JUNE BUG - I’VE BEEN ADOPTED!!!
I’m the featured fluff of the week again!! That’s a good thing! AND there’s good news about me that we wanted to share. My allergies are so much better and I now look GREAT and feel GREAT! I would really like a forever family of my own!
My name is June Bug and I am one lucky little lady. I am a beige and white Shih Tzu mix and am about 1 year old. I am a very petite little girl. I only weigh about 7 pounds. I was found as a stray in June of 2007 (that’s one of the reasons my name is June Bug) and I had no hair when I came into foster care. I have a serious skin condition and when I was found I was at my worst. Luckily, the WONDERFUL Lone Star volunteers have been helping me and you can see by my picture that I now have HAIR and……………………I’m as cute as a bug!!! That’s the second reason my name is June Bug!!!
My hair is growing out nicely now and I’m just about to need a real hair cut! It turns out that I have a skin condition due to allergies that is very severe and it causes me to lose my hair and break out in a rash when I’m not on medication. My foster mom and the other volunteers have tried lots of things to help me and they have finally found something that has cleared up my outbreaks. My life is now normal and I am a VERY happy-go-lucky little lady who loves to play! No more itching and scratching! I can play to my hearts’ content!
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a very sweet girl who has lots of years of love to give. My favorite thing would be to find a forever family with a lot of laps for me to lounge in. I love to cuddle and get pets while I am curled up in my foster mom’s lap! I would really prefer to go to a home with another young dog for me to play with. I am very good with other dogs and I love to play with my foster brothers and sisters. BUT, if one of them gets my favorite squeaky ball – watch out! I will get it back and squeak that ball and carry it all day long!!! It is definitely my favorite toy. I like to play fetch with it, too.
I don’t bark very much, but when I do you know it is me because my bark is quite high pitched. My foster mom finds it rather cute so she will get me to howl sometimes to show her friends how special I am. I am also learning house-breaking and my foster mom says that I am just about there.
I am truly a special little fluff who needs a forever family who will love me, take care of me, and understand my special needs. I will need someone who is willing to take care of me medically for the rest of my life. The medicine that I take needs to be given to me on a regular basis. Also, my medicine may need to be adjusted over time, and could possibly stop working at some point. It is also possible that I may outgrow my allergies and not need medicine at all! That would be WAY COOL! My forever family needs to understand that I may need frequent veterinarian visits. That’s a lot to ask for in a family, but I will tell you now that I am worth it. I promise to love you in return and sit on your lap as long as you want me to.
If you think that I could fit into your life, please contact my foster mom at sherry352@sbcglobal.net. She will tell you all about me. Also, please look at my Petfinder page for even more information. My foster mom says that it will be hard to let me go, but she knows the best thing for me is my own forever family.
I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots, and am heartworm negative.
