Story
Hello! Lulu is 7 months old and she is the sweetest little girl. I have been fostering her for about 2 weeks now. I wanted to try and find her a home through acquaintances but could not rehome her. My mom’s friend was about to take her to the pound and I told her I would take her until I find her a home. I would love to keep her but I already have 2 older dogs in a small apartment and do not have the time to care for a puppy due to my work schedule. She is already potty trained but does make accidents sometimes. As she gets older, I know she will be perfect. She can sit and give hand when she isn’t too distracted. She loves other dogs and would fit in very well with a large family. She also loves to cuddle! You will see!! 😊. She truly needs a home that will put in the time and effort to train a puppy and have quality time with her.

Story
PLEASE COMPLETE OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT WWW.LOVEBUGSRESCUE.ORG IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ADOPTION: Glimmer came to Lovebugs Rescue after her and several other dogs were seen being dumped, with one being hit by a car and killed. Thankfully Glimmer was scooped up to safety. She is very shy initially and needs a slow warm up to new people, but her tail will be wagging once she knows her people a little better. She loves other dogs and would benefit being in a home with another pooch to pal around with. Glimmer did come to us with some cracked front teeth, which have since been removed. We don’t know what her past was like, but she’s now onto a bright new future ahead! Glimmer is a 2 year old 11 lb Dachshund/Chihuahua mix and has that adorable low rider build. An ideal home for her would be one that is on the quiet side without a lot of coming and going. Also a secure outdoor spot she can go potty. Glimmer's adoption fee is $350 and includes her spay, registered microchip, vaccines current, deworming and flea treatment. Apply at www.lovebugsrescue.org

D.O.B. 10/20/2016 weighs 14 pounds Hello there, I'm Monkey. You might wonder why I'm named so. Well, it's a magical tale. I was once a loyal companion to a kind wizard. One day, he needed to leave on a long journey and couldn't take me along. He waved his wand, whispered a spell, and poof! I found myself in this cozy rescue. I'm a bit shy, but I promise I'm as sweet as honey and mellow as a summer's day. I'm a big fan of treats, they're my favorite currency! If you're looking for a gentle and loyal friend, I'm your guy.

I'm not looking for adventures or long hikes, just a quiet retirement home where I can relax and be loved. If you have a soft spot for sweet, mellow companions, then we might just be a perfect match. Adopting me means giving a loving home to a senior pet, and in return, I promise to fill your life with unconditional love and peaceful companionship.
