Story
Dudley is a 2-year-old, 10 lb Shih Tzu mix with handsome markings and a gentle soul. He was sadly abandoned alongside some of his siblings, so it’s understandable that he’s taking a little time to settle into his foster home. With patience and kindness, this sweet boy is already starting to show his loving nature. Dudley is both dog-friendly and people-friendly, but he will do best in a secure home with minimal comings and goings, where he can feel safe and build confidence at his own pace. He has a soft coat that will require regular grooming and upkeep to keep him looking and feeling his best. Dudley is a sweet, deserving boy who’s ready for a fresh start and a forever home where he can finally relax and be loved. Adoption fee is $600 and includes his neuter, microchip, vaccines/deworming/flea treatment current, and recent grooming. Apply at www.lovebugsrescue.org

Story
Champ is a 2-year-old, 16 lb Shih Tzu with the most adorable underbite and a face that’s impossible not to love. This sweet boy was sadly abandoned on the street alongside some of his siblings, waiting on a corner for someone to come back for them—but no one ever did. Despite that rough start, Champ has kept his gentle heart. He is dog friendly and does well with new people once he gets a moment to feel safe. Initially, Champ can be a bit of a flight risk, so a secure home with minimal comings and goings will be important for him as he settles in and builds confidence. With patience and consistency, he blossoms into a loving little companion. Champ has handsome markings, a soft coat that will require regular grooming and upkeep, and of course—that unforgettable underbite that makes him extra charming. He’s ready for a calm, loving home where he can finally feel safe and cherished. Champ may have been overlooked once, but he’s hoping this time someone chooses him forever. Champ's adoption fee is $600 and includes his neuter, microchip, vaccines/deworming/flea treatment current and recent grooming. Apply at www.lovebugsrescue.org
