• “Bugsy was adopted as a rescue in June 2022 and is loving his new forever home. While shy at first he is truly the most cuddly big baby.

Bugsy is dog avoidant and leash reactive so it’s best his playtime is without other dogs.“

I’m gentle, love to play with other dogs, swimming is my favorite (I can swim after sticks and balls in the water till I puke), finding sticks on hikes and anything else that pops up. I really behave myself bc it gets me to do cool things. Bye! 🐾🖤🤍🖤“
