Story
Lea was rescued as a puppy in early 2012. She loves to be pet and to go for walks, and would thrive as the only pet in a home. She does not get along with cats, and can be territorial when dealing with them. She hasn’t hurt our cats, but we also don’t want to risk it so we keep them separated most of the time. In our experience, she gets along with other small dogs for the most part, but it’s on a case by case basis (some animals just don’t get along). Unfortunately, due to our living situation, it would be best for us and Lea if we could find her a new home.

Story
Meet Millie, a gorgeous 1 year old 12 lb Chihuahua mix whose beauty is matched only by her affectionate heart. Millie has striking, distinctive markings around her eyes reminiscent of a Jack Russell, which perfectly complement her lovely coloring. Millie is the ultimate “Velcro puppy,” happiest when she’s right by your side. She lives for human connection, whether she’s offering her signature chest hugs, curling up in your lap, or perching on your shoulder. This smart girl is highly food-motivated, making training a fun and rewarding experience. Playtime with Millie is a joy! She has an impressive vertical leap and absolutely loves a good game of fetch. In a home with cats, she thrives alongside confident felines but may chase a scaredy-cat. Millie is ready to commit entirely to her forever person, and she’s looking for someone who can dedicate the same level of love and attention to helping her work through her initial attachment needs. Bring this loving, smart, and playful girl into your life, and you’ll gain a loyal best friend who will fill your home with cuddles and joy. Millie's adoption fee is $500 and includes her spay, microchip, vaccines/deworming/flea treatment current. Apply at www.lovebugsrescue.org

Story
Meet Remi & Harley – Two Special Souls, One Unbreakable Bond   Remi (female) and Harley (male) are an extraordinary pair looking for a forever home together. Both around 3 years old, they were born without their front legs—but don’t tell them that, because it doesn’t slow them down from enjoying life and sharing love.   These two are incredibly bonded and bring comfort and joy to each other’s lives. They are quiet, gentle dogs who thrive in a calm environment and get along beautifully with other dogs. Their resilience and sweet nature are truly inspiring, and whoever adopts them will gain two loyal companions with hearts of gold.   Remi and Harley’s special needs mean they’ll do best with a family ready to give them the extra care and support they deserve, but the love they give in return is beyond measure.   About Remi & Harley:   Age: ~3 years old Bonded pair – must be adopted together Dog-friendly Quiet and gentle personalities Born without front legs (special needs, but full of life and love)     These two are proof that love knows no limits.
