Dog Hooked On Heroin And Crystal Meth Is Now Clean - And Has A New Home

A dog who was found high on heroin and crystal meth in a squalid motel room full of drugs is now ‘clean’ - and has found a new home.

Bubba, a seven-month-old terrier mix spent four months recovering in Orange County Animal Care after being found close to death in a hotel room in Tustin California.

He had been found listless and cold in a corner of a room strewn with drug paraphernalia - as his 40-year-old owner Joshua West was arrested for possession of heroin and meth.

The dog tested positive for both heroin and methamphetamine.

Lt Brian Frick, an area animal control officer said, ‘I walked in and saw all these drugs on the ground.

‘I said, “where’s the dog?” and walked around the corner and saw him lying listless. He was so cold and lethargic, I thought it was just he’d been taken from his mom too soon. I never suspected he may have gotten into drugs.’

A couple have now adopted Bubba, who is said to be drug-free and ‘full of life’.

Katie Ingram of OC Animal Care, said: ‘They were a really nice couple and told us that Bubba would have a sister. Bubba bonded with them immediately.’
