Bugsy
Age: 8 years
Size: 14 pounds
Breed: Dachshund
FOREVER FOSTER
Bugsy was left in a box at a landfill along the Texas/Mexico border. It was a miracle he and Bunny were saved. It didn't take long to realize they had both been abused. What did we expect considering how they were found? Bugsy's philosophy is to "get them before they get you." It has taken quite a bit of patience and several "come to Jesus" meetings with him, but he finally respects and trusts me enough that I don't worry about being bit. He is not a vicious dog, but because of his trust issues and reaction to strangers we cannot in good conscience adopt him out to anyone. It would be terrible for the adopter and even worse for Bugsy as it could mean euthanasia. For those reasons Bugsy is our other forever foster and will live out his life in our home. He didn't ask to be dealt such a rotten hand in the beginning of his life and it's sad that he's so scared of being hurt by people. If you would like to sponsor Bugsy's food or regular vet visits and dentals, please send us an email.
