Bobby

Bobby, a Shih Tzu mix (approx. 12 kg), came to us at Sonnenhof via one of our member associations. He originally came to the animal shelter because his previous owner, unfortunately, could no longer care for him adequately due to illness. Bobby is a rather independent dog who doesn't constantly seek human companionship. However, once he has gained trust and taken someone into his heart, he proves to be an exceptionally sweet and pleasant companion. He likes to approach his caregivers on his own and enjoys occasional petting. He prefers to decide for himself when he wants closeness and when he would rather be alone. Bobby can react very differently to people he can't connect with. Sometimes he keeps his distance or withdraws, while in other situations he may show his displeasure by barking and even becoming aggressive. Therefore, it is important that his future loved ones can read his body language well and give him the necessary time to build trust. Bobby has probably not received the upbringing and guidance he needed in his life so far. Therefore, he is looking for experienced dog owners who are willing to provide him with security and reliable daily routines and to support him with calm and understanding. Bobby gets along with other dogs depending on their compatibility. We are looking for experienced dog owners for Bobby who are aware of his unique personality and understand that his trust is not something to be taken for granted. Anyone who gives him the necessary time and engages with him in his own individual way will get to know a very sweet dog who enjoys the moments he shares with his people in his own unique way. We wish for him a quiet home with people who have experience with dogs and are willing to get to know and accept Bobby as he is. A thorough and calm getting-to-know-you period is particularly important to us, so that both sides can find out if they are a good match. The adoption process for one of our dogs usually proceeds as follows: At least three visits to Sonnenhof are planned. These visits are very important to us, because during this time you can get to know your potential new companion, and he can get to know you. Before the dog can finally move in with you, we will conduct a home visit.
