About Bulba

Bulba is a striking Rat Terrier looking for a quieter, more devoted home to call his own. While he once thrived as the only 'child,' enjoying adventurous hikes and plenty of travel, his people’s busy household has left him feeling a little left out. Bulba still adores his young human siblings and is wonderfully gentle with kids he knows, but all the commotion lately has made him more anxious. At his core, he’s an affectionate, clever companion—he knows basic obedience plus a few party tricks like dancing, spinning, and even leaping through rings. Bulba’s house-trained, though sometimes he soils for attention when he feels overlooked. He’s wary of strangers and will bark or protest if approached too quickly, and he doesn’t get along with other dogs. Bulba needs a devoted family who can give him the love, engagement, and stability he misses. Give this handsome guy a soft landing for his golden years. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
