Meet Bug, a big heart, a goofy personality and a whole lot of love to give! Bug came into our care as a wee pup, very underweight and with rickets, which affected his little legs. With the right nutrition and care, he’s blossomed and made amazing progress. 🥹 Our vet team have now given Bug the tick of approval to get out there and do all the things puppies should do! His left leg may always be a little wonky, but that certainly isn’t going to stop this boy from enjoying life. Bug is a sweet, smooshy goofball who loves being close to his people and involved in whatever is happening. He’s full of character and will keep you smiling. If you’re looking for a little shadow who’ll happily keep you company, Bug could be your boy! Bug will need a home where someone works from home or is around a lot as he’s still young. He’ll also need secure, sturdy fencing and a cosy, warm bed inside where he can be part of the family. Bug has come such a long way, and now it’s time for him to find his family who will love him for exactly who he is.
If Bug isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
