My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This is BOBBY who is YELLOW ALERT currently at the EAST VALLEY ANIMAL SHELTER. He is probably closer to 1 year old, and weighs 56 lbs. He has a behavior mark on his card because he is very head-shy, which means he does not like when you put your hand over his head, and he will duck away.

We adopted Bobby from East Valley on 12/8 and had to return him on 12/11 because he did not get along with our other dog. He plays well with other dogs in the yard, but once in a home environment he wants to keep the human love and attention all to himself. He can be scared of strangers but I am confident he would be able to improve with proper socialization and training. He also guards his resources from humans and other dogs - trading a yummy treat worked well if he grabbed something we didn't want him to have.

Bobby is very smart but scared and needs love and affection as you can see in his video. He is shy in his kennel but thrives one-on-one when you show him kindness.
