Meet the Lovable Bugsy- EP Animal Services Pet of the Week

We're teaming up with El Paso Animal Services to highlight some of the amazing dogs that they have available for adoption right now. El Paso Animal Services is working hard to try and make El Paso a "no-kill" community and to achieve this goal, they need more families to open their hearts and homes to homeless animals at the shelter.

Every week, we're going to highlight a different dog, cat, or other types of animal currently at Animal Services who is in need of a forever home, and let you know a little more about our furry friend. We'll include their age, sex, which their personality is like, and why they would be the perfect addition to your family. You can use their Animal ID number to then contact Animal Services to find out more information on how you can adopt.

At the bottom of this article, you'll find a gallery of more animals that are currently at El Paso Animal Services are in need of adoption.

This week's Animal of the Week is Bugsy. Bugsy sure loves to be a star—he’s gotten quite a bit of screen time in the time he’s been at the shelter, that he’s really getting used to all the fame—it sure would make transitioning to Instagram model status easy! It wouldn’t be a surprise if he became an influencer once he’s adopted. He’s no stranger to the spotlight and you can tell, he wants any and all attention to be on him in the form of pets, scratches and quality time together. Bugsy loves the pool and sunshine and his happy to spend warm days lounging outside with you.
