About Buggy

Buggy is the embodiment of pure play. He’s always in motion—flopping, hopping, zooming around the yard, and making even the most ordinary days feel exciting. If there’s a game of chase or a wrestling match to join, Buggy’s first in line, flashing a wide grin as he ropes in every dog around him. He gets a kick out of being chased, especially when he’s nabbed a toy or the occasional off-limits item. Social is an understatement; Buggy makes fast friends with both people and dogs, bringing instant energy to every group. His confidence around cats can be a bit much, so he needs a cat companion who is good at setting boundaries. Buggy has been housetrained, does great in his crate, and is fully vetted. At about 50lbs and three years old, he’s looking for a home with at least one other dog—he thrives in canine company. Buggy arrived at the rescue with Oatmeal, his longtime playmate. They're not a bonded pair, but they'd happily continue life together. If you’re looking to add pure joy and nonstop fun to your world, you want Buggy. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
