Bobby - 8 year old male Jack Russell Terrier

Bobby is an 8 year old male Jack Russell Terrier who is currently looking for a new home. He came in for rehoming with his friend, Heidi, who has since been rehomed, but he is still looking! Although not related, both had spent the whole of their lives in tiny kennels which were in a horrendous state through not being cleaned.

He was being poorly treated with total disregard for the dog himself. Apart from working excursions he was hardly exercised, He has been health checked, wormed/flead,neutered, micro-chipped,vaccinated, teeth cleaned and nails clipped. Bobby were on medicated shampoo for a couple of weeks due to having dry scaley skin.

Despite how he has lived his live we are looking for normal homes, given the right kind of experienced owner etc who is at home majority of the time, we are sure, can be house trained. He was forced to live in the dirty conditions by their previous owner doesn’t mean he can’t enjoy a cosy home where he have regular access to the garden and outside walks to help with his house-training.

He is affectionate and friendly full of character and intelligence, He would settle into a normal home environment very well given time,patience and understanding. He loves his walks immensely,and very good on the lead and travel well. Bobby will suit a toddler free home as he’s quite lively and bouncy but generally he’s fine around children.

He loves to interact with you, he is also affectionate, but especially likes a bit of rough and tumble and running after balls! Bobby is great with people, but he is not keen on male dogs. Due to his outgoing and inquisitive nature he must be kept on a flexi lead, he’s into everything!

Bobby is full of beans, he’s comical and so much fun! After his experiences he need’s some ‘home comforts’, lots of love and bags of exercise, you wouldn’t think he was 8! A rural home or one in a quiet area is probably the ideal.

Bobby went to an indoor fete for about 2 1/2 hours where we had a stall. He was centre of attention and loved every minute of it! He was absolutely brilliant with the children, and there were a lot of them including some naughty ones! The new pics show him with some children, enjoying some belly rubs, he was in his element and enjoyed every minute of it.

He didn’t cock his leg once and every time we went outside that’s when he did his toilets including number 2’s. This is important because he’s not house trained yet he’s showing signs he’ll could easy to work with. We are very proud of Bobby who considering the sheltered life he’s led has proven he really is a wonderful dog.

Bobby was rehomed a few days ago but we’re sorry to say he’s come back today. We’ve established that he’s the kind of dog that needs to bond with any new owner before he’s rehomed with them, we feel he can’t settle very well unless he knows you. Because of his anxiousness and insecurity he was a bit naughty and bit one of the owners, this is completely and utterly out of character, he only came up for a fuss and to say hello but was pushed away, he then growled and the new owner gestured with his hands out of surprise and Bobby bit his hand, we think he thought he was going to be hit.

We feel Bobby needed some reassurance and affection at that time and felt rejected when he was pushed away, it’s a real shame because he was in a new home with new people who he didn’t know so it was the worst thing for anyone to do with a rescue dog they’d only had a couple of days.

Bobby has never ever snapped or bitten in the 5 months he’s been with us, he’s met many people but he’s always been with his dog walkers or the Dog Rehoming Co-ordinator so he’s always felt happy and secure and we think this is why. Bobby needs an experienced Jack Russell Terrier owner who can spend time with him and slowly let him settle into the home, visiting him at the kennels regularly to walk him etc.

He hardly messed in the home which is fantastic and he loved being the house so much he didn’t want to go into the garden, he loved his walks too! He just needs an owner that he gain trust with so are you out there?
