Ongoing Support for Your Stink Bug Dog
Congratulations on bringing home your Stink Bug dog—and welcome to a new chapter in your and your child’s lives!
As with any pets, Stink Bug dogs have ongoing needs, from vet appointments and licensing to boarding and walking. That’s where our Stink Bug Flex Fund comes in. Thanks to a grant from a generous donor, we can help with up to $750 towards your Stink Bug dog’s essential needs. We hope they will continue bringing your family joy and comfort for many years to come, and we want to support that however we can.
