As hard as this is to do I want to see him taking care of hes a sweet boy just has a lot of anxiety and Im sure this isnt going to help. Im lost as what to do I have asked all my friends and family if they could keep him temporarily until I can get back on my feet. I have one who might be able to but I need to get this figured out as we only have to be out of where were staying by Saturday. I feel overwhelmed just thinking about it.

Story
Meet Bubba, a young, sweet, and energetic dog who loves to play and enjoys the company of people. Bubba was a stray, found on a dirt road in south Mississippi. Poor Bubba had a skin infection on intake and needed our help! After weekly baths and plenty of hugs and kisses, Bubba is now ready to find his forever home. His lively spirit and affectionate nature make him a delightful companion. While he's generally easygoing, Bubba does have a protective streak when it comes to his food, so he might do best in a home where his meals can be enjoyed without interruption. Bubba is looking for a loving home where he can thrive and share his boundless energy and joy. He would be a wonderful addition to any family seeking a loyal and spirited friend.

Story
Hi! My name is Victor! The shelter is my current home, but I'm looking for something a little more permanent. I've grown up here and even though I am comfortable with my shelter family, I may be a little shy with new people. After a few days to get used to my new surroundings, I'll blossom into the fun loving dog I am. I like to run and play with my siblings and I always like to greet you with a smile. If you are interested in opening up your heart and home to a shelter dog in need, I could be the one!
