Canyon County Pet of the Week: Bubba

Bubba, 7, is a hound/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. He weighs 75.9 pounds and is house-trained. He knows the sit, lay down and fetch commands. Bubba is happy, friendly, playful and affectionate. He loves kids and loves to play in the water. He can be strong on a leash and would benefit from reinforcing his leash manners on walks. He reacts a bit to dogs outside, but does get along with some dogs (big dogs, not small dogs). He will need a cat-free home.

Bubba needs a securely fenced yard so he can run and play safely. The fence will need to be at least 6 feet tall. He will also enjoy coming indoors to snuggle with the family. Please bring all other household dogs in for a meet and greet prior to adoption. Bubba's adoption fee includes updated vaccinations, a micro-chip and neutering.

Bubba is in the dog adoption wing at West Valley Humane Society, 5801 Graye Lane in Caldwell. Learn about him and other adoptable pets at www.westvalleyhumanesociety.org.
