My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Champ is a 2-year-old, 16 lb Shih Tzu with the most adorable underbite and a face that’s impossible not to love. This sweet boy was sadly abandoned on the street alongside some of his siblings, waiting on a corner for someone to come back for them—but no one ever did. Despite that rough start, Champ has kept his gentle heart.

He is dog friendly and does well with new people once he gets a moment to feel safe. Initially, Champ can be a bit of a flight risk, so a secure home with minimal comings and goings will be important for him as he settles in and builds confidence. With patience and consistency, he blossoms into a loving little companion.

Champ has handsome markings, a soft coat that will require regular grooming and upkeep, and of course—that unforgettable underbite that makes him extra charming. He’s ready for a calm, loving home where he can finally feel safe and cherished.

Champ may have been overlooked once, but he’s hoping this time someone chooses him forever.

Champ's adoption fee is $600 and includes his neuter, microchip, vaccines/deworming/flea treatment current and recent grooming. Apply at www.lovebugsrescue.org

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

If interested in one of our adoptables, we ask that you fill out our adoption application which can be found on our website at: www.lovebugsrescue.org

After we receive your application we will contact you to talk with you regarding the pet and answer any questions you have.

If both parties agree, a meet and greet can be set up so that you can see the pet in person. These will typically take place in the adopters home so that the pet may meet the other family members and pets in the household.

If both parties agree, an adoption can take place at that meeting. An adoption contract is signed and adoption fee paid. An adoption fee will range from $150 - $500.
