My name is Dobbie!

Meet Dobbie the Dobie – A Resilient Tripod with a Heart of Gold

Dobbie is a sweet, sensitive boy who’s been through a lot. After a traumatic injury, he had one of his legs amputated — but he’s healing beautifully and adjusting to life on three legs with quiet bravery.

He’s currently in a foster home where he's learning that the world can be safe and kind. Dobbie is gentle and loving, but emotionally sensitive. Loud noises and quick movements scare him, so he needs a calm, quiet home with trauma-informed, patient guardians.

Ideal Home:

Quiet, predictable environment
No small children
Carpet or rugs preferred (he struggles on hardwood)
Prior dog experience highly recommended
A ramp for car access would help

With Others:

Dog-friendly with proper introductions
Shy but kind with strangers (needs slow approaches)
Not a fan of head or body pets — prefers gentle chin rubs
Needs continued positive reinforcement training

Dobbie has shown some separation anxiety and does best crated when alone. He’s potty trained but may mark when adjusting to a new space.

Dobbie is truly special. With the right home, he’ll flourish into a loyal, loving companion. Are you the one to give him his second chance?
