About Dobbie

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Dobbie is a sweet and intelligent young dog eagerly searching for a loving home. At just 9 months old, he has spent his early months living in a crate after being backyard bred and surrendered to rescue when he wasn't adopted. Despite his challenging start, Dobbie shines in public settings—he is calm, well-mannered, and shows no reactivity. He truly excels with other dogs and enjoys their company. Dobbie is missing one eye after an injury from his dad when he was young, but that hasn't slowed him down one bit! He remains joyful and resilient, ready to bring happiness into your life. For his well-being, Dobbie must be adopted into a home (no apartments) with a securely fenced yard and no small children. This requirement is non-negotiable due to his background and needs—only applicants with a suitable home will be considered. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped, so he's all set for his forever family.
