PUMBA

Description

Pumba (A142845) is a 6-year-old Bloodhound x GSD mix who weighed 101.3 pounds on intake! 07/29/26 Pumba is back at the shelter after a brief adoption due to not doing well with the toddler in the home. He was said to do well with the baby and the 4-year-old but was growling at the 19-month-old. It never progressed past communicating his displeasure. He may do best in a home without children under 5 to help set him up for success! Pumba was said to walk nicely on a leash and did well when they brought him into a feed store! He was also said to do well their other dog, but did get frisky at times. Please ensure you are supervising interactions and making appropriate introductions with all new pets. Pumba was still noted to ride well in car, know his basic commands, and is housebroken. His surrendering owner did feel that he may have some separation anxiety, but it is hard to tell due to the limited time in their care. He will still need to recheck with a vet on 8/4 for his ear as previously noted. If you are interested in meeting Pumba, please let us know! 07/21/26 This big lovebug is Pumba! Pumba was surrendered to the shelter because his owner was moving out of the country and couldn't take him with. He was described as an affectionate dog who has historically done well with children and new people that he meets! Pumba was said to be housebroken and will bark at the door when he needs to go out to potty. Pumba was also noted to ride well in a vehicle and knows his basic commands (sit, down, paw). He is extra motivated to show off if a yummy treat is involved! Pumba was noted to be playful with other dogs. However, it is important that slow, safe, and controlled introductions are made with other animals to help set him up for success. On arrival at the shelter, Pumba had a severe ear infection and was treated by the vet. He has an ear culture and sensitivy test pending. It is very important that his new owner follows up with their own vet in 2 weeks (8/4) for a recheck. If you are interested in meeting Pumba, please let us know!
