Dear Cobi would make a very loyal, loving pet in the right home. He came to Last Chance Animal Rescue located in Edenbridge, Kent, from the Welsh pound.
Cobi is a 12 year old, tan and white Jack Russell and was soon adopted by a couple who had him for three years during which he had a troubled life. Cobi would be forced to do things that he did not want to do, including wearing a too-small harness and going out in heavy rain and thunderstorms. Cobi is scared of loud bangs, so this would have absolutely terrified poor Cobi. Because of this, he became fear aggressive towards the couple, which ended up with him being returned for ‘bad behaviour’.
Cobi has had two homes since and, understandably, he now prefers a female owner. He will become attached to one person so he is also better suited to a one-person home. Cobi loves to play fetch with tennis balls and will play for hours. He is very clever and is good at working out enrichment toys; he specifically loves liver treats and cut-up dog sausages put in a snuffle mat, where he can spend ages working out how to get every crumb out.
Cobi can be very affectionate on his own terms, but he will warn you when he has had enough. Due to having developed behavioural issues, Cobi has a bite history, so he will need an experienced and understanding owner. He can be fearful of loud noises, specifically thunderstorms and fireworks. He will become very stressed, pant, and try to hide behind his bed and under blankets. He is best left with a loud radio to drown out the noise and to be left alone.
