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

He’s very people-oriented and thrives on companionship. While he enjoys being around other dogs and gets excited to socialize with them, he would also be perfectly happy as an only dog soaking up all the love. He’s potty trained, walks well on leash, and is wonderfully well-mannered in the home. Adding to his charm, Trevor does great with cats and is a gentle, kind soul who does well meeting new people. He gets along nicely with other dogs and brings a calm, loving presence wherever he goes. His soft, beautiful coat will require regular grooming and upkeep as it continues to grow in fuller. Trevor is a 7-year-old, 11-lb Maltese mix who is ready to begin the next chapter of his life in a loving, committed home where he can stay close to his people and be cherished the way he deserves.
