Bobby

Hello everyone, my name is Bobby!

I am a 7 year old fella looking for a family to call my own. You'll have to bare with me here, I have a bit of a story to tell.

I guess you could say that I haven't had the best life so far. I came to the shelter in a very bad way, and the staff have had to put a lot of work getting me to look as handsome as I do now! My previous home were not treating me for parasites, nor were they caring for my skin condition. I had scabs and sores all over my body which were causing serious irritation. I was also very hungry on arrival to Blue Cross. My previous owners weren't feeding me properly, leaving me in a very malnourished state.

Luckily, there are some lovely people who work and volunteer at Blue Cross who put extra time and care into ensuring I become as healthy as I could be. I now look a million dollars, with the only health concern being that my skin and ears will be need to be monitored for the duration of my life.

My previous owners didn't let me make any dog friends, so I now don't know how to meet them nicely and can get quite anxious around other dogs. Because of this, I am only suitable for a home that has a mature family and has no other animals. I am not a dog that you could take to dog parks or dog beaches, as I believe they would be too overwhelming for me.

I would also prefer an owner with experience with my breed, or experience with rescuing a dog that has a few issues to work through. If this sounds like you, then I would love to meet you at Blue Cross Animals Society of Victoria!
