Bobby

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Bobby is a real whirlwind of energy who loves to be kept busy and stay on the go! If you're looking for a new bestie who can share all your adventures, enjoy lots of long walks before returning home to have snuggles on the sofa Bobby might be just what you're looking for. His new family will need to commit to his ongoing training, but with his clever brain we're sure he'll make lots of positive progress. Meet Bobby, a friendly and fun loving Pointer cross who is full of energy and would thrive in a active home. He’s looking for a family who can give him plenty of exercise, including long walks, adventures and lots of time and attention. Bobby has been friendly with everyone here at the centre but is a boisterous and excitable boy so would do best in a home with upper secondary children. He has been housetrained and whilst has spent short periods alone we recommend this is gradually built up slowly as he settles in as he can feel anxious at times. Bobby can be frustrated when meeting dogs out on walks and has been working on his social skills here at the centre however he isn't ready to share his home just yet. It's important Bobby can have access to quieter areas for his walkies and would love access to a secure field where he can safely burn off his energy!

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Trust Kenilworth in Kenilworth.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bobby, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bobby?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Kenilworth handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bobby on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bobby if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Kenilworth will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Bobby already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bobby isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dogs Trust Kenilworth early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bobby and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
