Story
🐾 Meet Cuddlebug 🐾Not every dog walks in like they own the place.Some… take a minute.Cuddlebug is Arrow’s sister — but where Arrow is bold and ready to take on the world, Cuddlebug is the quiet one watching from the sidelines, figuring you out first.She’s not shy forever.She’s just careful with her heart.At first, she’ll hang back. Observe. Take it all in.And then one day… she decides you’re hers.And that’s when everything changes.The first time she trusts you enough for cuddles?You’ll understand exactly how she got her name.She melts into you.Leans in.Stays close.Not because she has to — because she chose you.⸻Cuddlebug is a 25 lb wire-haired beauty with the most soulful brown eyes and those big, expressive ears you won’t forget. She’s got a unique little mix that gives her both softness and personality — the best of both worlds.She’s:✔️ Spayed✔️ UTD on vaccines✔️ Mostly housebroken (will use puppy pads if needed)✔️ Good with dogs✔️ Kid friendly✔️ Working on leash skills and confidenceShe loves:• Lounging in the sun• Playing with her dog friends (with a little sneak-attack energy 😏)• Chew toys• Quiet cuddle time on the couch or in bed⸻This is not an “instant best friend” dog.This is a slow-burn, earn-it kind of love.The kind that unfolds quietly…and then suddenly feels like it’s always been there.If you want a dog who chooses you —not just anyone —Cuddlebug is that dog.⸻Adoption Details:• DOB: 9/15/25 | ~25 lbs | Terrier mix (per paperwork)• Adoption fee: $500• Located in Kenosha, WI👉 Apply to adopt at www.biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550

Story
Foster Update: "Anna and Geno have been with me since early Dec and we have learned so much about them . They were owner surrender Euthanasia requests at CACC and nothing was wrong with them . They are loving and healthy seniors who experienced a lot of neglect in their past situation. Geno is a social butterfly. He loves being part of a pack . The more dogs the better for him. He will walk into any room and happily say hello to any dog, person or cat. Anna is a little more stand offish at first , but once she gains trust she gains confidence and she is the cutest 5 pounds I've ever seen. Both love to go on walks , but also love the fenced in backyard when the weather is cold . They are fine with free roam when I go to work , but if I'm gone for a longer periods of time I leave out pee pads and they will use them. No separation anxiety. They act like cats . I call them cat dogs . Like many little dog's they will need regular grooming and are fine with being groomed and handled . These two are the easiest fosters I've ever had and are a joy to be around. Here are some new photos below. I love them :)" Foster Update: "Here is what I know about them so far : 1. They Love their little crate they came in with . They want to be in there together 70 percent of the time. 2. Gino is more adventurous. 3. They are mostly potty trained . They go out to the yard and use the bathroom . They also use the pee pads . Gino will occasionally mark , but not terrible. 4. They used to bark and growl at my dogs in their crate whenever they saw them. I've been doing slow intros and they now are totally fine with them . They were just scared . I'd recommend slow intros and no teenage dogs /jumpy mouthy dogs for them. My Tilly (formally your Tilly ) 85 pound dog used to be so scared of them 😂 Now she's getting better :) They are such great easy dogs . They really love each other , so may be a bonded pair , but they are so little it's easy having two."
