My personality

Why I need a new home

Fostered

My story

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


Dobby is a survivor. For six years, he roamed the streets of Pristina, Kosovo—dodging roundups, hunger, and locals who abused strays like him. He lost an eye and half his tail as a result of human cruelty, but he hasn't lost his gentleness. After a 15-hour flight to the U.S., he’s discovering safety for the first time. He let me bathe him on his first night, learned to trust, and now sleeps curled beside me every night. Dobby is fully housetrained, neutered, vaccinated, and gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes. He has warmed up to my cat and is now fully integrated into my little "pack." He follows my older dog’s lead, loves quiet company, and rests deeply—finally able to relax. He’s not high-energy; he’s content with warmth, softness, and love. Dobby deserves a calm home with patient, experienced dog owners.
