About Bugsy

Bugsy is a unique character who was found as a stray in NYC. While he was at the shelter, he often spun in circles, leading to concerns about possible neurological issues. However, after an MRI and spinal tap, the results were normal. It's worth noting that Bugsy is severely vision impaired, which might contribute to his behavior. He requires a home as the only pet, possibly due to his vision challenges or an innate prey drive. Bugsy is still learning house training but loves his leash walks and enjoys playing with a favorite green ball that makes silly noises. This friendly dog is great with children, making him a feasible addition to families. Bugsy is neutered and vaccinated, ready to find a caring home where he can thrive. If you're interested in learning more about him, his foster mom is available to discuss his daily routine and care. Your new best friend is just one click away.
