Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Mission Viejo, California

Meet Bugsy -Playful. Sweet. Full of heart.

Bugsy is a 5 month old female Lab mix (likely to stay on the smaller side) who came to us after her human dad unexpectedly passed away. Despite such a big life change, she's settling beautifully into her foster home and showing everyone what a joyful little soul she is. Bugsy is everything you'd expect from a young pup — playful, curious, goofy, affectionate, and always ready for fun. She loves exploring, learning, and being near her people.

Great With Other Pets
• Dog friendly — she adores other dogs and would thrive with a friendly canine companion to help guide her
• Cat potential — she met a cat at the vet and didn't react, so with proper introductions, she may do well in a home with kitties too

Training & Home Needs
Bugsy is 100% puppy, which means she'll need a home committed to continued training, structure, and patience. She's already making great progress:
• Potty training — doing really well
• Crate training — settling in nicely
• Leash skills — impressive for a young dog
She'll blossom in a home that provides consistency, love, and positive reinforcement.

Vetting
Bugsy comes with a strong start to her health care:
• Up to date on vaccinations
• Dewormed
• Microchipped
• Spay scheduled when age appropriate (a spay deposit may be required)
