Bobby is still very much a big, lovable puppy with a heart full of curiosity and a nose for adventure. He’s got medium energy and gets excited for outings—so don’t be surprised if he gets a little jumpy when the leash comes out. But once he’s outside and away from the chaos of the shelter, Bobby’s sweet and playful side really starts to shine.

Bobby lives for belly rubs, snuggles, and being close to his people. He’s learning his manners and already takes treats gently, which makes training a breeze. While he can be a bit reactive to other dogs in the kennel environment, he’s making great progress in playgroups.

Recently, Bobby has really come out of his shell. He’s now played well with both male and female dogs—after a moment to warm up, he engages in bouncy, playful fun. His latest session with a young male ended in zoomies and tail wags, and he’s had equally positive playtime with female pups, too.

Whether he’s sniffing every inch of the yard like a true explorer or learning the ropes of polite doggy play, Bobby is eager to grow, learn, and love. He’d thrive with a family ready to offer guidance, patience, and maybe a backyard where he can put his nose to work.

If you’re looking for a goofy, affectionate, and trainable companion, Bobby’s ready to be your best friend and your most loyal adventure partner.

Although he is heartworm positive, it is treatable and not contagious. Friends of Wake County Animal Center has provided a $700 sponsorship to help cover the cost of treatment.

He is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and will be neutered prior to going home. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.
