About Bugsy
đź’™ Meet Bugsy
Those beautiful, soulful eyes tell a story!!
​
Bugsy is the sweetest little Collie Cross who wants to know where he belongs. Sadly, he's spent much of his life being passed from home to home, never really having the chance to settle and feel truly safe.
Now it's our turn to change that.
​Our wish is to find Bugsy the forever family he has always deserved—a home where he will never have to wonder where he's sleeping next.
​Bugsy is a gentle, affectionate boy with lovely manners. He walks beautifully on lead, has good recall, knows how to sit, and absolutely loves being with his people.
​Because of everything he's been through, Bugsy does experience separation anxiety. We know this can improve with patience, routine, and love, and we're committed to helping his new family through that journey.
​He would thrive in a home where someone works from home or is around for much of the day. We also think he'd really enjoy having another friendly dog to keep him company, although this isn't essential if his family can provide plenty of time, companionship and regular exercise.
​Bugsy is a little underweight at the moment, but we'll soon have him looking and feeling his very best.
More than anything, we want this beautiful boy to finally know what it feels like to be truly loved—not for a little while, but for the rest of his life.
​If you think Bugsy could be the missing piece in your family, we'd love to hear from you.
