Bubba's Story

Hi there! My name is Bubba, and I am a handsome 4-year-old Great Pyrenees mix weighing just over 100 pounds. I could stand to gain a few more pounds, but otherwise I'm doing great!<br/><br/>My past is a little sad, but those days are behind me now. I am safe, loved, and very happy in the care of GRCGLA Rescue. I was found as a stray with a prong collar embedded in my neck. Thankfully, the wonderful people at the shelter took excellent care of me and helped me begin my journey to recovery before I made my way to rescue.<br/><br/>Despite everything I've been through, I have remained a gentle giant with a heart full of love. Dr. Snyder, who is quite fond of me, describes me as incredibly sweet. I am truly a hunk in the most magnificent way, and people often stop to admire me and comment on how handsome I am.<br/><br/>I absolutely love being with people. In fact, if you stop petting me before I'm ready, I'll gently use my famous "bossy paw" to remind you that more affection is required! I thrive on attention and enjoy spending time with my favorite humans.<br/><br/>I also get along wonderfully with other dogs, especially little ones. I've played with dogs of all shapes and sizes and have become especially good friends with Patches, who is also waiting for her forever home.<br/><br/>Like many dogs who have had a difficult past, I had a few things to learn. Cars used to be a little scary for me, but I'm gaining confidence every day. Recently, I surprised everyone by hopping right into the back seat of a Tesla and going for a cruise. It turns out I actually enjoyed it!<br/><br/>Taking me for a walk is a pleasure. I have lovely leash manners, enjoy long walks, and am easy to handle despite my size. One of the volunteers who spends time with me is a professional dog trainer, and I've been lucky enough to work with him. He describes me as a very chill, easygoing dog and would even love to meet my future family to help make my transition into a new home as smooth as possible. What an incredible gift for both me and my adopters!<br/><br/>Most of all, I'm looking for a family who will love me, cherish me, and make sure I never experience hardship again. In return, I promise to be a loyal, devoted companion who will shower you with affection, offer plenty of gentle giant snuggles, and remind you every day what a special dog I am.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a sweet, handsome, easygoing best friend with a heart as big as his paws, I just might be your guy.<br/><br/>Love, Bubba <br/><br/>GRCGLARescue adopts within the counties of Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego. Because we do require pre-adoption screening and post-adoption follow-up, we cannot support adoptions outside of this service area. <br/><br/>If you have a current application on file and would like to inquire about this dog, please email adoptions@grcglarescue.org. Otherwise, please make sure to complete the online adopter application found at http://www.grcglarescue.org/adopt before sending your inquiry.

Golden Retriever Club of Greater Los Angeles Rescue's Adoption Policy
Thank you for your interest and caring to adopt! The first step in the adoption process is to complete the online adoption application (link below). The next step is the in-home visit. GRCGLARescue does require a $25 donation to schedule this visit. This non-refundable donation helps to offset the costs associated with making our dogs ready to meet adopters, including providing veterinary care, boarding, and other needs. After your application is received, one of our volunteers will contact you. It may take 7-10 days to be contacted, as we receive many applications and volunteers are spread across many duties. The volunteer will schedule a home visit with you. Before submitting your application, please know that our current inventory of dogs is low and the level of applications continues at robust levels. Thus, it may take substantially longer to find a dog that matches the dog’s needs and your interests. The application and home visit are held open for 2 years. Please carefully review this eligibility information prior to submitting your adoption application: GRCGLARescue does not adopt dogs to homes with children under 7 years old unless we know that a particular dog has a solid, positive history living successfully with kids of a similar age to those in the potential adopter's home. As a rescue we receive very few dogs that meet this criterion. Finding a dog who is going to be safe with your kids will likely make your adoption process longer. This policy is for the safety and well-being of your families and our dogs. If you're patient and have realistic expectations about adoption, we'll be very happy to work with you. GRCGLARescue adopts within the counties of Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego. Because we do require pre-adoption screening and post-adoption follow-up, we cannot support adoptions outside of this service area. If you have any question about whether your city is part of our service area, please email us at info@grcglarescue.org GRCGLARescue cannot adopt dogs into homes where the number of pets currently meets or exceeds the limits set by your local municipal authority (city or county) or your HOA. If you’re not sure about the limits in your area, please contact your city hall, animal control authority and/or HOA to get that information. GRCGLA Rescue cannot adopt dogs to homes that have an invisible/electric fence as a source of containment. GRCGLARescue does not adopt dogs to rental applicants without written proof that the landlord will permit a dog the size of a Golden Retriever in their rental abode. This proof can be a copy of the lease having a clause allowing such a dog, or a separate written document of landlord approval and must be provided to one of our volunteers prior to a home visit being scheduled. Verbal assurances or “contingent” clauses requiring the identification of a specific dog prior to the landlord granting approval are not accepted. Additionally, we will require written proof of any additional pet security deposit required by the landlord being paid. GRCGLARescue does not guarantee that every prospective adopter/applicant will adopt a dog from us. Our goal is to find each of our dogs the best matched home, and we cannot provide any assurance to prospective adopters that we’ll be able to make a placement with them. Unfortunately, most applicants will not get a dog from us. The more flexible you are about your ideal dog the better your chances become. We recognize that you may be working with other rescues, as well as breeders, and visiting animal shelters too. No dogs can be certified as “service” or “comfort” by GRCGLARescue. All dogs are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and vet-checked prior to adoption. Adoption fee (effective April, 2025): Under 1 year $900 1-4 years $800 5-7 years $600 8-9 years $500 10+ years $300 https://www.cognitoforms.com/GRCGLARescue/AdoptionApplication
