The Pet Rescue Center's youngest rescue, Bugsy, was a big hit on Sunday afternoon at Laguna's 17th Annual Pet Parade and Chili Cook-Off. Bugsy was the main attraction in the Pooch Smooch Kissing Booth and got a lot of action.
Bugsy was rescued from Orange County Animal Care on July 15 by The Pet Rescue Center. He was just a few months old and had been surrendered to the shelter by his owners. Bugsy is a sweet boy, loves to play with other dogs (both big and small), and is a great kisser!
The Pet Rescue Center, located inside Alicia Pet Care Center in Mission Viejo, is a 501c3 non-profit organization that rescues, rehabilitates, and re-homes pets saved from euthanasia at high-kill shelters and other at-risk situations. These pets are provided with a veterinarian-supervised, temporary sanctuary, while The Pet Rescue Center works to find an adopting family for them. They have successfully saved and adopted out more than 650 dogs and cats in the past five years. To view their adoptable cats and dogs, to volunteer, or to make a donation, please visit them online at www.thepetrescuecenter.org or call 877.277.7938. You can also "like" and follow them on Facebook.
All interested parties must fill out an Adoption Application, which will be reviewed to find the best possible match for the pet and for the interested family. Pets are visited by appointment only, but times are flexible. Please email Casey Oliver, Director of Operations, at The Pet Rescue Center, at adopt@thepetrescuecenter.org to arrange a meeting time. The adoption fee is $300 for dogs and $150 for cats, and includes spay/neuter, microchip, flea treatment, deworming, regular veterinary check-ups, and current vaccinations. This fee helps to defray the costs of medical care, supplies, and boarding while the animals are in their care.
