——————————————-
**Meet Bobby! **

Bobby is a very active boy who is full of energy and ready to explore the world! He loves playing outside with all the toys, and his favorite games are **catch me if you can** with a toy in his mouth and **fetch**. When hes not playing, youll usually find him sitting on your lap or right next to you. This little sidekick always wants to be involved in whatever his people are doing and loves being wherever his family is.

Bobby can be a little shy when introduced to new situations and settings. The world and all its different noises can still seem a little scary at first, but he warms up and settles in very quickly. With a little time and patience, he will become a very confident boy!

Bobby gets along great with other dogs and is cat tested. He loves to chase and play with cats, so he would do well with a dog-savvy cat that enjoys that kind of interaction. He is also very social and has even been **cookout tested!**

This smart boy is highly treat and food motivated and already knows the basic commands **sit, come, down, and crate**. He is fully crate and potty trained, sleeps all night in his crate, and is leash trained and loves going for walks. He also does very well with grooming and nail trims.

Bobby is high energy, incredibly playful, and would thrive with an active family. Because of his enthusiasm and playful energy, he would do best in a home with older children.

**Bobby will do great with an active family! **
