Cobby

Cobby is an adoptable male Jack Russell Terrier looking for a home at NYC ACC-Queens in Ridgewood, New York. He is fully grown and medium in size. He is listed on the shelter's euthanasia list, listed due to behavior, and that date has now passed. Shelters often move these dates, so Cobby may still be waiting. The shelter can confirm.

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information. This pet is available only through ACC New Hope partners. To adopt or foster, please complete the pre-screener form below. Inquiries sent directly to ACC will not receive a response. Pre-Screener Form Cobby is at risk due to behavioral concerns. In the Care Centers, Cobby is highly fearful, especially when placed on a slip lead. He was observed to thrash and screech. He allows staff to pick him up but remains anxious in the room. His owner described him as a social, tolerant dog. Medically, Cobby is obese and has otitis externa. Cobby was surrendered to the Care Centers due to landlord and neighbor issues with the previous owners. His previous owners described him as a social and affectionate dog. He can be lazy at times and playful at others. He was reported to bark and growl at strangers. During his stay in care, Cobby has been highly fearful and has avoided walking on a leash with staff. He has baulked on the leash, refused to walk forward, and needed to be carried. He is also noted to be heavily panting, attempting to seek exit while whimpering. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and reevaluate her behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home.
