DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Meet Buggar — your tiny, brave-hearted gentleman with a whole lot of love to give
Buggar is a small male Shih Tzu mix with a sweet soul and the biggest heart tucked into his little frame. Life in a shelter can be overwhelming for any dog, especially a smaller one like Buggar, but you'd never know it from the way he eagerly greets the world. Buggar is a polite and charming little man who loves soaking up attention and quietly wishes that someone would notice just how special he is.
Buggar is ready to blossom in a loving home with a soft bed, kind words, and a person to call his own. He's sure to become a loyal companion and is ready to fill your days with warmth and companionship. All he needs now is a chance—a forever home where he can finally feel safe, cherished, and loved. Apply today!

Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.

Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.

Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.
