Story
Lobo is a handsome boy with a scruffy charm and a playful spirit. He needs a new home so he doesn't end up at the shelter. His family moved and is not allowed dogs where they currently live. He loves people and enjoys being engaged with his humans, whether thats playtime, companionship, or just hanging out together. Hes active, fun, and would thrive with adopters who enjoy spending time interacting with their dog. Lobo is crate-trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. While his experience with other dogs is unknown due to limited outings, he has shown himself to be confident and affectionate with people. An ideal home would be a couple or a household with older kids who can match his energy and give him the structure and attention he deserves. Please visit our website www.promise4paws.org to fill out an adoption application to this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
PLEASE COMPLETE OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT WWW.LOVEBUGSRESCUE.ORG IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ADOPTION: Montana is a 3-year-old Cairn Terrier mix who weighs 17 lbs and is a gentle, sensitive soul who just needs the right person to help him shine. When he first came to us, he was very timid and scared, often hiding under the table to feel safe. With patience and consistency, he has begun to warm up to his foster and is showing his sweet, loyal nature. He will need a special adopter who understands that trust takes time and is willing to let him move at his own pace. Once he bonds, that connection is truly meaningful. He absolutely loves other dogs, and having a confident canine companion in the home would be a big bonus to help him feel secure and comfortable. His ideal home would be calm and quiet, with minimal traffic and no small children. A peaceful environment will allow him to continue building confidence and learning that the world can be a safe place. For someone with a gentle heart and a little patience, this boy will make a deeply rewarding companion. Montana's adoption fee is $600 and includes his neuter, microchip, vaccines current, deworming and flea treatment. Apply at www.lovebugsrescue.org
