About Bobby

Bobby is a spirited young Cattle Dog/Terrier mix who packs plenty of energy into his days. He’s got a puppy’s love for speed—zooming around and chasing any excuse to sprint—earning him the nickname "Ricky" Bobby. But Bobby balances out his athletic streak with genuine affection. Once he’s burned off his energy, he’s always up for a cuddle and some gentle attention. Bobby thrives best in a home with a securely fenced yard, especially if you’re in a busier area or if you haven’t raised a high-energy pup before. Bobby will likely enjoy sharing his home with another dog—just a meet and greet first to make sure it’s a good fit. He hasn't been introduced to cats yet but could likely adapt to a dog-savvy cat given a slow, positive introduction. Bobby is best suited for families with children 8 or older, especially where interactions can be observed and supervised. At his core, Bobby’s an engaged, loving boy who wants to bring fun and companionship to an active home. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
