Story
Meet Dobby, the house elf of your dreams—except, instead of magic, he’s got a tail that wags in excitement and a heart full of love! Dobby is house and crate trained, so there’s no need to worry about any “mischief” in the house. He’s well-behaved in public, although he might occasionally bark to say “hello” to those who crosses his path—he just can’t help himself, he’s so friendly!
When it comes to walks, Dobby’s a “wand-erful” leash walker in the neighborhood, but when out and about, he might pull in excitement—he just has a bit of a “spell” of adventure! He’s also a master at fetch and LOVES toys—especially tough chew toys that’ll stand up to his magical chewing powers. After a walk, he’ll either be snuggled up on his dog bed or curled next to you, relaxing like the “elf” of the house he is.
Dobby is also an excellent car rider—he’s calm and ready for any adventure, as long as he’s with you. He’s done well with children, but due to his excitement, he may jump up in joy—so older children who can handle his enthusiasm would be ideal!
When Dobby first arrived, he had alopecia (no magic here for instant fur growth), but he’s slowly regrowing it—just in time for sweater weather, which he LOVES to wear. In warmer months, he’ll need some pet-safe sunscreen to keep him protected as he enjoys the sunshine.
Treat-motivated and eager to please, Dobby is a loyal companion who’s ready to share his love with his new family. If you’re looking for a truly “charmed” dog who’s got the perfect balance of play and relaxation, Dobby’s ready to join your household and make it magical!
Dobby has had very positive experiences with other dogs. He does sometimes bark to try to get their attention, so he'd do best with a canine pal who can tolerate this at times. As always, we strongly recommend bringing any resident dogs to the shelter for a meet and greet with potential new family members to be sure it's a good match. If bringing a dog for a meet and greet, please bring proof of up to date rabies, bordetella, and DHPP vaccines.
We also think Dobby could potentially learn to live with cats.
To meet Dobby, text his foster mom Anne at (336) 451-4159 to make an appointment!
