You would never know Obie started his journey as an exremely scared street stray. He took months to warm up and accept touch. However, when he flipped he rolled. He is a gregarious guy, never meeting a stranger. He loves people and despite over a year at the facility could not be happier. We were crushed when after only 24 hours his first forever home returned him because he would be alone during work hours. Did they know he'd been alone most of his life and gets less than they can give as one of several with a rescue? He is happy but we are devastated to see this incredibly sweet and special guy still living out his days in between a crate and yard time, not in his own home.
Obie doesn’t ask for much at all, just a nice spot in the sun and his person to lean on. If you are lucky enough to be chosen by Obie, you will feel the love! This distinguished man is amazing with all people and great with kids. His favorite way to show affection is by getting as close as he can and leaning in! So, if you’re looking for a medium-size, 50 lb “thinks he’s a lap dog” type of snuggler, Obie’s your man! Obie’s only six years old, but don't let his frosty face fool you, he is SPRY and ready for ANY and all adventures you want to take him on. His calm demeanor and gentle spirit make him a fit for any home. He’s not fancy guy, but strikingly handsome looks make everyone stop and give him a quick hug at every event he attends. He needs little to no grooming due to his short coat. Obie is a serious foodie and perks up at the first crinkle of the treat bag. He's so intiligent that he realized that when we are at an event next to Totful Treat, he will sit infront of their table, prim and proper, waiting for someone to pet him. Then he slowly looks over his shoulder at the sample treats hoping his newest "victim" will feed him one. He’s actually so excited about his meals that he needs to eat from a puzzle bowl to slow him down. Obie is leash trained, gets along with most other dogs and LOVES to sit on any and all chairs. Obie is just one of those dogs who really knows how to make a person feel special. Meet him and you’ll see. He’s currently accepting applications for his new lucky family members
Because of my Flight Risk I cannot be left unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures and my new family must be aware of open doors and windows. NO offleash activities in unfenced areas for life.
