Click Here to Sponsor Me!  Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application   ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet.                                   Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process  Meet Bug, the tiny warrior with a heart much bigger than his 8.5 lb frame. Life hasn’t been kind to him. He’s only 6 years old and still has so much to offer. Bug was found as a stray in Long Beach and his matting was so severe that it cost him his front leg (it literally fell off at the shelter before they got him into the surgery room.)  Despite the trauma of his past, Bug is showing us the true definition of resilience. He is currently learning to navigate the world on three legs with incredible bravery. While Bug is dog-friendly, he’s a bit of an introvert right now and prefers to keep to himself as he regains his confidence. If you have a soft spot for the underdogs (and the “tripawds”) and a little extra room in your home, you could be the family that leads Bug to his forever life.

Meet Sugar Plum, a two-year-old purebred petite Shih Tzu girl. She is a bit shy but a sweet dog. She adores dogs so a home with another Shih Tzu is a must. We require a home with a fenced-in yard, another small dog, no kids, and someone with experience with this breed. Someone needs to be retired or working from home to adopt Sugar Plum. If interested go to www.arrfsandiego.org and fill out the adoption application
