About Mugsy

Mugsy arrived with his brother Scooby and immediately showed how much he loves to play and run. They’re both high-energy, always up for a game, and do best where there’s lots of space—so a fenced yard is a must for Mugsy. While he and Scooby are bonded, Mugsy can be adopted on his own; what he really needs is a home where he’s the only dog, as he doesn’t do well with others. Mugsy is not a fan of cats either, but he does get along with children in the home. This sturdy American Bulldog has a big personality and would thrive in a place where he has the freedom to let loose, explore, and bond with his people. Born May 1, Mugsy is a Taurus—steady, earnest, and loyal. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
