About Dobby

Dobby holds a special place in our hearts. He tends to be skittish and is not fond of leaving home, making a calm and patient environment essential for him. Ideally, Dobby would thrive in a household without young children, or with older kids who can provide him the space he requires to adjust. At two years old, Dobby is a mix of Hound and Great Dane, with a charmingly ditzy personality. He has learned how to sit, but prefers to be true to himself rather than conforming to commands. Dobby faces some physical challenges, including suspected wobbler syndrome and hip/elbow dysplasia. This means he needs a family prepared to offer him extra care and understanding, as he may need accommodations like carpeted areas to help with traction on hard floors. Patience is key, as Dobby sometimes takes a little longer to maneuver around. He deserves a loving environment that fully supports his unique needs. Click apply to start the adoption process.
