Roxy

Name:
Roxy
Breed:
Retriever
Gender:
Female
Weight:
49 lbs
Age:
10 months
ADOPTION PENDING: Roxy is a sweet natured retriever who was given up by her former family after they had a baby and were leaving her outside. She is 10 months old and weighs 49 lbs. Roxy has a fun playful spirit and is down for a romp with anyone who is able and willing.
Roxy is learning leash skills and other basics from our trainer. She loves other dogs and ignores the cat in her foster. The best type of home for Roxy would be one that has a little extra time to help her continue to get basic training and confidence building. Another dog would be a big plus, and she’d love a yard.
Paw Patrol Pups

Name:
Paw Patrol Pups
Breed:
Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler)

Age:
6 weeks

Eve

Name:
Eve
Breed:
Chihuahua
Gender:
Female
Weight:
5.5 lbs
Age:
10 weeks
Eve was turned into the shelter on New Years Eve without an owner in sight. Thankfully a Lovebugs foster scooped her to safety so she didn’t have to stay at the shelter. Eve is an adorable Chihuahua mix puppy. She loves her little foster brother Sammie and they romp, play and nap together. Eve weighs 5.5 lbs currently and should mature in the small breed range when full grown (12-15 lbs). Eve is shy with new people she meets so will require a slow warm up. She will benefit from a little confidence building and exposure to our human world. Eve is very food motivated which will make training a breeze. She would do best in a home that has less coming and going, and another pooch for her would be a big plus (but not a must). She promises to be a loving and loyal gal!
Paloma

Name:
Paloma
Breed:
Labrador Retriever
Gender:
Female
Weight:
30 lbs
Age:
1 year
PENDING ADOPTION: Paloma was found roaming in Tecate, Mexico with her 9 puppies in tow. Thankfully, a good samaritan scooped them up to safety and they are all with Lovebugs Rescue! Paloma is the perfect size weighing in at 30 lbs. We think she’s about 1 year old and she’s pretty perfect. Paloma loves meeting new dogs and people. She is potty trained and walks well on leash. Paloma loves giving kisses and enjoys being cuddled. She is absolutely the cutest thing ever with her gray coat and floppy ears. She might be a Lab/Weimaraner mixed in with something smaller. We can’t imagine the life she lived before, but we are sure to make it up to her on the next round!
Tecate

Name:
Tecate
Breed:
Labrador Retriever
Gender:
Male
Weight:
10 lbs
Age:
12 weeks
These cuties were found in a desolate area of Tecate, Mexico roaming with their mom. It’s clear they had been dumped and were fending for themselves. Thankfully our Mexico contact reached out for help, and we had an open foster to take in all 9 puppies and mom! Carmen, Catalina, Lupita, Margarita, Maya, Nacho, Oso, Pablo & Tecate are about 12 weeks old and we’ve started their initial vetting to prepare them for adoption. They are a gorgeous group with colors varying grey, brindle, black and some with light colored eyes. We are guessing the mix is Lab/Weimaraner/Pittie mix. They are super sweet puppies and are going to make wonderful family members. We expect them to mature in the 50 – 60 lb range when full grown. The perfect size!
