My story

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

Bobo needs a home, please help Bobo, his owner has given him a time limit and he needs a soft loving home for the rest of his years…..here is his info 💙

I’m Bobo. I'm a neutered male, Up to Date on shots and approx. 9yrs old. I came to Hopes Haven after my dad died and the CA. shelter was unable to keep me due to injuring myself trying to get out of the kennel...again and again. I am an attention hound and love getting affection. I will choose the couch over my comfy dog bed, am treat motivated and absolutely love to go on walks. Unless there's a good reason to be in the yard, I prefer to be inside with my human. I love to play with my toys if you play with me. I have spent a lot of time with other dogs, but I'm getting cranky in my years and a leashed introductory period is advised. Small animals, such as cats, are a NO..I have a large prey drive.
I have separation anxiety and don't like to be alone. I don't like fireworks, thunder or heavy rain Please don't put me in a crate, it gives me nightmares. If someone knocks on the door or rings the doorbell I will bark loudly, but will greet the guest with my tail wagging. I howl when I'm happy or excited, like when I'm getting ready to go on a walk!
A tall, strong fence is advised. Currently I have an 8ft Vinyl fence and I've stayed in my yard.
I'm not confident enough to stay alone without causing havoc. I'm looking for someone who is dog savvy, will have time and patience to teach me it's OK to stay home alone and want a loyal, affectionate friend till the end of my days.

More about this rescue

Hopes Haven began as a dream. A televised news story about a case of obscene animal abuse broke our hearts. Video from the scene taken after authorities seized possession of the animals revealed several deceased and emaciated dogs. Of the dogs still alive, only two were determined to have any chance of survival. Marsha called the humane society where the dogs had been taken and asked if a terribly emaciated Doberman that was on the newscast could be held for her to adopt if she survived. The care givers at the shelter named the Doberman Hope. Hope's life had been one of being chained inside of a barn and forced to have litter after litter of puppies, all while rarely seeing the light of day. Although Hope never did fully recover, she did indeed survive and lived with us for almost thirteen months before she died. Hopes Haven is a tribute to her and to all innocent dogs that have had their trust betrayed by unworthy guardians.

We give hope to those that have no place else to go. The old, infirm, and ill will always have a place to go as long as Hopes Haven exists.

We also specialize in northern breed rescue such as Huskies and Malamutes.
