Meet Bobbi Jo, a 7-year-old bundle of pure love, big feelings, and even bigger kisses. She may be out of the shelter now, but after two months cooped up, this girl is bursting with excitement for life—and it shows!
Let’s get the honest stuff out of the way:
Bobbi Jo definitely needs some work on the leash. She’s so thrilled to be out and about, she’ll take you for a bit of a ride (arm included). She gets easily distracted by dogs and people—not because she’s reactive, but because she wants to meet everyone. And don’t even get her started on car rides. She’s a drooly, whiny mess back there. Sorry. It’s just not her thing.
But here’s what makes Bobbi Jo amazing:
She’s never met a dog she didn’t like. She might sound scary when she barks or plays (she’s got a big voice!), but truly—she wouldn’t hurt a fly. Underneath the noise is the kindest, goofiest soul you’ll ever meet. One look into her big brown eyes and you’ll understand—this girl knows how to love.
Bobbi Jo thinks she’s a lap dog and has zero sense of personal space. Her absolute favorite thing in the world? Giving big, wet, all-tongue kisses. She’ll sleep anywhere you are—bed, floor, couch—as long as she’s near her person.
She loves belly rubs, dancing around the house with her foster family, and being the center of attention. She does enjoy a good bone. And if you’re lucky, you’ll get to see her do her signature “happy feet” dance—where she lifts her legs high, sways side to side, and stomps around with pure joy. Cue the music and shout: “Break it down, Bobbi!!”
Bobbi Jo is a super sweet girl who loves being with her people, getting treats, and playing with her stuffed toys. She’s fully potty-trained, improving on leash walking, and knows basic commands like come, sit, wait, and no. Once a counter-surfer, she’s learned that counters are off-limits and can now be left home alone without causing trouble. Best of all, she sleeps through the night without any issues. Bobbi Jo may be a little rough around the edges, but her heart? 100% gold.
Bobbi Jo is an umclaimed stray from a local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page.
If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
