Pitbull Adopted By His Favorite Volunteer Is The Happiest Dog Ever

Dogs, regardless of their breed, size, or age, are abandoned on the streets every single day, left to survive on their own.

It's a heartbreaking reality, but fortunately, there are countless wonderful people out there dedicated to making a difference.

Shelters like the Lewis and Clark Humane Society provide these dogs with a beacon of hope, offering them a second shot at happiness.

The shelter, located in Helena, Montana, is a haven for over 1,500 animals each year, boasting an impressive 98% adoption rate.

They are committed to keeping dogs for however long it takes to find them a forever home, even if it means the shelter becomes their long-term residence for some.

While the shelter offers a safer alternative than the loneliness of the streets, the ultimate dream for these dogs is to find a forever home with loving "pawrents."

Bubba Jr., a long-term resident at the shelter, found himself in just such a predicament, calling the shelter his home for 93 days.

Despite being a wonderful dog, his breed, a Pitbull, made it challenging for him to be adopted.

The shelter affectionately described him, saying: "People keep throwing Pitbulls around. Pitbull? Pittie? House Hippo? Slobber Monster? LCHS doesn't care. They see me for what I am. A giant meathead loveable dog!"

The breed faces many stereotypes that hinder their chances of adoption.

Adding to the challenge is the issue of pet-friendly housing, with many landlords outright refusing tenants with dogs, particularly Pitbulls.

This severely limits the opportunities for these dogs to find their forever homes.

As a result, dogs like Bubba Jr. often spend extended periods at the shelter.

Yet, beneath any tough exterior, many of these dogs possess the sweetest temperaments, patiently waiting for someone to recognize their worth and bring joy into their lives.

Bubba Jr. wasn't just any dog; the shelter described his endearing personality, stating:

"If we handed out trophies to each of our dogs, Bubba J's trophy plaque would read: 'Most Likely to Kiss.' He loves to run up and give his human teammates kisses and cuddles. He's all about his human teammates, always eager to join them for a walk or a movie on the couch. When he's not practicing his kisses, Bubba can be found working hard on his cuddling technique or scarfing down his kibble. He is truly a one-dog team, he doesn't need any dogs (or any cats, for that matter) to steal his thunder."

While Bubba cherished all the people at the shelter, there was one volunteer with whom he shared a special bond.

This connection was mutual, with the volunteer holding a particular fondness for Bubba as well.

After spending 93 days in the shelter, this volunteer decided to bring Bubba's search for a loving home to an end by adopting him.

This decision brought immense happiness not just to Bubba, but to everyone at the shelter.

The shelter shared this heartwarming story on their Facebook page, allowing Bubba to express his joy in his own words.

The announcement of Bubba finally finding a forever home, complete with cuddles, a warm bed, and a dedicated dad, warmed the hearts of many.

In a touching "diary entry," Bubba expressed his delight:

"Dear Diary, It's day 5 in my new home and boy are things different... I love my new life in this place called 'home'. Every day I wake up with my Favorite Volunteer and everyday is the best day ever!"

If you're considering adding a dog to your family, please think about visiting your local shelter.

You might find that you can be the "Favorite Volunteer" for a dog in need, brightening their life immensely.

Sadly, many dogs at shelters are waiting for someone to give them a chance at a forever home, but not all of them have the opportunity to stay at the shelter until that day comes.
