Story
Meet Luna, an adult canine companion who has a heart full of boundless energy. She is learning to balance her want for independence and her need to bark at you for attention. She`s a dog who thrives on activity, whether it`s a brisk walk around the block or a playful game of fetch. This spirited, independent girl is looking for a forever home where her energy and love for life can be fully appreciated. She is looking for an all adult home who can respect her space-- she can be a bit uncomfortable if you invade her headspace too quickly. Adopting Luna would give her the opportunity to be understood, love for who she is, and encouraged to be the best dog she can be. She has been awarded a GoodPup Scholarship (a $200 value), which is one-on-one training at no cost to the adopter!

Story
Meet Duke – A Big-Hearted Boy Looking for a Fresh Start Duke is a 5-year-old, 64-pound American Staffordshire mix who’s neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Since being found in a park in October 2023, Duke has come a long way—he’s affectionate, smart, and full of personality. He loves cuddles, sunbathing, chasing birds, and chewing on toys or cardboard boxes. He’s also a foodie, with favorites like watermelon, apple, bell pepper, and the occasional french fry.He knows many commands (sit, down, heel, stay, speak, and more) and graduated from a board & train program where he learned great leash manners and impulse control.Duke does have some medical and behavioral needs. He has allergies (both food and environmental), a repaired leg (TPLO surgery in 2024), and a congenital soft palate defect. He’s reactive to motorcycles and has shown occasional redirected aggression, so he walks with a muzzle for safety. He needs an experienced, adult-only home that can provide structure and ongoing training.Despite his challenges, Duke is incredibly loving, goofy, and loyal. He bonds deeply with his people and will thrive in the right home—one that understands him and is ready to give him a second chance.If you’re experienced with reactive dogs and looking for a sweet, quirky companion, Duke may be the one for you.April 17, 2025, 10:18 pm

Story
Copper is an energetic, playful, and affectionate pup who thrives on structure and daily activity. In his foster home, he’s done incredibly well with clear boundaries, a consistent routine, and regular exercise—all of which have helped him blossom into a well-mannered and happy dog.Copper is dog-friendly and has been learning how to engage appropriately with other dogs. While he can be a bit enthusiastic during playtime, he's shown he can get along well—especially with the right match and proper introductions. He was originally surrendered due to occasional nipping during play, so he's looking for an owner who can continue reinforcing positive behavior and setting him up for success.Copper would do best with someone who can provide guidance, patience, and a structured environment. In return, he’ll reward you with loyalty, love, and plenty of fun. If you're looking for a joyful companion who’s eager to bond and keep you active, Copper could be the perfect fit!June 26, 2025, 5:22 pm

Story
Meet Molly! She has been waiting for a forever home since November 2022! Molly is a sweet, spunky girl with a heart as big as her smile. At 7 years old, she’s the perfect mix of mature and active — ready to lounge on the couch or hit the trails for a long weekend walk. She’s gone on hikes, runs, and multi-hour strolls, and she keeps up like a champ!Molly is incredibly well-behaved in the house. She’s crate trained, housebroken, and respectful — no chewed shoes or mystery puddles here. She's also a great sleeper, curling up in her dog bed all night in her humans’ room without a peep.Molly is very food motivated (she’s never missed a meal!) and enjoys toys, bath time, and being part of the family routine. She’s strong on leash but doesn't pull. She can pass by other calm dogs just fine, but she may react if another dog is reactive, so she’ll need an experienced owner who can read her cues and continue her training.If you're looking for a loyal companion who's full of love, ready for adventures, and happiest curled up beside you, Molly might just be your girl.May 13, 2025, 6:37 pm

Our girl Fifi is super sweet, loves attention, and does well with other dogs. She is 3 years old and is 58 pounds. Fifi is a very pretty girl with such soulful eyes. She had a rough start being found on a property after the tenants were evicted. While in the shelter, she gave birth to puppies who all found fosters. Thankfully, we were able to take in Fifi, and now she is ready for a home! Fifi knows basic commands and is silky soft. She has so much to offer a family who is willing to put in the work to help her reach her full potential! She is currently in boarding and would love a foster or forever home. Could it be yours? She has been waiting 9 months for a home environment to start her new life.June 30, 2025, 5:43 pm

Story
PLEASE COMPLETE OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT WWW.LOVEBUGSRESCUE.ORG IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ADOPTION: Lyanna is a 2 year old 50 lb Boxer/Rottie mix who was found as a stray in horrible condition. She was looking for scraps in the middle of a busy road and thankfully didn't get hit by a car. Lyanna is lucky a good samaritan scooped her to safety and we are truly so happy that she is now under our care! Lyanna is loving life in her foster home and we can already see her transformation. Her gorgeous brindle coat now has a shiny sheen to it. She is starting to fill in a bit, although she is still quite lean. She is a very sweet natured and loving dog. She loves her foster family and enjoys romping in the garden with the other dogs. Lyanna loves walking on leash, but she is a strong girl so will need a little leash training. She greets other dogs and people nicely on leash. The best type of home for Lyanna would be a secure home with a yard that is on the low key side. She would love to have another pooch to pal around with. Also someone who has time to do some bonding and training with their pooch. Lyanna's adoption fee is $400, that includes her spay, microchip, vaccines/flea treatment and deworming current. Apply at www.lovebugsrescue.org
