Say hello to Dobby, a 4–6 month old Boxer/Chihuahua mix (we think — and yes, we’re as confused as you are 😂). He was named by our amazing Facebook followers as part of a group of uniquely-named pups based on their looks, and honestly… the name could not be more perfect.
Just like his magical namesake, Dobby is a free-spirited, loyal little goofball who is basically Dobby the House Pup. He’s sweet, gangly, and full of that “did I just trip over my own feet?” kind of charm. He’s expected to be a medium-ish sized dog when fully grown — perfectly sized for adventures and couch cuddles.
✨ Dobby’s special powers include: • Turning regular toys into magical treasure • Casting “Zoomius Maximus” during playtime • Making messes disappear (by redistributing them around the room)
He’s playful, a little ornery in the cutest way, and loves to roughhouse and wrestle with toys. He’s still learning his puppy manners, but he’s got a heart full of mischief and love.
And don’t worry — Dobby is a free elf… he just needs a forever home instead of a sock. 🧦🐶
If you’re ready for some magic, laughs, and puppy chaos, Dobby is ready to be loyal to you forever.
📍 Available for adoption now 🪄 Come meet your very own house puppy elf!
