Bubba is a five-year-old mix of Pit Bull Terrier and Border Collie who is looking for a dedicated home. This gentle giant weighs 44.4 pounds and comes with a distinct personality: he actually prefers the company of cats over fellow dogs. Initially, he may be a bit anxious due to his previous experience of losing his home, but he bonds quickly, loving to climb into laps for snuggles. He does have some stranger danger tendencies and may feel uncomfortable around new visitors, especially men. Patience and understanding are key here, as he thrives in a calm environment with a handler who's respectful of his boundaries. Bubba can be selective when it comes to friendships, often warming up faster to women. He’s known to resource guard, particularly during mealtime or while playing with toys, so a controlled introduction to any other pets is essential. Keeping him safe when guests arrive is crucial, as he may feel overwhelmed; crating or separating him during these times is recommended. If you're searching for a loyal shadow who will stick by your side once he trusts you, Bubba might just be the dog for you. Available for adoption only through Pima Animal Care Center. Interested adopters should visit PACC before the COB Tuesday, August 25th, 2026, to meet with a counselor who can help ensure the perfect match.
