About Bubba

Bubba is the definition of a loyal companion. He craves human company more than anything—he just wants to hang out with you. Easygoing and responsive, Bubba fits smoothly into a home with a laid-back pace. Most of his day is about relaxing by your side or snoozing near your workspace. He might get a playful streak once or twice a day but is quickly content after a brief game of fetch. Bubba’s not a barker or a beggar, and he leaves your counters alone—even when you’re eating. He’s house-trained and already knows a few commands, with plenty of eagerness to learn more. Bubba came to the rescue after his previous owner became unable to care for him. He might need a few days to settle amid all the recent upheaval, but once he feels safe, he’ll be devoted. Though he can get along with mellow dogs and calm cats, he prefers pets that give him space. High-energy playmates can get on his nerves, so a home where he’s the only pet is ideal. Bubba’s happiest when he gets all the love and attention, which he’s ready to return tenfold.
