BoBo

Bobo has been with us for over a month now, making him one of our longer-term residents—and while we’ve loved getting to know him, shelter life is starting to wear on this sweet boy. He’s ready for a home of his own where he can finally relax and be loved how he deserves! Bobo came to us because he was a little too big and active for his previous senior owner, but don’t let his size fool you—this gentle giant has a soft heart and a willingness to learn that’s truly special. He takes treats so gently, responds beautifully to redirection, and genuinely enjoys training. With a bit of structure and guidance, Bobo is going to absolutely thrive. He’s potty trained, keeps his space nice and clean, and knows cues like “sit” and “down.” He may even be crate trained, as he settles nicely in his kennel and seems to appreciate having a cozy, safe space of his own. Bobo is a strong boy and still working on his leash manners, so he’ll do best with a capable handler who can continue helping him build those skills. He’s been doing great with a harness lead and is learning “wait” with positive reinforcement—he’s already making great progress! Personality-wise, Bobo is the best mix of sweet and silly. He’s been friendly with everyone he’s met, loves making new friends, and his soft eyes paired with his goofy moments make him impossible not to love. Bobo doesn’t have a ton of experience with other animals and can feel overwhelmed in busy dog environments, though he hasn’t shown reactive / aggressive behaviors. He’ll benefit from slow, thoughtful introductions and continued positive experiences. We think he may do best with a friendly female dog companion. We are more than happy to provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting! While in our care, Bobo has bravely tried all sorts of new things—car rides, trail walks, even some agility-style play! He may still be figuring it all out, but he’s never afraid to give it a try, and that says so much about his character. Bobo will thrive best with having a positive outlet for his energy. He is the type of dog who appreciates keeping both his mind and body moving! Bobo is truly such a good boy. He’s loyal, loving, and ready to give his whole heart to someone. Now he just needs that someone to give him a chance!
