Story
Meet Buggy!
Those big puppy eyes, adorable little ears, and that sweet face! How could anyone resist Buggy?
Buggy is an adorable 3-month-old Pug mix puppy looking for a loving family to call home!
This little cutie was found as a stray in South Texas. At just 3 months old, Buggy has already experienced life without a home to call their own. Thankfully, our rescue stepped in to give this precious puppy a second chance at the happy life every dog deserves!
With that shiny black coat, expressive eyes, and those funny little ears, Buggy is absolutely adorable! We believe Buggy may be a Pug mix, although without a DNA test, the exact breed is anyone’s guess. Based on Buggy’s appearance, we expect this little one to remain on the smaller side when fully grown, but adult size cannot be guaranteed.
At just 3 months old, Buggy is still very much a baby! Like any young puppy, Buggy will need a patient family committed to potty training, socialization, and teaching good manners. Puppies require time, consistency, and plenty of love as they learn about the world around them!
Buggy is expected to arrive in Virginia on November 13th! Currently in boarding in South Texas, we don’t have a complete picture of Buggy’s personality or temperament just yet. Once Buggy arrives and settles into foster care, we’ll be able to share more about this adorable little pup!
One thing is certain: Buggy deserves to spend the rest of puppyhood growing up in a loving home, surrounded by people who will provide the safety, patience, and affection every puppy deserves!
Interested in adopting Buggy?
The first step is completing an adoption application:
https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PDAR/Dog
Adoption Fee: $600
If Buggy has not been spayed or neutered before adoption, a spay/neuter agreement will be required, and a $100 refund will be issued once proof of the procedure is provided.
Why Adoption Fees Matter
Most of our dogs are rescued from high-intake shelters or straight off the streets in South Texas, where packs of stray animals run loose. Your adoption fee directly covers the significant costs required to bring these dogs to safety.
We are a registered nonprofit rescue, and any funds remaining after expenses go directly toward helping animals with major medical needs who might otherwise be left behind and euthanized.
Your adoption fee covers:
Transport: Safe transport from Texas to our local foster homes, costing approximately $200 to $230 per dog.
Vetting & Preventive Care: Spay/neuter surgery or an applicable spay/neuter agreement, age-appropriate core vaccines, deworming, a heartworm test (if age appropriate), and microchipping.
VCA Medical Partnership: Every adoption includes a complimentary first exam at any participating VCA Animal Hospital within the first 14 days. VCA also provides limited health coverage of up to $250 for qualifying minor illnesses, such as kennel cough or ear infections, diagnosed during that initial two-week window.
Important Rescue Policies
No Foster-to-Adopt Program: We do not offer a foster-to-adopt option. The majority of our dogs are already settled into loving local foster homes, and we aim to minimize unnecessary moves for their emotional well-being. Additionally, our rescue insurance policy prohibits it.
Breed and Size Guarantees: We cannot guarantee the breed mix or adult size of any dog in our care. Listed breeds are our best guess based on physical traits. Because our dogs are rescues with unknown histories, we cannot guarantee that a dog is not mixed with pit bull.
Puppy Vaccination Precautions: Young puppies who have not completed their full vaccination series must avoid public ground, dog parks, pet stores, and shared potty areas until cleared by their veterinarian. Adopters should be prepared to follow appropriate precautions to keep their puppy safe.
