June Bug

Pit Bull Mix

4 years, Female, Medium

🌟 Meet June Bug — the little fighter with a crooked smile and a heart full of love. 💛

June Bug’s journey is nothing short of incredible. She was rescued alongside her companion Benny from a heartbreaking case of neglect and abuse. When Good Samaritans found her, she was too weak to lift her head. Weighing only 20 pounds, she had painful pressure sores on her cheeks, hips, shoulders, and knees where bones pressed through her skin. She couldn't even shift positions.

Rushed to a veterinary clinic, June Bug immediately stole hearts. Despite her condition, her tail wagged and her sweet, crooked smile greeted everyone. The clinic staff wrapped her in warm sweaters and showered her with love — and she soaked it all in.

After two weeks of care, June Bug was strong enough to move to a foster home with Benny. And today? She’s a stunning 45-pound beauty with a smooth, shiny coat and a whole new outlook on life! 💫

🐶 About June Bug:

Playful, active, and full of life

LOVES tennis balls, car rides, and supervising from her foster mom’s office chair

Walks beautifully on leash

Enjoys chew toys, snuggles, and cozy blankets

June Bug is dog-friendly with slow introductions (especially due to her past), and she has no history of resource guarding with people — but she should be fed separately from other dogs. She hasn’t been cat-tested.

🏡 Her perfect home?

A loving family with a fenced yard where she can run freely and soak up the sunshine. She’d love a home that will continue to shower her with kindness and patience — and she’ll give that love back tenfold.

Her adorable underbite and crooked smile are just the icing on the cake. June Bug is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and ready to steal your heart. ❤️
