About Dobby

Dobby, also known as "The Sock Was a Mistake," is a 1.5-year-old female Chihuahua/Dachshund mix weighing 11 lbs. She’s all about forming deep connections, so if you’re planning to adopt her, get ready for a full-on cuddle buddy. Dobby does not want freedom; she craves companionship and will happily sit in your lap while gazing up at you with her enormous, expressive eyes. She’s playful and loves her toys, easily engaging in fetch games and walks well on a leash. However, Dobby has significant separation anxiety. She strongly dislikes being left alone and can become destructive. If you work from home or are a retiree who enjoys the company of a loving dog, she could be the perfect fit. Dobby is also somewhat wary of strangers, barking initially until she gets used to them. Though she might be hesitant at first, her loyalty runs deep once trust is established. What Dobby truly needs is the right person—someone patient and understanding of her quirks; not someone anticipating a quick fix. If you’re committed to being by her side throughout the day, Dobby will reward you with deep affection and companionship. This precious girl is available for adoption and is ready for her forever home. Think you can offer Dobby the consistency she craves? Apply now!
