In the shelter’s words

Give a warm welcome to Bugs, a Texas stray who has never met a stranger because he makes quick friends with everyone who has the good fortune to make his acquaintance.Bugs is a 1-year-old Black Labrador/mixed breed boy who weighs 50 pounds, making him a medium sized dog (31-60 pounds). He has the most adorable perky ears that seem to be standing at attention listening for friends to show up for fun and frolic. Friendly does not begin to capture just how outgoing and eager Bugs is to make the most of time with other dogs and children. Bugs does require a cat-free home.Bugs is learning that being a good boy at home means learning his manners and he is hard at work at his house training and leash rules. Rescue dogs may have accidents as they transition to a new home, so patience is also important. If crate training is planned, Bugs requires a crate that is big enough for him to turn around, stand in and lie down. Crates need to be warm welcoming places and must never be used for punishment. Bugs has a mysterious past but he is a resilient guy who just needs a forever home with folks who want only the best for him, which includes plenty of friends and fun.* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Bugs is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees. To get the ball rolling, head over to our Adoption Application and submit your application today. A Dog Star representative will contact you within 24 hours. To speed up the process, contact your vet and give them permission to speak with us.If you do not get a response within 24 hours, check your spam folder.
