About Bobby
************** PLEASE APPLY AT www.gsrv.com.au ****************************
Beautiful Bobby is 6.5 years young and is looking for a very special forever home.
Bobby was abandoned at the pound by his family, he was heartbroken, confused and was extremely anxious as to where he was and where his family had gone. Seeing how stressed Bobby was, we immediately found him a wonderful foster home so that he could unravel from shelter life and learn to relax.
Bobby was always an outdoor dog and was never invited to be inside as part of the family, in foster care he has been living the life of luxury indoors. Bobby has been sleeping inside on his own warm, cosy bed, he has taken to this lifestyle like a fish to water and has no intention of being left outside alone ever again.
Bobby absolutely adores people of all sizes and runs up to anyone and everyone he meets with a big happy grin and wiggly bottom! Bobby loves attention and will lean into you for a cuddle or roll onto his back for a tummy rub, he is a typical German Shadow and needs to be with his people, his new home will ideally have someone home more often than not. Bobby has lived with children previously so will suit a home where everyone is over the age of 5 years.
It was clear when Bobby arrived that he was suffering from very sore eyes and couldn’t see as well as he should, we immediately booked him in to visit our friends at Wantirna Vet Clinic. Bobby was diagnosed with Pannus, an autoimmune condition common in German Shepherds that effects the corneas. Bobby requires daily eye drops for the remainder of his life, his new family must be comfortable administering these despite Bobby’s protesting and managing his condition long-term.
Bobby’s eyes are already feeling much better, and he can see much clearer than before now that he is receiving treatment. Bobby’s condition has little effect to his daily life, he still gets around extremely well and can always see the treats coming!
Bobby is dog selective and often uses his big bark if he sees other dogs when out and about. With very slow introductions, Bobby may be happy to have a doggy friend on walks, however he needs to be an only dog in his new home. Bobby hasn't had a lot of training and could do with some work on his leash skills as he tends to pull especially if he is distracted by a good smell! Bobby is untested with cats and small animals.
Bobby is extremely cuddly and is looking for someone to love and adore him! This boy is full of love and is the most affectionate, sweet boy that just wants a family to call his own, he is a real-life Teddy bear waiting for his perfect forever home.

Adoption details
We offer a 'Foster to Adopt' program. This means that the dog will go to live with their adoptive family for 4 weeks to ensure it is the perfect match for both the dog and new family. After the 4 weeks is complete, if all has gone well, the adoption is formalised and your new doggy companion is officially yours!
If you are interested in adopting from us, we ask that you fill out the Adoption Application form on our website (via the link provided below) with as much detail as possible, including the name of the dog you are interested in.
We do not rehome female dogs to a home where there is an existing female dog. Whilst there are always exceptions, it is generally unwise to have two females together; two males can sort it out, a male and a female can sort it out, but when two females fight, the results can be disastrous. For this reason, following the advice from numerous Veterinary behaviourists, as well as our own experience from the last eight years, we do not rehome females into homes with other female dogs.
All of our dogs are de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and worm treated
Puppies (2 months to 4 months) - $1000
Puppies (4 to 6 months) - $800
Adolescents (6 months to 1 year) - $700
Mature (1 year to 6 years) - $600
Senior (7 years plus) - $350
