Bubbles is a super friendly, goofy and happy Staffordshire Bull Terrier who’s currently living in a foster home in Stafford provided by the Senior Staffy Club. Bubbles is a sweetheart, despite all that he has been through. He is a gentle soul and loves people. He is a boy who deserves to have the best in life now, for which he will thank you with his affection and his big goofy smile. All this gives Bubbles his beautifully unique character.
Bubbles is 12 years old and he came into rescue from a dog pound. He had been removed from a home along with 4 other dogs. Bubbles had been kept in less than ideal conditions and when he arrived at the pound he had no fur on his back due to a severe flea allergy, weak back legs and was underweight.
Now safely in care, Bubbles will give you the goofiest, toothy smile as he comes towards you. He loves a squeaky toy and will carry it around with him; if he leaves it in the garden, he will pop back out to fetch it in. He can be left for a few hours and will just sleep in his basket whilst you are out. On a sunny day, he just loves to lay in the sun.
Bubbles loves you to throw a ball, although he doesn’t always bring it back. He is very inquisitive. His foster describes him as like a puppy; everything is new to him. He did initially have some accidents in the house, but these have now dwindled so he is improving though he may need a little more work and patience with this.
Apparently Bubbles lived with four other dogs previously and he has no problems passing dogs on walks or saying hello to them. He could therefore live with another calm, older one and, and as an older boy, he now deserves a quieter life. However, he would equally enjoy being an only dog where he can have all the attention. He shares his foster home with a cat and they are still getting to know one another and being introduced. His foster Mum feels that this would settle down fairly quickly, but slow introductions would be needed at first. Bubbles could live with children aged 8 years+. He is happy to be left for an hour or two and will settle in his bed.
Bubbles has a few health issues owing to his past treatment. He has wobbly back legs – the vet thinks there is spondylitis in his spine due to mistreatment and he also has some arthritis in his legs. He is now on painkillers (Paracetamol) for his arthritis. He will be neutered soon. He has no fur on the bottom half of his back due to a previous severe flea allergy which was left untreated. His ears are slightly thickened from untreated haematomas so his hearing may not be great. He has a few teeth missing and a broken tooth – he’s a bit like a well-worn teddy bear!
