About Bubba

Bubba is searching for a family who will give him the time, space, and patience he needs to adjust to a world that’s still pretty new to him. He’s a medium-sized, mixed-breed Terrier puppy who came into rescue without any positive human interactions, and he’s learning to trust at his own slow pace. Bubba still struggles with confidence around people, sometimes snapping when frightened, which is why a home without kids is best for him. He’s making great progress with crate training and has pee pad training down, and is just starting to get the hang of going to the bathroom outside. Put Bubba in the company of other dogs and his true puppy side shines through—he lights up, plays, and gains confidence from dogs around him. If you’ve got a calm home and a confident dog to show him the ropes, Bubba could be your best project and companion. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
