Bug-Kitchener

My story

Bug is a loveable girl who believes there`s no such thing as too many scratches or pets. She`s endlessly affectionate, always ready to lean in for cuddles or flop over for belly rubs. Don`t let the sweetness fool you though, this smart girl knows a handful of fun commands and loves showing them off for attention (and maybe a treat or two). Equal parts snuggle bug and clever pup, Bug brings joy wherever she goes!**This dog’s adoption fee has been reduced to help them find their forever home!
