Story
Bubba is a Courtesy Listing and is not housed at the Animal Shelter. Please note that the City of Bloomington Animal Care & Control accepts no responsibility for this pet. Potential adopters are responsible for communicating directly with the pet's guardian.Bubba is a 4-year-old German Shepherd/rot/pit mix. He is a very sweet and affectionate dog who loves attention, cuddles, and playtime. He’s house-trained and has done very well with kids, other dogs, and other animals. Bubba is energetic and expressive, and he loves having space to run around. He would do best in a stable home that can give him plenty of activity and engagement. A fenced yard would be absolutely needed since he really enjoys being outside and burning off energy. He does have some anxiety and is a high-energy dog, so he will need an owner who can provide structure, time, and consistency. Bubba is very people-oriented and affectionate. He is not a guard dog and would do best in a home looking for a companion rather than a protection animal. Interested adopters should be prepared to provide routine veterinary care. I will also ask a few questions about the home environment to make sure it’s a good fit. Bubba will not be rehomed to anyone under 18 and will not be adopted as a surprise gift to someone else. If you would like to inquire into adopting this pet, PLEASE CALL or TEXT (812) 545-1491***Please contact the owner directly***

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I have two dogs, Delta and Vinny, would like to rehome them together as they've been together for 8+ years. These were my wife's dogs and she passed away last month. Delta is a German Shepherd. She is a very smart & healthy 10 year old. She is very friendly and loves people, very protective around children. Will be protective of whomever she becomes attached to but only if she thinks that person is being threatened. She has had obedience training and understands German commands. Delta is good on a leash. She minds very well but does better with a more dominant handler. Delta & Vinny have been country dogs for the for the last 8+ years.
