About Bob

Meet Bob! Bob is a charming 12-year-old Dachshund, balancing a zest for adventure with a love for snuggles. Weighing in at just 10 pounds, he enjoys exploring the yard, always on the lookout for the next perfect digging spot. After a fun day out, he loves curling up beside his favorite people for quality cuddle sessions. This affectionate little guy adores people, treats, and any form of attention. Whether accompanying you on leisurely walks or settling in for a cozy nap, Bob is content. His foster notes that he has selective hearing, especially when he finds a new place to dig. He might pretend not to hear you calling his name, but his wagging tail gives him away every time. Bob is good with other dogs, but he'd thrive as the cherished companion in a one-pet household. He isn't a fan of cats and would thrive best in a calm home without young children. Ideally, his new home should have someone who's home often and appreciates a quieter lifestyle, along with a fenced yard for safe exploration. Bob has some age-related vision changes but navigates well and still enjoys going up and down stairs. He's a senior with a huge heart, ready to share all his love. If you’re searching for a loyal companion to join you on adventures and share quiet moments, Bob is eager to meet you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
