Adopting a dog is a life-changing experience, especially a Bob’s House dog, because they are often senior or special needs dogs. Please take time to research what that means before making this decision.
Many people automatically think of a puppy when they think of adding a dog to their family. Sure, puppies are cute and cuddly and everyone want to snuggle them, but lets face it, puppies are a lot of work! At Bob’s House, we love a puppy as much as the next person, but we’ve found that our seniors not only have the same cuddles and kisses that puppies have, but they are quieter, more content, and are happy just being near you.
Harold, a sweet senior mix, arrived at Bob’s House for Dogs in April 2019. Harold won over the hearts of staff and volunteers in no time!
After losing her dog unexpectedly, Amy Peck decided her house wasn’t a home without a dog. She and her husband turned to Bob’s House and decided to be a foster home for Harold. Upon meeting for the first time, Harold put his front feet on Amy’s legs and rested his head on her lap. At the couple’s home, Harold walked in like that was where he was meant to be. They knew he should become a permanent part of the family.
Harold’s arrival was good for both him and Amy. He might have been 12, but he loved to go on adventures, and she was happy to oblige — even though he was blind, and she has multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia. When she was anxious or in pain, he comforted her, and she was happy to return the favor with a hug or snuggle until he passed away.
