About Dobby

Meet your new favorite elf, Dobby! Dobby is a charming 2.5-year-old Chihuahua mix with long legs and floppy ears, weighing around 13 pounds. Following a family tragedy, he's on the lookout for a loving forever home—could yours be the one he’s searching for? Dobby thrives on activities like chasing balls and sunbathing in the yard. He's quite the protector, keeping an eye out for squirrels and birds, so a fenced yard is essential for his new home. Although he barks at other dogs during walks, he’s friendly and gets along well with the dogs in his foster home, making additional training on leash manners a possibility. Dobby loves company and shows excitement by jumping high or fetching his favorite sock. He’s crate trained, using it as his safe space when he needs a break. Neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations, Dobby's also microchipped and on heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is $300. If you're interested in adopting Dobby, please submit an application instead of emailing. Ready to give him a loving home?
