About Bobby

Bobby is a small adult Chihuahua with a big personality packed into a little frame. Even as an adult, he keeps a puppyish spark—there’s a mischief in his eyes and a bounce in his step that make it hard not to laugh when he’s around. After a busy day, Bobby will be at the door wagging his tail, ready to lift your spirits and invite you to play or just hang out on the couch. He’s friendly with people and other dogs, always looking for connection, attention, and someone to share the couch with or a quick toss of the ball. Bobby would do well in a home that has time for snuggles, play sessions, and plenty of affection. While he’s only just arrived at the rescue, he’s quickly making himself known and is eager for a place to call home. Ready to make Bobby part of your routine?
