Bob

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 9 yrs 3 mos

Lompoc, CA

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Story

Would you like a giant, furry friend who is content to warm your spot on the couch when you are away and then let you know that you are the most amazing and special person in the world when you come home? While not a guard dog, as Bob makes friends with strangers quite easily, he does have a big, intimidating presence that is just enough to keep any shady riff raff out. What would Bob like from you in exchange for keeping your spot warm, adoring you on a daily basis and keeping the peace in your home and yard? Well, he likes to chase a ball around the yard. He likes having a stuffed animal to carry around. He really likes being with you as much as you'll let him and of course some good quality food, keeping up on his vet checks and a nice soft bed (a spot on yours is even better in his book, but he'll happily stay on his own if you prefer). Bob is really just a great dog that recently suffered the loss of his family. We're trying to help Bob put his world back together. Let us know if you want to meet this big, lovable lug.

Story

Fern is one of our mini shepards (weighing about 40 lbs) still waiting for her forever home. She came to us as a stray in August and has been waiting for a home since. Fern definitely has her puppy energy still, so will need a person that is willing to train a young active dog. She can be a little bit timid meeting new people at first, but comes around quickly to show her bubbly, goofy personality. Fern enjoys the company of other dogs, but can be a bit rambunctious with her play style so another dog that would match or tolerate her would be great. Call to make an appointment (805)781-4400 or come into the shelter to meet Fern today!
