Story
This little lady may roll instead of run, but she still makes sure she’s the life of the pawty! Olive was born with a neurological condition called degenerative myelopathy, which affects her spinal cord and has led to paralysis in her back legs. While the condition is permanent, it isn’t painful – and Olive doesn’t let it slow her down one bit! Whether she’s cruising around in her wheels or snuggling up for a nap, Olive proves every day that bravery comes in all shapes – and sometimes, with four wheels. These days, she rolls through life in her trusty wheelchair, happily exploring the world, soaking up sunshine, and charming everyone she meets. Olive is living proof that every dog deserves a chance.

Story
Hey there, I’m Everest! I’m a 2yearold, female, 21pound Pug mix with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wiggling. I just finished raising my adorable puppies, and now I’m ready for my own happilyeverafter! I might be a tiny bit shy when we first meet, but give me a minute and—BOOM—I’m your new shadow. I’m a certified Velcro pup who believes personal space is a myth. If you’re looking for a buddy who sticks by your side like glue, I’m your girl. I love walks (I get excited and might do a little “zoompull”), and toys are basically the best thing ever. I’m great with dogs, cats, and kids—pretty much anyone who wants to be my friend. I’m a quiet little lady who rarely barks, and I’ve got a gentle, sweet personality. My only request? Please don’t put me in a crate. I’d much rather be out and about with my people, supervising all activities like the tiny queen I am. If you want a loyal, snuggly, goofy companion who will adore you endlessly, I think we should meet. Interested in adopting me? Head over to www.LOLR.org and fill out an application! ##2638535##

Story
Meet Matterhorn, the little troublemaker with a heart of gold!This 4monthold Pug/French Bulldog mix (DNA confirmed!) is living his very best puppy life. His daily routine includes pestering his endlessly patient mom, zooming around the yard like he’s training for the Puppy Olympics, and soaking up every ounce of human affection he can get. Matterhorn is loving, energetic, and wonderfully loyal and the kind of pup who assumes every person he meets is already part of his fan club. He adores kids, cuddles, and collapsing into a wellearned nap after a day of adorable chaos.Like all puppies, he’ll need continued socialization and training to help him grow into the best dog he can be. And because he’s a brachycephalic (snubnosed) little dude, he’ll need to stay cool and avoid overheating. A home with another wellrounded dog would be a huge bonus — he loves having partners in crime.Matterhorn is vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. He’ll be neutered when he’s old enough, and a neuter deposit may be required.If you’d like to meet or adopt Matterhorn, head to LOLR.org and submit an adoption application. ##2643137##

Story
PLEASE COMPLETE OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT WWW.LOVEBUGSRESCUE.ORG IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ADOPTION: Hopper is a 14-week-old scruffy Pug/Maltese mix with the most irresistible underbite and a personality that’s just starting to blossom. Born from an accidental litter, Hopper was surrendered to rescue when he couldn’t be sold. Despite his rough start, this little guy is ready to discover all the joys of being a cherished family member. Having spent much of his young life living in a crate, Hopper is excited to explore the world around him. New experiences can make him a little timid at first, but with patience and encouragement, his playful side quickly shines through. Once he feels comfortable, Hopper loves to strut around confidently and show off his adorable zoomies. Hopper is looking for a loving home that will continue building his confidence and introducing him to all the adventures puppyhood has to offer. With his sweet nature, scruffy good looks, and charming underbite, he’s sure to bring plenty of smiles and laughter to his future family. Adoption fee is $450 and includes neuter, microchip, first puppy vaccine, deworming and flea treatment. Apply at www.lovebugsrescue.org
