Reunited: Bubba the Dog (Garbanzo - 385891)

You all know and love him as Garbanzo, our sweet, long-term resident who has been waiting patiently for an adopter since the end of February. But today, his story took the most unbelievable turn!

We recently received a call from his original owner, who had been missing him for a very long time. Garbanzo's real name is Bubba! 🐾

When Bubba arrived at the shelter this past February, he was in the care of a different person. His original owner mentioned that Bubba had been impounded at our shelter once before, way back in late 2023, but that he had since been lost for a long time. Our staff dug into the archives, compared the intake photos, and sure enough... Garbanzo is Bubba. It was a perfect match! 📸✨

Today, Bubba’s family came to MCAS to finally bring him home. We captured this tearful, beautiful reunion on video, and there wasn’t a dry eye. 😭❤️🎥

We want to send a massive THANK YOU to all the volunteers, staff, and supporters who loved, walked, and tirelessly advocated for Garbanzo. You kept his spirits high and his tail wagging until he was found, and it was time for him to go back home.

Happy life, Bubba! Welcome home. 🏡🎉
