Story
Hobbs has already endured more hardship than most dogs ever should. He was found living among numerous dogs with two broken back legs, somehow surviving despite the pain. One leg healed on its own, while the other required surgery to give him the second chance he so deserves. After months of recovery, crate rest, and determination, Hobbs is now fully recovered and LOVING LIFE!
And boy, is he ready to make up for lost time! This big, goofy, playful puppy wants to RUN, RUN, RUN, play with EVERYONE, and slobber on absolutely EVERYTHING! Life is exciting, the world is his playground, and he intends to enjoy every single minute of it!
Hobbs is incredibly smart, curious, and full of personality, with a stubborn streak that will keep you laughing. He absolutely ADORES KIDS and loves having people to play with. He's also house-trained, walks nicely on leash, and is a great car passenger - although he'd much rather ride shotgun and help you drive!
This handsome black-and-white hound mix has a medium energy level and is ready for a family who will embrace his goofy antics, playful spirit, and enthusiasm for life. He needs a home with a securely fenced yard where he can stretch those legs and enjoy his newfound freedom.
HOBBS HAS SURVIVED THE HARD PART. NOW HE NEEDS A FAMILY TO HELP HIM LIVE THE GOOD PART!
This boy has overcome so much, and you'd never know it from the happy, goofy puppy he is today. He isn't dwelling on his past - he's too busy dreaming about his next adventure, his next playmate, and probably whose shirt he can cover in slobber!
Could your home be where Hobbs' brightest chapter begins?
