About Bug

Meet Bug, a fun-loving 65-pound Shepherd mix who radiates energy and joy! Bug has a big smile that can brighten your day. To win her over, try some tasty treats and a calm approach—she appreciates it when people let her come to them at her own pace. Once trust is established, her goofy side shines through! Bug thrives in active environments. She adores head-to-tail scratches and enjoys long walks, hikes, and outdoor playtime. Because she doesn't do well in small spaces, she needs a home that can provide ample opportunities for exercise and exploration. Keep in mind that without enough activity, she can become restless. While she could use some polishing on her manners, her loving heart more than makes up for it. If you’re seeking a loyal companion to share adventures and laughter with, Bug might just be the one for you! Her adoption fee is $225 plus tax, which goes towards her care and stay at the shelter. Residents of Pennington County also need to pay an additional $8 licensing fee at the time of adoption. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
