Name: Bobby Miracle Boy
Brand: Rose's Rescue

Patterdale Terrier (Fell Terrier)/Terrier

Rootstown, OHAvailable for adoption0 views

Our Bobby was found on the street, so matted that he had to be shaved to the skin, but also so emaciated, so weak, so starved, he could barely lift his head. He looked more like a carcass than a dog. His body scale score was a one. Usually when it’s that low, a dog’s organs start shutting down and they don’t survive. But not Bobby! He spent a week and a half at the vet, and he came to Rose’s Rescue the day he was released from their care.

To say he’s made a remarkable recovery is an understatement! He gained weight steadily and before long, you could no longer see his ribs. His hair is coming back in so what once was bare skin is now covered with beautiful black fur.

Because of his unique situation, he will need a home that fits certain criteria.

He cannot go to a home with young children. Because he was so starved, he may enthusiastically snatch at any food he can reach - he may NOT be careful of fingers holding onto a cookie or pbj sandwich.

He cannot go to a home with small animals or birds - to Bobby, they would be food. We do not know how he would be with cats.

He must have a fenced yard.

Now for the positives: Bobby LOVES other dogs! He would love, love, love to have another canine pal (or more) to romp with. But be warned, he can already be high energy and very playful. If he teams up with another rascally pooch, it could mean crazy, over-the-top playtime!

Bobby is a good car-rider. He is also crate-trained, and sleeps in a crate at night (in view of his foster mom’s bed) and is content in his crate while she is away.

He’s a great watch dog - but he is serious about “stranger-danger” barking. He will warm up to some folks right away and others not so much. We haven’t figured out his criteria yet for who he likes immediately and who he isn’t as keen on.

Bobby LOVES his humans!
He loves attention - especially being scratched on the back of his neck - he thinks that feels oh so good!.
He’s young and loves to play.
He loves to run through the yard and explore.
He loves treats and is very food-motivated so very teachable

In short, his enthusiasm for the best things in a dog’s life knows no bounds.

What breed is Bobby? He very much looks like a Patterdale Terrier (rough/broken coat) in every way - size, body shape, ears, and even the unusual length of his tail. What’s more, he ACTS like that terrier breed 100%. But, that is not a breed that’s known to be found in this area, so with that in mind, it’s just a guess and frankly, we have no idea what he is. In his picture from before he was shaved, he looked like a poodle, but his hair was so matted it was hard to say. His hair, so far, isn’t coming in curly but it’s too early to see that for sure. Maybe some schnauzer? For sure a lot of terrier in there, too, as that absolutely fits his personality.

A small group of volunteers..no paid employees. Our dogs are in area foster homes or they are housed at Rose's..in a heated pole building with a "bedroom" (toddler beds, a chair and a radio..so they can keep up on current events) with a dog door to a small fenced area to potty in through out the day and night. Then they get to play in a four acre fenced in area and swim in the pond every day too! We do not have a "shelter" per se and only under special circumstances are any of our animals "kenneled". They are very well socialized with people and other animals, which makes it much easier to know their temperaments. We do NOT take owner surrenders. But we will do courtesy posts for pets that are vetted and in need of homes. OUR MISSION STATEMENT Rose's Rescue is an all breed rescue for dogs and cats. We primarily concentrate on local pound rescues as we feel these are the animals in the most dire need of a second chance. We are committed to finding the best possible home for each, and every animal that comes into our rescue and we are available to help with any training or behavioral issues for the life of each animal. Rose's Rescue requires that any animal adopted through our organization be returned to us if for any reason the family is no longer able to care for them. Rose's Rescue is also committed to educating the public on the importance of spay and neuter, routine vaccinations, heartworm protection for dogs, and aids and leukemia testing for cats. According to the Humane Society of American over 4 million dogs, cats, kittens and puppies are killed each year. It is our goal to some day see no adoptable pets euthanized. Every two months, Rose’s Rescue chooses a few special candidates for a new class of dogs to be trained at the Trumbull Correctional Institution near Warren, Ohio. While enrolled in this program, each dog will be trained by selected inmates and overseen by professional dog trainer Bill Oliver (www.customcaninecompany.com) who generously volunteers his time with this laudable project. Upon completion of their training, cell dogs will have learned important socialization skills, have mastered basic obedience commands, and be fully housebroken. They will also be taught tricks to entertain their future families and friends, such as sitting pretty, playing dead, and give a high five. All dogs can be visited (by appointment and accompanied by a Rose’s Rescue representative) while at the prison. They can be adopted upon graduation, or occasionally sooner if a dog has done exceptionally well and is deemed ready to leave before the class is actually finished. All of our current cell dogs or graduates are designated as such in their individual descriptions in the “Our Adoptables” section of this website. If you’d like to get a jump-start on training your new pet, consider adopting a Rose’s Rescue cell dog!
