My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Dobby!
Dobby is an 11½-year-old, 12-lb pup I adopted from the SPCA when he was 1, and he has been a loyal, loving companion ever since. He enjoys daily walks, short hikes, and plenty of cozy couch time. He would absolutely thrive in a quiet, child-free home where he can spend his senior years feeling calm, secure, and relaxed. Over the past few years, we’ve added two toddlers to our family, and although Dobby has never been reactive or dangerous, the constant movement, noise, and unpredictability clearly leave him feeling stressed. Rehoming him is a genuinely difficult decision, but our goal is to give him the comfortable environment he deserves.

He is crate trained, affectionate, very food-motivated, and knows several basic commands and a few tricks. We also have a vet visit scheduled soon, so he can go to his new home with a clean bill of health and updated vaccinations.

If you’re interested in Dobby or would like more information, please reach out!
