About Bubba

Bubba is a true survivor and a loyal companion with a big, lovable presence. Weighing in at 82 pounds, Bubba’s a five-year-old Rottweiler mix with a soft spot for belly rubs, snuggles, and quiet time at home. He’s worked through more than his share of challenges—found abandoned, treated for heartworms, and now healthy and ready for a stable, loving family. Bubba melts for kids and is fine sharing his space with female dogs. He’s house-trained, trustworthy when left alone, and easy on a leash. Cats, though, catch a bit too much of his attention, so a cat-free home is best. He’s the kind of dog who appreciates a good dog park visit but is just as comfortable in an apartment or a home with a secure yard. Bubba already knows some basic commands and has proven himself calm, affectionate, and eager to please. Every bit the resilient, gentle soul, Bubba is searching for someone equally devoted to making him part of the family. Click apply to start the adoption process.
