Story
PLEASE COMPLETE OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT WWW.LOVEBUGSRESCUE.ORG IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ADOPTION: SPECIAL NEEDS: Say hello to Patsy, a sweet-natured 3-year-old Maltese mix who weighs just 12 pounds but has love enough to fill a whole home. This darling girl charms everyone she meets with her gentle spirit, soft eyes, and cuddly nature. Patsy has a condition called megacolon, which means her colon doesn’t move things along quite as smoothly as it should. With the help of medication, a special diet, and a bit of monitoring, Patsy manages beautifully — though she’ll need a family who understands that sometimes she might need a little extra help. She’s wonderfully well-mannered in the home, walks nicely on leash, and adores spending time with people. Her long, silky coat will need regular grooming to keep her looking as lovely as she feels. Patsy is looking for a patient and loving forever home that will embrace her just the way she is — quirks and all. In return, she promises endless affection, loyalty, and snuggles. Could you be the special person who gives this beautiful girl the life she deserves? Patsy's adoption fee is $400 and includes her spay, microchip, vaccines/deworming/flea treatment all current. apply at www.lovebugsrescue.org

Spud

Bichon Frise Poodle (Miniature)

Male, 10 yrs
Irvine, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
PLEASE COMPLETE OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT WWW.LOVEBUGSRESCUE.ORG IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ADOPTION. Spud was rescued from the West Valley Animal Shelter after being surrendered by his suspected former owner. He arrived with a microchip, an unkempt and matted coat and long overgrown nails — but despite his rough condition, Spud greeted shelter staff with a wagging tail and a happy heart. Estimated to be around 10 years old and weighing 10 lbs, Spud has had his beauty makeover and is a spunky little gentleman who’s settling beautifully into his foster home. His cheerful spirit shines through, and he’s already won everyone over with his sweet, happy go lucky demeanor. He even enjoyed his very first pup cup the moment he left the shelter, slurping it down in minutes! Spud got an A+ on his bloodwork, his heart and lungs sound good and he’s got one tooth left in his mouth! He does have a sensitive trachea if too much pressure is applied in that area. Spud is pee pad trained and loves playing with his toys, especially with his ball. He happily keeps himself entertained and he loves going for adventures and walks too. Spud is now getting the care he’s long overdue and is ready to start the next chapter of his life with a family who will treasure him. He’s the perfect mix of mellow senior charm and joyful personality. Spud's adoption fee is $400 and includes his neuter, microchip, vaccines/deworming/flea treatment current.
