Jobi is 4 years old . best guestamate. He is from ohio animal shelter society.
He was owner surrendered by animal hoarders, so i am assuming they were given an option to surrender him or have him taken away. They said they got him from a "give-away". The animal shelter society said he was not good with people and were putting him down. Pixie mama rescue took him back to Buffalo and fostered him. They said his hair was matted to his skin. they had to shave him completely. My sister and 4 members of my family drove down from Toronto, Canada to Niagara falls where the rescue was kind enough to drive to, to get him. Jobi went through serious separation anxiety. messing in the room and running through it all day, howling and jumping for 9 hours when I left for work. yet others were home. head butting the kennel if i put him in it ect. BUt now the sun is shining and he is in obedience and he is finally giving me kisses, which took a year and a half. He is sniffing other dogs and happily eating my nieces barbie collection.. life is good.
