Story
Hi there, I’m Bob. Foster mama calls me Bobby but she also calls me Bobber, Robby, Robert, Roberto, Bobster, Bobosso…the list goes on and on. I don’t care, I love everything she calls me because I really love my people. And I equally love strangers - I’ll likely roll right over and shamelessly ask for a belly rub from anyone who’ll pay attention to me! An average day for me goes something like this: I roll out of (your) bed where I’ve spent the night sleeping soundly, quiet as a mouse. I’m excited to start a new day by running out to potty then screaming back inside because it’s BREAKFAST time! After breakfast I bee-line for the couch where I cozy up for a morning nap while foster parents get ready for work. Then they say it’s “kennel time” and as much as I hate those words, I trot off to my kennel where I spend the day until they get home. When the foster parents get home, I can hardly contain myself, I’m so excited! I bark and dance to come out of my kennel and I BOLT like a rocket outta there.Then I bark and bounce, run around and jump, and I get a little nippy - you’ll have to be aware of this and work on it with me, sorry. I’m just so excited to be out that I can't help myself. My “distaste” for the kennel comes from my past: last year I was diagnosed with heart worm and had to spend 4 long months on strict kennel rest to limit my activity. It was horrible, I hated it, and developed a little anxiety for the kennel. Now, on my way to 100% heart worm free (yay!), I’ve been working really hard on kennel training again - and making great progress! Back to my day: I usually get a Kong to work out my energy, then maybe a walk, DINNER time, and then spend the evening playing with my foster dog sisters and some toys. I'll snuggle on the couch until bed time, then run to be the first one in (your) bed (Don’t even consider adopting me if you don’t want to sleep with me - snuggling with my humans is the best part of life, period). I live with two dogs and I love them. We wrestle, play chase in the snow, share toys nicely, and snuggle up when it’s time to relax. I can be a little overzealous in meeting new dogs, so intros need to be done slowly, but I’m happy and silly and playful and adapt quickly with dogs my size. I might be a little rough-and-tumble for smaller dogs…I’m not all that graceful. I’ve met a cat once and wasn’t too interested, but it’s been while and I’d have to meet one again to see if I can control my excitement around them. Kids are fun too, though again, I’m clumsy and might knock the little ones over! I’m currently taking Obedience Level 1 and learning to focus and cope with excitement in an appropriate way and improving those skills every day. I’m young and excitable and I’ve still got some “puppy” in me; I can get into mischief sometimes; but overall I’m really easy to live with. I adjust well to almost any home, I'm a good listener, I'm an easy walker, and I love car rides. So, after growing up on the streets and in a shelter in Texas, moving across the country, surviving heart worm, and living in rescue for six months, I’m ready to settle into a forever home and become someone’s can’t-live-without BFF. If you’re “the one,” you’ll foster* me until my last heart worm test in June, then we’ll officially become a family. Follow me on Instagram @adopt_bob and see more of my day to day or to reach out and ask me questions. Then, once you decide that I'm your soul dog, apply to adopt me! *Bob needs one final negative heartworm test to complete his treatment. He's had one negative result already and is currently happy, healthy and under no restrictions! As Bob's foster-to-adopt, Save-a-Bull covers all his expenses and vet care until he officially becomes yours.
