My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This adorable goofball is Bubba, our friend from Saving Death Row Dogs in Topeka, Kansas. Bubba is a very handsome Rottweiler mix and about six years old. Like so many of the dogs in our program, Bubba had a difficult start to life. His mama was used as a backyard breeder. Bubba's oxygen was cut off during his birth and he had to be resuscitated.

He's a very sweet guy and loves all the people, big and small. On a perfect day, Bubba would spend some time running, rolling and lounging in the grass, and sitting for some yummy treats. In case you were wondering, he really likes cheese. That stuff is good! (If you want to get really fancy with rotisserie chicken, Bubba won’t complain!) Bubba's nub tail wags like crazy if you talk silly to him. Maybe he's just humoring us, but he sure seems to enjoy it! Bubba also loves to play with stuffies and rope toys—he runs and places them where he thinks they belong in the yard. So stinkin' cute!

Bubba's been bounced around quite a bit, so we really want his next home to be his forever. That’s what he dreams about at night. And frankly, also during the day!
Are you Bubba's dream come true?

Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more info on Bubba. He's hanging out with The Pet Connection in Beloit, Kansas, but transport is available to the right home. #thepetconnectionks

More about this rescue

Since 1999, The Pet Connection has found homes for more than 7,000 animals and rehabilitated hundreds of dogs and cats with aggression, fear and anxiety issues. We have spayed or neutered over 8,000 dogs and cats in our own free and low-cost clinics since 2002 and assisted another 5,800 pets with low-cost services since 2006. The Pet Connection was founded in 1999 in Mission, Kansas, to offer shelter for homeless pets, adoptions and training. We were one of the first no-kill advocacy groups in the Kansas City metro area and the first cage-free facility in Johnson County to offer education about available spay and neuter programs. In 2006, The Pet Connection relocated to a facility in Mission that enabled all dogs and cats to have their own rooms while awaiting adoptive homes or being rehabilitated due to behaviors that hindered adoption prospects. The Pet Connection currently focuses on pet adoptions, dog and cat training, aggressive dog rehabilitation, and classes for pet owners. We were the first in this area to offer free training/behavior classes to adopters.

​The Pet Connection trainers and behavior members use a team approach in order to implement the ideas that have the highest success rate. Our five behavioral trainers working out of the Kansas City metro have a variety of backgrounds applicable to dog training and behavior. The Pet Connection implements positive reinforcement training methods, where the dog learns to face the trigger, but to respond appropriately. Read about our experienced trainers under “Meet the Team" on our website at www.thepetconnection.net. ​

The Pet Connection has always been committed to being no-kill advocates. We have been involved in many projects with local and national organizations to help Kansas City progress in how homeless pets are cared for and to improve the services that they receive. Our organization is a 501c3 charity in the state of Kansas, and has always provided thousands of dollars worth of supplies, including cat litter, food, toys, beds and dog houses, to other rescues and shelters.
