Bubba

Bubba is a joyful, affectionate lovebug who thrives on being close to his people-if there's a lap nearby, he'll happily curl up in it! He's an expert cuddler and will gladly be your snuggle buddy, even acting as the sweetest and snuggliest "big spoon" when given the opportunity.<br/><br/>In foster care, Bubba has been settling nicely into a routine and continues to make great progress. He's house trained, crate trained (often putting himself to bed for naps), and very food-motivated-he'll happily sit for a treat and enjoys puzzle toys like a Kong Wobbler to keep his mind busy. He's also been working on his leash manners and is responding well to gentle guidance and positive reinforcement.<br/><br/>Bubba has a playful, goofy personality that will keep you smiling, and also has an adorable habit of checking in with his people when he needs a little help. Like when his toy gets stuck, which just shows how much he trusts and bonds with his humans. He can be a little enthusiastic when greeting new friends and may feel a bit nervous when left alone at times, but he's already making lots of improvement and just needs a patient, loving home to continue building his confidence.<br/><br/>Since arriving at PAWS, Bubba was diagnosed with congenital heart defects. He currently has no signs of heart failure and remains bright and happy, though his condition may impact his long-term prognosis. His future family will need to monitor his breathing, avoid intense exercise, and continue his special diet.<br/><br/>Bubba's fosters say it best, "He's the most adorable friend ever. Always happiest when all of his humans are in one room together. He is really just a very happy boy who is always excited to spend time with you!"<br/><br/>If you're open to giving a sweet, funny, and deeply affectionate dog the home he deserves, Bubba would be so lucky to meet you!
