Life is like a box of treats—you never know what you’re gonna get… but with me, it’s loyalty, energy, and a whole lot of heart. I’m Bubba Gump, a 3 year old, 65 pound German Shepherd mix with a big personality and even bigger potential. I’ve spent my whole life on a chain, so the world is still new to me, but I’m ready to trade that old life in for belly rubs, training sessions, and a real home. I’m house-trained like a champ, crate trained, and I’m working hard on not pulling on the leash. I know basic commands like “sit” and “wait,” and I’m eager to learn more—especially if treats are involved. I’ve got a ton of energy, and I really need a dog-savvy family who understands that a guy like me needs structure, exercise, and patience. Once I’ve had my zoomies and time to play, I can settle down and relax like the best of ‘em. You see I have never really learned how to "dog". I’m not a fan of cats and might be too much for little kids since I could accidentally knock them over or help myself to their snacks . I’ll probably be shy or nervous in a new environment at first, but with time and love, I’ll blossom. If you're the kind of person who loves a project with a huge payoff, I’m your Bubba. I may be rough around the edges, but I’ve got all the makings of a loyal, loving best friend. All I need is a second chance. My adoption fee is $150 and includes my spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip!
