Harley was a homeless dog in the neighborhood that we caught and took home. at first she was a fence jumper and runner but after awhile became a home body. She has become over protective of her family and needs socializing with other people and may bite strangers if not restrained. We can’t keep her because she needs more socializing that we cannot provide. She is part German shepherd and Malinoi

Story
Meet Apollo! Apollo is a 5-year-old, 24 lb Shiba Inu/Retriever mix with a gentle heart and a sweet spirit. He sadly lost his home through no fault of his own—after his family went through a divorce, Apollo had nowhere to go. Thankfully, a kind Samaritan stepped in and reached out for help, and now this deserving boy is safe in foster care and enjoying long, peaceful trail walks with his foster mom. Apollo is a kind, sensitive soul. He can be a bit shy at first, so he’ll thrive with someone who understands slow introductions and gentle handling. Once he feels comfortable, his loving personality really shines. He’s already bonded beautifully with the German Shepherd in his foster home—they have a blast playing together! This smart boy has already mastered sit, and he also knows lay down and look. Even better, he’s potty trained. Apollo loves car rides, exploring new places, and being part of the adventure. He has been fully vetted, including a recent dental, and is healthy and ready for his next chapter. Due to his prey drive with small critters, Apollo will do best in a home without cats. Apollo is looking for a patient, loving adopter who will help him continue to blossom. If you’re searching for a loyal friend with a tender heart, Apollo may be the perfect match. Please complete our adoption application at www.lovebugsrescue.org Adoption fee is $400 and includes neuter, microchip, vaccines current, deworming and flea treatment.

Story
Sarang is an 11-year-old Shiba Inu who has been part of our family since she was a tiny puppy. She’s a black and tan sweetheart with a calm spirit and gentle heart. She’s affectionate, loyal, and loves simply being close to her people. She doesn’t need much, only love, companionship, and a peaceful environment where she feels safe. Sarang is happiest when she has company during the day. She can feel anxious when left alone for long hours, so she would do best with someone who works from home, is retired, or enjoys having a loyal companion by their side. She loves calm walks, quiet moments, and a small yard or cozy outdoor space would make her very happy. I work long shifts and my father’s recent stroke has placed new responsibilities on our family. As heartbreaking as it is, I want what is best for her... a loving home where she can feel safe, cared for, and surrounded by love every day. Sarang has given us so much joy, and she deserves a peaceful, happy life in her senior years.

Sweet, playful Angel is a very special baby! She is not the brightest puppy but her personality shines! She had a traumatic pre-natal brain injury, which causes her to be a little slow and fearful of stranger, but she just wants to be loved and pampered once she knows you. She is looking for an adopter OR local foster. Find her on Instagram @angel_needs_an_angel See her in action: https://youtu.be/pzkg5YSiTaQ

Story
Meet Leo!! He is a 2-year-old Basenji mix with so much love and energy to give. I met his previous owners, who were no longer in a position to own a dog, and I've been fostering him ever since. Leo is affectionate, intelligent, and full of personality. He loves to run, play fetch, and explore, but he's just as happy curling up for cuddles after a good day of activity. He is fully potty trained, crate trained, and walks well on leash. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and does well with cats who are familiar with dogs. Leo absolutely loves children, but needs to learn how to play with them(he gets really excited). Leo would thrive in an active home, someone who enjoys outdoor adventures, has a yard to play in, or can give him plenty of daily exercise and attention. Living with another dog would be a bonus for him! If you're looking for a goofy and loving companion, Leo is your guy!
