This big boy is a sweetheart that we have named Bubba, because he is a big, lovable, goofy 'Bubba' kind of boy...

German Shepherd Rescue received a call from a local animal shelter about a very special dog who was out of time.  In fact, he was actually about to get the "go to sleep" needle when a shelter worker watched him wag his tail and kiss the hand of his about-to-be- executioner.  At that point, we got a call from the shelter begging us to save this sweet and loving boy.

Our volunteer dropped everything and was on her way...  When she arrived at the shelter, she found one of the most loving and well tempered dogs she had ever seen.  When she approached the cage where he was waiting with two other male dogs, it became evident that he is a total sweetie-pie!!!  This big burly German Shepherd is a big love bug.  Most times, dogs in the shelter will try to block the other dogs from the person visiting.  Bubba was running and nudging his roommates as if the say "Come on, she's looking at us!!!  Get up here and smile".  He's such a good natured boy.

Bubba is a VERY impressive boy.  He is HUGE!!!  When going for a walk, people step off the curb to go around him.  What they don't understand is Bubba is a TOTAL LOVER BOY!!!  He will be about 120 pounds when he gains some much needed weight.  While he will protect his people, he has an excellent temperament.  He is good with other dogs and ADORES people of all sizes.  He made fast friends with two boys, ages 4 and 6.  Bubba will make some family very happy.

Bubba is approximately 18 to 24 months old.  He is HUGE so we thought he was a little older.  After being examined by our Vet, we discovered he is younger than we thought.  Poor Bubba was most likely kept chained in a filthy yard, because part of his ears have been eaten away by flies.  Whatever pain and neglect he has suffered at the hands of humans has not damped his spirit or his love for people.  He loves to give you his paw and he's also a "talker".  He will take a much coveted treat from you as gentle as a lamb.

Bubba is a perfect gentleman on leash and keeps a close eye on his people.  He greets everyone (human and fur-friends) with a wag of his tail and a friendly kiss.  Bubba is good with kids, dogs (both large and small), and with his gentle disposition we think he would also be just fine with cats.  If you are looking for an all-around wonderful boy, Bubba's the one!!!
