About Bubba
Hi! I’m Bubba and I’m looking for a new family to call my own.
Size: Extra Large
Weight: 59kg
APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR BUBBA
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/4cLFBVGF7yMLF3Ae7
NOTE: You are unable to meet Bubba until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Bubba in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.
What I need in my new home:
• BREED KNOWLEDGE IS PREFERRED
• I am VERY STRONG, I will need someone able to control me but also willing to train me to help this.
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• NO SMALL DOGS
• I like both friendly male and female dogs
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• Lots of love and attention
• No young children as when I'm excited I get very bouncy and mouthy, older children who will be involved with my training should be ok.
• I like both friendly male and female dogs however I can be full on in play, so another dog with the same energy as me is a must.
• Large breed experience is a MUST
• I have a high prey drive so I can't go to a home that already has cats, rabbits/guinea pigs or chickens/ducks as I will chase them
• SOCIALISATION is as important as training. Taking me to lots of different places, meeting lots of people (children, men, woman etc) and meeting lots of dogs and other animals will ensure I grow into a social and well adjusted dog.
• TRAINING TRAINING TRAINING. It's ESSENTIAL I receive training in all aspects of my life so I can be the best dog I can be when I'm older.
Things that I don’t want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
• Small children due to being mouthy & bouncy
• Cats, rabbits, guinea pigs & livestock
My best features:
• Very playful
• Highly food motivated
• I LOVE toys, playing fetch and a game of tug-o-war
• I love attention, hugs, kisses & head scratches
Where I need to improve / Training required
• I am VERY STRONG on lead and can be difficult to control, I will require training.
• I will require full basic training as I've had no training experience yet
• I love my food & toys so using them as a positive reward should make my training easier.
• I need further training on my recall as I can ignore you if you're trying to call me back to you
• I can be a bit bouncy -training should stop this
• I seem to be selective with what dogs I get along with here at the Shelter. I will require further socilisation.
IF YOU ARE INTERSTATE, YOU MUST BE WILLING TO TRAVEL TO THE SHELTER TO MEET IN PERSON.
