About Bob

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Bob is a true social butterfly who thrives on companionship and connection. Whether joining adventures at dog-friendly coffee shops, enjoying gatherings with friends, or spending time at doggie daycare, Bob finds joy in the company of people and other dogs. He’s the ideal match for someone who works from home, is retired, or loves bringing their pup along on daily outings. This handsome, patient shepherd mix is gentle and tolerant, comfortable with dogs of all ages and personalities—his best friend Mala is strong-willed, and Bob doesn’t mind at all. He gets along well with cats; while he may bark at feisty felines, he loses interest if they leave him be. Bob loves car rides and is happy with any toy, be it squeakers, ropes, or balls. He is fully housebroken and walks beautifully on a leash. Having another dog in the home is best for Bob, providing him with companionship and ongoing confidence. Bob struggles with being alone and does experience separation anxiety, which can lead to destructive behaviors when left by himself. He needs a loving, patient adopter committed to supporting him—someone around most of the time, or a very secure home setup. Bob’s adoption comes with four complimentary training sessions with Confident Canine KC to help ease his transition and build his confidence. He may not be the right fit for every home, but for the person willing to invest in him, Bob will be a devoted, once-in-a-lifetime companion. His progress so far is impressive, and with continued support, Bob is ready to flourish into the loving, happy dog he’s meant to be. Eligible for the Foster-to-Adopt program, you can welcome Bob into your home and ensure it’s truly the perfect match before finalizing adoption. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
