Meet Mudbug Male Lab x Heeler Mix Born 4/5/2026 Mudbug may be tiny now, but this little Louisiana legend is already winning hearts everywhere he goes. With his adorable face, easygoing personality, and goofy puppy charm, he's the kind of pup who makes people smile without even trying.

He's currently thriving in foster care with his littermates and has quickly earned the title of "the chill one" of the bunch.

Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention.

Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed. ***Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures.
