Meet Sir Dobby – a truly special 2.5-year-old Shepherd/Hound mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality. Dobby’s journey hasn’t been the easiest. He was originally saved from Tennessee, from an area where life is often unkind to dogs like him. Thankfully, he made his way to New Jersey and found a wonderful home that loved him deeply and worked hard to help him feel safe and secure. For the past year and a half, his family devoted themselves to helping Dobby overcome his fears, especially around very young children. While he was always fantastic with their older child and did beautifully in so many ways, it became clear that Dobby would be happiest in a home without little kids. Letting him go was heartbreaking, but they love him enough to do what’s best for him. Outside of that one challenge, Dobby is described as an amazing dog. He is affectionate, playful, and loves being with his people. He enjoys the company of other dogs, goes to daycare, and would likely thrive in a home with a confident canine companion. He’s good with adults, though hats and hoods can sometimes startle him at first, but all he does is bark until you take it off. Dobby is house trained, crate trained, and has all the manners of a well-loved pet. He is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines—ready to start his next chapter. Sir Dobby is looking for a calm, understanding home where he can relax, feel safe, and be the loyal, loving companion he was always meant to be. Whoever adopts him will be getting a truly wonderful dog.
