Story

PLEASE COMPLETE OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT WWW.LOVEBUGSRESCUE.ORG IF YOU'D LIKE TO MEET RUBY - PLEASE READ HER FULL LISTING BEFORE APPLYING TO ADOPT: Meet Ruby, a resilient little soul with a heart full of love and a spirit that refuses to quit. Ruby is a 5-year-old, 18 lb Maltese mix who came from an unimaginably neglectful situation. She had been living outside in a filthy crate covered by a tarp, with a severely matted coat. She had such advanced dental disease that her jaw fractured as a result. Despite everything she has endured, Ruby has continued to amaze us every step of the way with her strength, sweetness, and determination. Ruby has recovered from her dental and her jaw fracture is healed. You can tell how much happier she is as a result! Ruby's back left leg has a partial amputation, which we don't know the history of. It doesn't seem to bother her and she gets around just fine on 3 legs. We are working to get her fitted for a prosthetic that she can wear long term. Ruby was also diagnosed with a heart murmur, but she is on medication for this and hasn't been symptomatic. This should be monitored with follow up echocardiograms as needed. Since coming into rescue, she has grown stronger and healthier, blossoming into a happy little companion who is ready to begin her next chapter with a loving family of her own. Ruby is friendly, affectionate, and enjoys the company of other dogs and even cats too. She loves car rides, adventures, and being close to her people. Ruby is also extremely well-mannered in the home and has a calm, gentle presence that makes her such a joy to be around. After all she’s been through, Ruby deserves a family who will cherish her, spoil her, and show her the love and safety she’s always deserved. Ruby's adoption fee is $400 and that includes her spay, microchip, vaccines current, deworming, flea treatment, recent dental and grooming. Apply to adopt at www.lovebugsrescue.org

Story

At just two years old, this adorable Maltipoo may be small, but his personality is anything but! He’s a loyal little guy with a big heart and an even bigger sense of responsibility. Once he bonds with his person, he takes his job as “official protector” very seriously — maybe just a little too seriously. He loves his human deeply and prefers not to share the spotlight. Because of his strong attachment style, he would do best as the only dog in the home. He wants all your love, attention, and lap space to himself — and honestly, he’ll return it tenfold. We’re not sure how he feels about cats yet, so slow introductions would be key. This sweet boy would thrive in a home with respectful kids over 12 who understand that even cute, fluffy dogs need personal space. He’s incredibly loving, affectionate, and happiest when he’s close to his person — but he does need clear, consistent boundaries to help him feel secure and balanced. With structure, patience, and positive reinforcement, this little Maltipoo will blossom into the most devoted companion you could ask for. He just needs someone who can lovingly remind him that he doesn’t have to run the household — he just has to be adored in it. Ready to meet your pint-sized protector? March 17, 2026, 7:02 pm

Story

Meet Kevin! A 3 year old Maltese mix weighing about 10 pounds. He has the face only a mother would love with his intense underbite. This little dude has a big personality and hanging out with him is anything but boring. He is curious, silly, dog-friendly, people-friendly and hasn’t had a treat he didn’t love. The way to his heart is through his stomach. Kevin has met cats before and mostly ignores them so we feel like with proper introduction and time, he will happily co-exist with any human, dog , and cat. He’s eager to find his forever home where he can share his playful spirit and affection. To meet Kevin, apply here: https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html

Story

Meet Archie von Marshmellow! Archie von Marshmellow is a lovable 22-pound Maltese mix, around 3 years old, with a personality as soft and sweet as his name suggests. Found as a stray with no one coming forward to claim him, Archie has kept his spirits high and his tail wagging. He’s a true happy-go-lucky boy who takes life as it comes—whether that’s enjoying a stroll, soaking up attention, or just lounging nearby like the perfect little companion. Archie is a little on the fluffy side right now and would benefit from a healthy routine with regular walks and balanced meals—but he’s more than ready to take that on with his future family by his side. Easygoing, affectionate, and always down to be near his people, Archie brings a light, joyful energy into any home.
