Muggsy found his way into the rescue via a Good Samaritan who removed him from an unsafe situation. His Guardian Angel didn't have the time or resources to care for him so they asked us to help. Of course we said yes, that is what rescue is for! Muggsy Bogues would love to tell you all about himself.
Muggsy Bogues here, my foster mom lovingly refers to me as “Bogues” because I am small and mighty like Muggsy. Like him, I have a 44” vertical and need reminders to sit when I want pets. I am an extremely strong, active boy that could play ball all day. My high energy level requires a lot of nourishment, so my foster mom keeps a hefty supply of snacks on hand to motivate me! I am a coach’s dream because I am receptive of feedback and strive to do better. Even seasoned ballers need their rest; when I see the treat jar I sprint to my kennel. Balancing my career and social life can be challenging; but when in public I am humble and gracious towards my fans. I am looking for an active family that will be willing to work with me in developing my fundamental skills (foster mom calls these “manners”).
Muggsy is a young and healthy dog. He is up to date on his vaccinations and neutered. He is kennel trained and walks on a leash with a wee bit of pulling, but he's just so excited about life! He is looking for an active and loving family to call his own. If you think he's the one for you apply today!

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.
We will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top two applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks.
