About Bobby Fun &

Bobby is a young Golden Retriever, turning two years old in November. Before arriving at Lucky Paws Rescue, he experienced several homes, seeking the right one without any fault of his own. Since joining us, Bobby has thrived in a nurturing foster environment, enjoying the routines, exercise, and training he craves. He quickly learns new habits and loves his toys and doggy puzzles. Bobby enjoys the company of his foster sister, Zoe, and is a champ when it comes to baths and grooming. He has a loving bond with his foster parents and is learning to relax more each day. With plenty of energy, Bobby excels at both physical and mental exercises. He generally gets along well with other dogs, although he can be a bit reactive on a leash or in a kennel, something we're actively working on. He loves outings and is improving on his car reactivity when he sees other dogs or people. Bobby's affection for both humans and dogs is evident; the reactivity tends to occur only with barriers like a car, kennel, or leash. We're fortunate to have a dedicated trainer helping out as Bobby continues to advance. In the right home, Bobby will undoubtedly bring joy to his new family.
