Story
Meet Tanbobby! DOB: December 2019Weight: 33 lbsDisposition: Tanbobby is a confident, friendly dog who approachs visitors readily. He gets along with all the other dogs and is a bit of a leader. When out walking, Tanbobby walks calmly and confidently wherever he goes, including busy and noisy areas. When he walks past other dogs, he likes to sniff and then continue walking. In the off lead areas, Tanbobby confidently explores the surroundings and approaches people and enjoys being touched and petted.History: Tanbobby arrived at Soi Dog Foundation’s hospital in December 2024 with a stab wound to his belly. Furtherexamination by the vets determined he also had injuries to his stomach, spleen and intestine. Tanbobby required surgery and recovered through supportive care and treatment. He came to TBL in April 2026 to find his forever family.Tanbobby arrived at TBL from our partner rescue, Soi Dog in Thailand, and he has already become a volunteer favorite. He’s 6 years old, about 34 lbs, and looks like a tiny Akita. His rich chocolate-colored coat is absolutely stunning.Tanbobby came to Soi Dog after suffering a stab wound to his abdomen—something no dog should ever endure. Thankfully, he received the life-saving care he needed and has made a full recovery. Now, he’s ready to find his forever family.Tanbobby is a friendly but initially reserved and independent boy. He does well with other dogs but tends to coexist rather than actively play. He’d be perfectly happy as an only dog, though he could also join a calm, respectful pack. In his current large playgroup, he prefers to stay on the sidelines—content, relaxed, and drama-free.The very most entertaining part of Tanbobby: He does a happy dance when he wants your attention where he gets up on his hindlegs and waves his front paws in the air. It is the best thing and absolutely adorable. He has low to moderate exercise needs. Tanbobby enjoys walks and hikes but doesn’t require anything too intense. He has a sweet, gentle personality—he may take a moment to warm up, but once he does, he loves pets and quiet attention.With his expressive face and unique look, Tanbobby is truly special. After everything he’s been through, he deserves a soft bed, kind people, and a lifetime of love and comfort ❤️ If you're interested in meeting Tanbobby, please visit our website to fill out an adoption application: www.thebarkinglot.net/adoptOur dogs are located in San Diego County, CA.
