What Your Support Enables

Because every life—from tiny to senior—deserves a little love.

Lovebugs Rescue is an all-breed, all age dog rescue. We are dedicated to saving dogs from overcrowded shelters, abuse, and medical neglect. With a growing team of passionate volunteers, we welcome every dog we can.

We have several fosters that specialize in different groups—from pregnant mothers and orphaned newborns to seniors who simply need comfort and care.

Lovebugs believes that rescue is more than saving lives—it’s about rebuilding trust, restoring health, and reminding every dog that they are worthy of love. Our foster network provides each dog with warmth, safety, and socialization until they’re ready to meet their forever families. We will continue our outreach through regular fundraising and adoption events with our hard working volunteers and foster families.

Rescues are a promise: to heal, to protect, and to love again.

Your kindness can turn fear into love—and love into home.

Every day, dogs face heartbreaking odds—abandoned, neglected, or left on euthanasia lists simply because shelters are full. Many are frightened, sick, or too young to survive alone. But when you give, you become the difference between a life lost and a life transformed.

Lovebugs Rescue sees beyond the dog’s scars. They see the wag of a tail waiting to return, the gentle trust rebuilding behind timid eyes. With your help, Lovebugs provides life-saving medical care, foster homes filled with warmth, and a second chance for those who were once forgotten.

When you choose to give, you’re not just rescuing an animal— you’re giving them a name, a heartbeat of safety, and a story that ends in love. Help a Lovebug find their happy ending today.

A happy new family

Our Spotlight Adoption

I'm Goldie

I was adopted in May, 2026 after a big surgery and a lot of love!

The story of Tucker

 

Tucker was turned into the South LA City shelter in August 2025 with a horrible front leg injury. We many times don’t get the back story on what happened with shelter drop offs. It appears he may have been hit by a car to sustain an injury at this level. The shelter in turn reached out to their rescue community hoping for help. Thankfully one of our amazing foster homes saw his story and we said YES! Tucker has been recovering in his foster home and has been such a good boy. You can usually find him sleeping or playing with his stuffed chicken.

I started fostering for this rescue earlier this year and they are amazing. Great communication, they keep the fosters involved in the adoption process and even work with me to find dogs that will fit well with the other pets in my home. I have been fostering for years with other rescues and this is not always the case. So glad I found them!

New house? Time to get a dog! Lovebugs rescue made it so simple to find the newest addition to our family! We met Sunny within 48 hours of applying and fell in love right away. Kelly and Tiffani were super kind and helpful throughout the adoption process and now Sunny is a part of her forever home! We highly recommend this Rescue if you're ever looking for a new addition to the family!

We had an amazing experience adopting our baby Kona from Lovebugs Rescue. They communicated clearly and efficiently. Price was less or comparable to other adoption agencies.
They were responsive from day 1 and made the adoption process easy and enjoyable. They were so amazing throughout the whole process, if you're looking for a pup and need a good recommendation they are the best option in my opinion.

What they say

We know they can’t talk, but if they could… what would they say?

Every rescued dog carries a story that almost ended too soon.
Your donation helps rewrite those stories.
Even in the toughest situation, your love can rewrite the ending.
