Bubba
Bubba was seriously injured in an accident in late December so will not be available for
adoption until he has recovered. Click here for updates on his condition.
My name is Bubba. My foster mom says that I am the most laid back and
handsome Shar Pei that she‘s ever seen!!
I get along great with dogs and would love to have other dogs to play with! My best friend right now is Rosie, who is
also a Shar Pei. My other friends are three little kids. They do silly things to me sometimes, and they also
like to chase me around the house. I like them a lot.
I am house trained and very eager to please. My foster mom will leave me loose in the house
when she leaves; I have always been a good dog…I just wait by the door, patiently, until she returns.
I enjoy leaning on people like a cat and
being scratched. Other things I enjoy: walks, car rides, treats, treats, and more treats. Oh, did I mention treats?
Please visit the adoption page for more pictures and information about me.
If you would like to adopt a sweet, handsome guy like me, please fill out an application
and ask for Bubba.
