Life is always better with a little Dobbie in it. It's me... Dobbie — a 3½ year old, 62 pound bundle of energy and brains. I was found as a stray, but I’m more than ready to settle into a loving forever home. I’m house-broken, crate-trained, leash-trained, and pretty smart too. I know sit, I’m good at fetch, I can stay (most of the time), and I know how to use a doggie door like a champ. I love structure, praise, and playtime, especially when it involves running full speed across a yard and bringing a ball back with pride. A home with a privacy-fenced yard is a must for me. I will happily use every inch of it for running, fetch, and joyful exploration. I do best as an only dog or with a female dog companion. I am friendly with female dogs but do not get along with male dogs. A home without small children is best, as I tend to herd smaller dogs and can be a bit too enthusiastic for little ones. Personal space is not part of my vocabulary. I love being right by your side and staying close to my people at all times. Loyalty and companionship are my favorite things. I enjoy playing with ropes and toys, though tug-of-war is not really my style. I prefer happy, playful games and lots of shared time together. I am a loving, active, and affectionate boy who is ready to bring energy, devotion, and joy into the right home. Let’s Dobbie-t up some fun! My adoption fee is $150 and includes my spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip!
