Support Bubba's Recovery Journey

Hello, my name is Riley. My boyfriend’s Jesse, and this is our wonderful dog, Bubba.

Yesterday evening our dog was outside going to the bathroom with Jesse, and unfortunately we have neighbors with two dogs that are not trained well, or have much discipline really. One of those dogs is a pitbull, and for some reason he has never liked Bubba. He was able to hop over a 6 foot fence lastnight, and he ripped open our dogs neck.. The gash was very deep & it was clear this dog wanted Bubba unalive. We went to the vet and they stitched him up. This morning, it’s 5 am — and we woke up to bubba quivering and shaking violently..Crying. This has absolutely broken our hearts and it’s sad there’s nothing we can really do about it. He is traumatized.

This dog that attacked him has been loose in our front and back yard a good handful of times since we’ve been here. He angrily barks through the fence and claws it whenever we are in our OWN backyard. Even with their knowledge of how their dog behaves, he is left unsupervised. He has had issues with our other neighbors, and he has charged at a mail man on our front steps. It was only a matter of time something awful would happen.

I really hope he is able to go outside again without being scared. Our neighbors seem to not care so much about it. The man was actually mad— not embarrassed or disgusted with himself— that we called animal control.

Bubba is such a loving, funny, huge character of a dog. He makes our lives so much better. He loves playing dress up, getting the zoomies after baths, and cheering us up when we’re not at our best. He is the best boy. I hope someday he’ll snap out of this trauma that he is going through and get back to his usual self…until then, we do not expect the neighbors to pay for this. So I am asking you if you have the means ♥️

EDIT: Bubba’s surgery is covered! thank you all SO much for caring and helping us..I had no idea this would actually work and ya’ll have made this easier. With the extra funds we raise now, we are looking to actually move. I don’t want bubba to be scared going to the bathroom and we find it best to just pack up and change our atmosphere. It’s for the better..He deserved so much better. We also will be looking into trauma therapy so he doesn’t grow into this state of mind and stay there. Thank you again, truly
