Obi is a Saint Bernard who was born in September of 2024. He was surrendered by his family because he does not like to share around food, and they had a small child who wasn't able to understand the boundaries he needed.
He knows basic commands like sit, shake (paw) and leave it. He was mostly potty trained in his last home, but may need a refresher course as he adjusts to the new potty schedule.
According to his previous family, he’s been exposed to dogs, cats and children. He does occasionally chase cats if they run but in general is very tolerant of them. He would do best in a home where he’s the only dog or would need a proper introduction to the right dog companion, and would need to be fed separately. This is mainly due to the fact that he resource guards his food, so if his owners are comfortable with managing his environment appropriately, he could do just fine.
He’s moderately active. He enjoys a good zoomie around the yard followed by a bone and a nap! While he does enjoy being outside, he’s an indoorsman. He does ok on a leash but is used to having freedom in the fenced in back yard.
Obi will be neutered & full vaccinated prior to adoption. His adoption fee is $200.
We are doing all meet n' greets BY APPOINTMENT ONLY after an adoption application has been generally approved:
