Meet Bugsy

Bugsy is an adorable 14 week old (as of 7/20/26) male baby who currently weighs in at approximately 13 pounds. We believe he will be around 30-35 pounds fully grown. Now the million dollar question - what on earth is he mixed with????!!! Honestly, we cannot say for sure, but current opinion is some sort of herdy farm dog, like a border collie, had a rendezvous' with possibly a whippet and then added a small dash of terrier - perhaps a Feist? It works for us - but if someone wants to do an Embark test on him, we are ALL IN! Bugsy is a sweetheart no matter what his genetics are! He came to us from the SPCA in Martinsville VA. When he came to them as a very young, very small boy, he was suffering from malnutrition and rickets. With their tender care, he recovered completely and is now the picture of health! This kid is social, happy, and just a darling. He loves his toys, his bed, and his people. He is brilliant and eager to learn - all he needs is the right family to help him along his journey. We think he would be fine with a canine companion, could absolutely learn to live in harmony with a dog savvy cat, and would be fine with respectful children. Like any puppy, Bugsy will need a family dedicated to making sure he grows to be an outstanding adult. Puppy classes, socialization, training at home - all part of the puppy process. Is it a lot of work? YES! Is it totally worth it? ONE HUNDRED TIMES YES! We want to see Bugsy paired up with someone who wants to do all the things with him. Take him out and about to see the world, train him and give him rules to help him feel secure and safe, plenty of attention to make him feel at home and loved. Bugsy will be ready for his forever home in a couple of weeks, once his quarantine is complete and he is neutered.
