Hobbs

Meet Hobbs! A hound/lab mix, 7 yrs old, ~75lbs, Hobbs is looking for a home that can give him the attention and environment he needs to thrive.

Are you looking for a dog that is affectionate, housebroken, loves treats, going on walks and lounging on the couch? Hobbs has been a wonderful part of the family for 5 years but our family has changed a lot since then-- with 2 kids and now 2 full-time jobs and frequent moves due to the military, we just don't have the stability Hobbs deserves and needs.

We’ve recently seen signs of protective aggression when left alone with caretakers, particularly babysitters. These incidents have made us realize he would do best in a home without young children.

Hobbs would be an amazing addition to your stable home where he can get daily walks, treats, and attention. He thrives when he knows his people and routine.

He is neutered, up-to-date on shots, and comes with all his supplies (bed, crate, toys, etc.).

It's hard to make this decision, but we believe it’s what’s best for him and our family. Please reach out if you’re interested in meeting and think your home might be the right fit.
