Looking for a sweet senior pup to add to your family? Meet Bob! 🐾

Bob was originally adopted from Boone County Animal Shelter back in 2015, but through no fault of his own, he has found himself back in our care. At around 32 lbs and 10 years old Bob is the perfect “not too big, not too small” size. Understandably, he’s a little confused about why he’s at the shelter again, but what he wants most is a loving home to spend his golden years in.

If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion who will be forever grateful for a second chance, Bob would love to meet you. 💛
