My name is Bug, and I am almost eleven years old. I was rescued almost seven years ago from a high kill shelter in Texas. My current human took one look at my tick covered ears, mange filled face, sad eyes, and fell head over heels in love with me. The transportation to Pennsylvania was scary, but when I saw my new family, I loved them right back. When they brought me into my new home, I had a brother and a sister, and then eventually a second brother. My humans love me so much, but told me they have to do what is best for me. As I have gotten older, I have become a bit cranky and sometimes I snap at my siblings. Sometimes this snapping leads to a fight between me and my siblings and my humans told me they have to do what they can to protect me, even if that means finding me a new home. When I get to my new home, I need to be an only pet. While I am a mixed breed (my humans call me a something mix) I think I have part hunting dog in me, which means I love to try to chase down birds. I don’t know if I would be good with a cat because I have never been near them, and it would be better to keep me away from them just in case. Every day, my human gives me a pill to take, then a whole lot of love. I was told it is a thyroid pill, but I am not sure what that means. All I know is since I started taking it, I have lost a lot of weight and have felt loads better! I also get a special type of dog food, and it makes all of my siblings jealous! A little while ago I had to pee all the time and we found out it was because I had bladder stones. So now I get to eat this special dog food forever because it made the bladder stones completely disappear. Since I have to go to a new home, my humans asked me to come up with a list of requirements! It took me some time to figure out exactly what I want, but I think I figured it out! I want cuddles and kisses every day, and to be told how beautiful I am. I promise once I get to know you, in exchange I will wiggle my butt at you every day and make sure you know how much I love you. Sometimes, if I don’t think you are giving me enough attention, I will nuzzle into you. Make sure you pet me a whole bunch if I do. I love belly rubs, and I have no problems rolling over and offering my belly up to you for pets! While I don’t need a fenced in yard, if I don’t have one, I will need to go on a lead to be outside. If it is a warm day, I would love to sit outside and just look around. I really love to do this when my human has to get back to work, because it means she has to spend more time with me outside, and then I get to sit and snuggle up next to her while we watch the birds. I love to be brushed, and I think I like to go on walks. I don’t go on very many right now because cars scare me. I’m also not super fond of car rides, though I might be willing to give them a chance as long as you protect me. I know I am an older dog with a few problems, but I promise I will love you and snuggle up next to you whenever I can. I am a potty-trained dog who doesn’t get into things, and I will be so excited to see you every time you come home. And if it is raining outside, I can impress you with how long I can hold my bladder because I hate peeing in the rain! While I do not currently sleep in a crate, I am somewhat crate trained and could probably be convinced to sleep in there at night if that is what you need me to do. I promise I am a really happy dog and I need to go somewhere that is safe for me, so my siblings are safe and my current humans don’t have to worry about me.
