About Bugsy

Meet Bugsy, a bug-eyed character who recently made his way to us from the San Diego Humane Society. Bugsy had a rough start—he was found loose at a San Diego dog park, along with a group of dogs that someone had irresponsibly dumped. Bugsy came in with bite wounds on his hind left leg that needed stitches, but he’s bounced back and now his fur is starting to grow in again. Bugsy doesn’t let his past get him down. He’s a laid-back, loving boy who enjoys being picked up and held. He quickly warmed up to new friends and fits in easily. Ball games are his specialty—he’ll proudly parade his favorite toys around the house, happy as can be. Bugsy isn’t yet house trained, so some patience will be needed as he settles in. He gets along well with other dogs and is gentle with children. Any loving home will find his easygoing nature a perfect fit. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
