Welcome to Rescues That Rock! In partnership with CARE Animal Rescue and Q92.9, Springfield’s Rock Station, we’re on a mission to help find forever homes for some amazing dogs who truly “rock!” Each week, we’ll feature a special dog available for adoption right here on our website and across our social media channels.

Even if adoption isn’t an option right now, you can still help us make a difference. By sharing these profiles on your social media pages, you’re spreading the word and helping these wonderful dogs get noticed—and closer to finding their perfect family. Together, let’s help these dogs find the loving homes they deserve!

Thanks to our Rescues That Rock sponsor, The Barker Shoppe!

This handsome guy is Buggie, an affectionate and lovable 2.9-year-old Hound mix. Buggie is a total sweetheart with a heart full of love who adores spending time with his people and is happiest when he’s soaking up affection or trotting along on a nice leash walk. True to his hound roots, Buggie enjoys exploring the world nose-first, making walks one of his favorite activities.

He has a gentle, friendly nature and would make a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys daily strolls and quality time with their dog. Whether he’s out enjoying a walk or relaxing after some exercise, Buggie’s calm, loving presence makes him a joy to be around.

If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate walking buddy who will be devoted to you, Buggie could be the perfect addition to your family. Come meet him and let him steal your heart!
