Story
Dobby is a sweet terrier mix whose estimated DOB is 10/1/2012 and he weighs 13 pounds. He was found wandering stray, so we don't know about his past. He was in a state of severe neglect and needed medical attention. Since arriving at our shelter, Dobby has had some teeth and an eye removed, which has helped him feel much better. He has lameness on both rear legs as well. We can tell you that little 13-year-old Dobby, in spite of it all, is still loving and even playful! He likes people, treats, and toys; maybe not in that order, lol! He likes to be held and cuddle in a warm lap. So come meet Dobby today and give him the loving home, toys and lap that he deserves so he can spend the rest of his life in TLC instead of neglect.Our adoption fee is $125 for small breed dogs under 20 pounds and $100 for all other dogs and cats unless otherwise noted in their bio. Every pet available for adoption is current on shots spayed/neutered, and microchipped. You may submit an application online for pre-approval and to set an appointment or you can visit the shelter Wednesday - Sunday from 11am - 5pm. Please note that the kennels close for pet viewing at 4:30pm.
