Story
Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Bubba #5 finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails) . Bubba #5 | 1-Year-Old Belgian Malinois Mix | Playful, Energetic Best Friend Bubba is a 1-year-old, 40-pound Belgian Malinois mix with a sleek black coat and an upbeat, friendly personality. He’s an energetic young dog who loves being around people and other dogs. At the dog park he’s a total social butterfly, happily playing with dogs of all sizes and making friends wherever he goes. Bubba is nearly house trained and has made great progress since arriving in foster care. He had a few accidents during his first week while settling in, but he’s been doing very well since. On leash he walks fairly well, though he can pull when he gets excited about meeting people or other dogs. His enthusiasm comes from a friendly place—he just wants to say hello and make new friends. When left home alone for a few hours, Bubba does well in his crate. He may whine briefly at first but settles down quickly and is calm when his people return. He currently knows “sit” (especially when treats are involved) and is still working on his puppy manners, including remembering not to jump up when he’s excited. He responds well to structure and has settled nicely into his foster home’s routine. Bubba has also done well living with a cat, mostly showing mild curiosity before moving on. While he hasn’t met children yet, he’s been very friendly with all people he’s encountered. As a Belgian Malinois mix, Bubba is a smart, high-energy dog who will thrive with an experienced and active owner. This breed is known for its intelligence and work ethic, and Bubba will do best in a home that can provide plenty of daily physical exercise, consistent training, and mental stimulation. He enjoys being engaged and having structure, and he’ll flourish with someone who wants an active companion for walks, hikes, training, or other activities. With the right home that understands and embraces the needs of an active working breed, Bubba will make a loyal, fun-loving companion who’s always ready for the next adventure. If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you. The adoption fee for this pet is $400. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email dogs@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can't accept calls. PLEASE NOTE: The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter. Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets. Here is some interesting info on breed identification: https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/ Our adoption process is: 1. Fill out our Adoption Application online. We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet. 2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting. Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member! April 6, 2026, 3:13 pm
