About Bubba

Pit Bull mix
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

Bubba the 9 year old neutered male pit bull mix. He was found 7 weeks ago at the FEDEX compound in Ocala. He is chipped and after a lot of searching his original owner from Arizona was located. Unfortunately, the family rehomed Bubba about a year ago after he had a stroke and decided it was no longer fun to have little kids being rough with him. He never bit but was obviously annoyed by their actions so the owner did what he thought was best and rehomed Bubba. Sadly that home has obviously fallen through as Bubba was found roaming and the new owners have not looked for him. They have not registered him with the shelter, they have not made any posts, they have not called the original owner or taken any other steps to find Bubba. Bubba is an older boy who just needs a couch to chill. We thought we had found him that couch and a sister to boot. Unfortunately he will not be able to remain in this home as he suffers from severe separation anxiety. He broke out of her 6 foot privacy fence several times. He is once again on the hunt for a great furever home! He needs someone who is home most of the time or at the very least well versed in dealing with his anxiety issues. Small children may not be a great idea but older children would be a bonus as Bubba loves to play! He is a great loveable dog in every other way. Here's the revised version of what we know about Bubba�'�|�'�|�'�| 1. He is 68 pounds of muscle fur and love! 2. He has his current rabies vaccine and is heartworm negative 3. He is housebroken and knows how to use a doggie door 4. He loves to play with toys. Playing ball is his favorite thing to do. However his favorite part of the game is keep away 5. He has ZERO aggression in him! I have had him face to face with horses chickens small dogs big dogs and humans with no reactions. 6. He was covered in fleas when he arrived which resulted in a bad skin inflammation. It is completely cleared up and controlled with a good diet no medications necessary. 7. He reportedly had a stroke about a year ago and does have some facial disfigurement to support this claim. 8. He is very nervous/anxious in new situations. His whole body turns red at the vets office most likely due to an increase in blood pressure. He has NEVER reacted with any aggression he just shakes with nerves. 9. With new people he is Shy at first then very friendly after a few minutes to warm up. 10. He has severe separation anxiety�'�| He has busted out of fences crates and tried to escae the door looking for his people. We are working on this and He is getting better. We have reinforced the crate that he loves when we are home as we often find him chilling in it with the door open. He is still not happy when we leave but he is getting better. If you are interested in this loveable lug or have any further questions please contact me. Thanks
