From Foster:
Bubba is very handsome and a smart boy who learned Sit, Down, Crate and Paw quickly, still working on No and Leave It. Bubba will go in his crate for treats or stuffed Kong but doesn’t like to stay for long periods. Bubba’s foster mom is working at redirecting him from chewing on inappropriate items to his squeaky toys and chews. Bubba will need a family that will be committed to continue his training to help him excel in his new environment.
Bubba walks very well on leash. He walks past other dogs without issue and does not respond to the barking dog on the other side of the fence. Bubba is friendly and polite when greeting people and dogs, he will approach slowly at first. Bubba is affectionate and enjoys pets, belly rubs and laying on the couch beside his person. He sleeps in his bed or on the couch. Bubba is a wonderful boy who will make a great addition to any family.

From Bubba:
My foster mom says I’m a beautiful boy that needs continued training with my manners. I am a good boy that was not taught what I can’t chew, and I sometimes jump and mouth when I get excited and want to play. I LOVE treats and have learned so much already.
A new home can be scary, so sometimes I get anxious and pace and may chew the wrong thing. Please be patient, I’m young and still learning. I go on 2-3 walks a day and run really fast in the backyard. I love training throughout the day and get yummy treats. I go on longer walks now but I don’t like busy streets and sudden noises can startle me. I can heel, but really like to stop and sniff and find out what dogs have visited the neighbourhood watering holes. I’m so grateful to lay on the couch and get cuddles and pets from my foster mom. I want to be the best boy ever. If you have lots of treats and continue with my training then I know we can be so happy together.
