Ahoy! Popeye here! I’m a calm, seasoned soul with a lot of love to give. As a retired food critic, I know all the best snacks and I’m an expert at catching them midair! These days, I prefer the simple things: soft beds, slow walks, and soaking up the sunshine. But don’t let me chill vibes fool you – I’ve still got big opinions, and I’m not afraid to share them with a well-timed side-eye or dramatic sigh. I’m affectionate with my favorite people, and I enjoy giving them kisses and getting cuddles. Because staff want me to be successful in my new home, I’ve been awarded a Goodpup Scholarship (a $200 value) which is one-on-one training at no cost to the adopter!Scroll down to check out both my videos!

Story
PLEASE COMPLETE OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT WWW.LOVEBUGSRESCUE.ORG IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ADOPTION: Tucker is a 6-month-old, 28 lb Australian Cattle Dog/American Pit Bull Terrier mix with a heart as big as his adorable, uniquely marked face. This sweet boy was rescued from the South LA City shelter after arriving with a broken front leg. Because his fractures were along the growth plate, the safest approach was to let the leg heal naturally—and Tucker handled the whole process like an absolute champ. Through splint changes, limited activity, and lots of rest, Tucker stayed his happy, cooperative self. However, we recently noticed that he continues to lift his leg up in discomfort and only gingerly uses it. We decided to get a second opinion from an orthopedic specialist and they feel it was in his best interest to amputate the leg. Due to the severity of the infection when he came in, there was not enough blood flow to his forearm which caused bone loss. His elbow also became dislocated through the splinting process and he would eventually start to get arthritis down the road. His amputation surgery went well and Now he’s footloose, “injured leg free”, and getting stronger every day. He continues to greet us with his award winning smile. Nothing slows this spirited pup down! Tucker loves to play, explore, and go on adventures with his foster mom. He’s an active, social boy who has a blast playing with other dogs. He’ll thrive in a home ready to continue his outings, basic training, and some fun brain-work to keep him engaged. With his loving nature, fun energy, and eye-catching markings, Tucker is completely irresistible. He’s expected to mature around 50 lbs once full grown. Tucker is ready for a family who will keep up with his playful spirit and give him the active, happy life he deserves. Could that be you? Tucker's adoption fee is $500 and includes his neuter, microchip, vaccines current, deworming and flea treatment. Apply at www.lovebugsrescue.org

Story
PLEASE COMPLETE OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT WWW.LOVEBUGSRESCUE.ORG IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ADOPTION: Meet PJ – the Bravest Little Boxer Mix Pup! PJ’s story is nothing short of remarkable. This adorable brindle Boxer mix puppy came into the shelter as part of a hoarding case and arrived in foster care in very fragile condition. His gums were pale, he was severely anemic, and veterinarians discovered a heart murmur. Sadly, his sibling did not survive—but PJ kept fighting. With round-the-clock care, his foster worked tirelessly for three weeks to stabilize him and help him regain strength. PJ has had a vet re-check and his heart murmur is resolving on its own and he’s cleared for adoption. PJ is a resilient little pup with the spirit of a survivor and the heart of a cuddlebug. PJ is brindle with adorable white markings, has soft floppy ears, and the sweetest, most trusting eyes. He’s truly a happy-go-lucky pup who loves everyone he meets. He adores his foster fur siblings, enjoys tagging along on adventures, and is always ready for a snuggle, a toy, or a new friend. Despite his rough start, PJ’s personality shines—playful, social, affectionate, and eager to explore the world with his people. He will need continued veterinary monitoring and a home ready to support his medical needs, but in return he will give endless love and joy. If you’re looking for a brave, loving companion with a heart full of hope, PJ is your guy. PJ's adoption fee is $600 and includes his neuter, microchip, vaccines current, deworming and flea treatment. Apply at www.lovebugsrescue.org
