Bubba’s Journey: Love, Resilience, and Finding His Forever Home at Saved Dogs & Sane Chicks

A Year of Challenges and Joy

Bubba has been in our care for an entire year since we first found him at a construction site. He was discovered with a dangling black leg and a gunshot wound to his face so severe that it had pierced his tongue and caused a massive infection in his jaw. Despite these traumatic beginnings, Bubba’s spirit has always shone through – from that first moment we saw him and he came up wagging his tail. 

His time with us has been both rewarding and demanding, but through it all, he has remained a fighter. After several surgeries, medical care and physical therapy, behavior training, yummy food and LOVE, Bubba became the picture perfect companion animal. Watching the videos of him running and hopping – this dog that could barely walk just a year ago – gave so much joy to all of us. All he needed was a furever family to complete his journey. 

Unfortunately, though, this weekend Bubba started feeling poorly and needed to be rushed to the vet. After a long day and part of the night, we received some heartbreaking news. What we initially thought might be a swallowed toy eventually turned out to be tumors, a heavy burden for any animal to bear. Faced with this reality, we couldn’t bring ourselves to part ways with Bubba at the clinic. Instead, we made the choice to bring him back to the people who love him, ensuring that he would be spoiled until he tells us it’s time to go.
