Story
Meet Bobby!Bobby came to us from the shelter after being surrendered for escaping—but meeting him, it feels less like he was trying to get out and more like he was searching for a place where he finally felt safe.This gentle 2-year-old, 21-pound boy has a soft, easygoing spirit that makes him instantly lovable. He is dog friendly, house trained, wonderful with children, and thrives on calm, reassuring companionship. While he hasn’t been tested with cats, his laid-back temperament suggests he may do well.Bobby came into rescue heartworm positive, but he completed treatment like a champ and now has a clean bill of health. He’s ready to leave the uncertainty behind and step into a life of comfort and stability.Bobby is not a fan of being crated and would do best in a home where he can have a little more freedom and continue to build trust and confidence.He isn’t asking for much—just a soft place to land, a patient heart, and someone who will give him the time and reassurance he’s been missing. In return, Bobby offers quiet loyalty, gentle companionship, and a love that feels like home.Bobby is ready to finally exhale… all he needs is someone to welcome him in.To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt. It doesn`t obligate you, but it is the first step. We don`t get to all of the inquiries but respond to all applications. Thank you for choosing to rescue!

Ron and his two brothers (Rob and Rod) came from South Texas where they along with their Mom was part of a hoarding situation. Mom is a Rat Terrier. We're not sure what breed Dad is. Ron was born on approximately 11/24/2025. Which means he is 23 weeks old as of 5/6/2026. He is fully vetted (microchipped, neutered, 3 sets of puppy vaccinations, rabies vaccination, and dewormed, along with a monthly heartworm preventative while in our care). As of 05/06/2026 he weighs 8.1 lbs. He loves to play fight with his siblings, run around the yard and play with the dog toys. Ron will definitely bring lots of joy and laughter to your home.
