Description Bubblegum
Bubblegum's Compatibility:
Dogs – Needs to be the only dog for now
Cats – Not a good match
Kids – Best suited for a home with adults

Meet Bubblegum, a clever, energetic Border Collie mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She has come a long way since arriving as a shy stray, and now she is ready to keep growing with someone who truly understands her.

Bubblegum is incredibly smart and loves to learn. If you enjoy being active, getting outside, and working with a dog who wants to work with you, she might be your perfect match. Long walks, hikes, puzzle toys, sniffing games, and training sessions are her idea of a good time. She is not just a pet. She is a partner in adventure.

She is still working on building confidence, especially around new people and other dogs. When she feels unsure, she will let you know in her own way, but with patience and consistency, she forms strong, lasting bonds. Once she trusts you, her goofy, affectionate side starts to shine, and it is impossible not to fall in love.

Bubblegum is looking for a calm, predictable home where she can be the only pet and have the space to settle in at her own pace. A busy apartment or high-traffic neighborhood is not the right fit for her. A quiet home with room to roam and someone who understands herding breeds is where she will thrive.

She is sweet, sensitive, and incredibly smart. And for the right person, Bubblegum is going to be an unforgettable companion.

Important Notice: A “meet and greet” with any existing dogs in your home is required, supervised by our team in our play areas. We encourage bringing your family and current dogs, especially if traveling from afar. Cats are not required for a meet and greet.

Adoption Hours: Daily 12-5PM, closed Wednesdays. No appointment needed, unless the dog or cat is in foster! Apply and then call us at 317-773-4974 to set up a meet and greet with an pet in foster care.

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?

You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
