Dobby's Story

Meet Dobby, a sweet, playful yet gentle soul looking for his forever home. <br/>Dobby and his brother arrived at the shelter on January 7, 2026, when their owner could no longer care for so many animals. Shelter life has been a big adjustment for them, and at first they were very scared-shaking quietly in their kennel and unsure of their new surroundings. Dobby seems a little more out going amor settling in a little quicker from his brother. What brings them comfort is human kindness; they truly light up when volunteers or staff stop in to give them love and reassurance. Be ready for all of Dobby kisses. He will gladly share them with you. <br/>Each day, Dobby grows a little braver as he watches other shelter friends head out for walks and outings. Just like his siblings before him, he is learning that the world isn't such a scary place after all.<br/>Dobby is 1 year and 3 months old, current on all his vaccinations, and hoping his shelter stay will be short. When carried outside, he was nervous at first, but he followed along closely...then we found a squeaky toy and man his personality came alive. He absolutely loves to play chase with a squeaky today. Catches and retrieves it. So fun to watch him play and be a happy goofy pup. <br/>Dobby will thrive in a patient, loving home that understands he needs a little time to settle in and learn the ropes. A less stressful environment filled with security, kindness, and encouragement will help him blossom once in a home . Once he does, be ready for unconditional love, sweet kisses, and a lifetime of loyalty and companionship.<br/>Could you be the perfect FOREVER home Dobby has been waiting for?
