Hey Folks.....

I need to find a new foster home!!! =(

Foster Mommy is going away and then has family coming in so I'd have to be in the kennel (where I am now) for a few more weeks. It's in my best interest to be in a foster home so I can get to hydrotherapy 1-2x a week in Cherry Hill, which the rescue pays for. 
If anyone can foster me I would be forever grateful. 
I am GREAT with all people, even kids & babies, dogs, cats, bunnies and I am housebroken. 

Please contact the rescue at alltheyneedislove@yahoo.com


Thanks xo

I'm baaaaaack!!!

So Foster Mommy came and got me from the kennel today :-) She took me right over to PetPT for my 2nd hydrotherapy appointment and I did great. I had fun in the pool with Beth, who says I am very, very strong...
When we got in the car I fell right to sleep, but once we got home and I saw Savannah & Bianca, I woke right up and we played for about an hour. Then I went to sleep again when Foster Mommy left with Savvy for a while.
I am very happy to be back at my foster home. I missed them while they were gone. Foster Mommy is going away again next week but I'm gonna have fun while she is home.
Last weekend I got some pictures taken of me by the uber talented Valerie Bruder and they came out so fantastic! They are at the bottom of the blog post.
Savannah wasn't really in the mood for photos but I was :-)
Foster Mommy says I am so beautiful that the right people will come along for me soon...she is in no rush because they really HAVE to be the RIGHT person/people. She wants me to be perfectly happy in my absolutely FOREVER home. They have to love me exactly the way I am, limp and all. She says it doesn't slow me down at all and it just adds character to my already perfect personality....

Bubba's Information

While I am away from my Foster Mommy and she is away from the blog I figured it may just be a good idea to post some information about me for anyone new reading up...

Bubba by Valerie Bruder

I am a Boxer/Pit mix.  I am a light brindle and have beautiful light brown eyes. In one word Foster Mommy says I am AWESOME.
I am approx 1.5 - 2 yrs old, neutered, up to date on all of my shots and microchipped.
I am dog, bunny & cat friendly, men, women & children friendly, I'm even good with babies!! I walked up to a stroller when I first got out of jail, and I licked his feet and he laughed!
I am super affectionate and I like to carry my own leash. I am crate trained & very house broken!!

I limp on my front right leg which the orthopedic veterinarian thinks it's probably an old elbow break that didn't heal properly, so it's turned into a form of "elbow dysplaysia". He does NOT recommend any surgery just some hydrotherapy (pool). I've also seen another vet who as well, does NOT recommend surgery. I'm always going to limp, but my Foster Mommy says it just adds character and she loves me just the way I am. She said whoever adopts me will have to love me just the way I am too. Because trust me, it does NOT slow me down any!! I play with my Foster Sister all over the place. We run around the yard - and I mean RUN, we play tug of war, I can jump up into the car, on the couch, on the bed and even up steps. I started hydrotherapy last night in a pool with the great staff & doc at PetPT in Cherry Hill. It was fun and after the initial panic for my first time in a big pool, he said I did phenomenal!

I have been flea/tick preventative treated and have been dewormed. I am also Heartworm & Lyme negative. I have some slight demodex mange (it is NOT contagious to people or other animals) and am taking some medicine for it, Foster Mommy & the vet say it should go away soon, it was just stress related. Since my life is so great right now it has already started to diminish and my hair has started to grow back in. Foster Mommy keeps on telling me that I am going to make someone very happy & very lucky to be their companion.

Thanks for reading my blog & I will talk at you all next week <3

Foster Mommy is fostering me for All They Need is Love Animal Rescue.

I did my first hydrotherapy tonight!

Tonight I had my first session of hydrotherapy with the awesome Dr. Russell Howe-Smith at PetPT in Cherry Hill.  Doc was so great with me, Foster Mommy put a life vest on me and I was such a good boy. She kept telling me that, "good boy" and "I'm so proud of you!", so I know I was. She told me over and over how proud she was! She sounds like a silly lady on the video too! LOL
Here is a picture:
Bubba at PetPT
I really had a good time. After the intial panic, I enjoyed myself a lot & then I did super duper well and Foster Mommy was SO PROUD! I'm gonna try to do it 2 times a week :D

Then I went over to John's to meet Thumper again. It can work if we keep trying but he is going to come up to the kennel where I will be all week and let Thumper play with Zuni to see how he would want to play with me and if I am actually the best fit for him. I may not be and that's ok too. I know he loves me and really wants me but Thumper MAY want a different sibling. He could want a sister instead of a brother or someone who can play rough and I can't....but we're still taking it a day at a time, cause we may be able to just work through it !! They are both so nice plus I got to see the girls, Emily & Cari, from All They Need Is Love.

Tomorrow though I have to go to Country Haven Kennel for a week. Foster Mommy has a family emergency and has to go out of town. But John & Thumper are coming to the kennel Thursday night so that will break up the week. John really loves me lots so we will try and try to see if we can make it work...

I may not blog for a few days while I'm away from Foster Mommy but I will be back on Monday! I have another hydrotherapy session at 12:45pm on Monday <3 <3

Fun day today...

Today I had a professional photo shoot with an amazingly talented professional photographer. Val gave Foster Mommy a sneak peek of the pictures! Look:

Bubba by Valerie Bruder
I was so good for the shoot and Val said the pictures came out so well, Foster Mommy is so excited to get the rest when they are finished! Savannah got her pictures done today too and I can't wait to see hers also.

Then after that I had a dog meet today with John and his dog Thumper. Thumper was a really nice doggie but I am not sure if he liked me enough to live with me. We are going to try again tomorrow night because I think Foster Mommy was just nervous doing the dog meet by herself so tomorrow Emily, from the rescue, is going to come too.

Foster Mommy went out to dinner with my foster grandparents for Mother's Day and then they came in to meet me. Even Foster Mommy's Mommy (she is scared of all doggie's except Savannah) and she even pet me!

Tomorrow I start hydrotherapy at PetPT and then we are gonna go to John's and meet Thumper again and see how it goes....keep those paws crossed for me still!

Talk to you all tomorrow...and don't forget if anyone wants to visit me on Facebook click here.

Petco Adoption Event went really well!

So Foster Mommy took me to Petco today and it was so fun! I met Ashley from Lilo's Promise Animal Rescue with Auntie Azita & Auntie Liz. She is my new girlfriend. She kept giving me kisses and I offered her my stuffed animal. A really nice guy named John came up there to meet me and he really liked me. So tomorrow he is bringing his doggie, Thumper, over to meet me. I am going to be such a good boy because if we get along he may adopt me! That would be pretty cool!

On our way home from Petco, we stopped and picked Savannah up from Precious Pets doggie day camp and since we got home 2 hours ago we have been sleeping pretty hard....poor Foster Mommy hasn't gotten to nap because I keep lying in her spot every time she gets up :D

Don't forget if anyone is interested in meeting me please email Emily or Cari or go to the All They Need Is Love Animal Rescue website...or click this for the link to the Adoption Application.

I had so much fun today and this will be a short blog post but I'll add some pictures below and a link to a video Foster Mommy made of me...

My cute little video....
