Story
Looking for a dog for all seasons, a dog of many talents, jack of all trades, adventure by day - cuddle buddy by night type of pal? We'll you're in luck because Dobbie Boy is everything you could want in a companion and more. He's affectionate, loves to learn, dog friendly, loves people, is an affectionate guy, and an all around good boy. He's a master of all, paw-some at everything, hence why we added the "ultimate paw-some buddy" to his name because he really is an awesome dog that can do it all.
Watch his video and you'll be wanting to take him home: https://youtu.be/h4vdQwWJVX4?si=NIuPFo9-5XkTRk2W
Dobbie is believed to be a lab/GSD mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs 44 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
Dobbie is dog friendly and is very small dog friendly too! He is actually currently fostered with 3 small chihuahua's under 10 lbs and does fantastic with them. He does want to play with them and he his foster mom says that her little chi's are not the most playful with bigger dogs and can be a little spicy with bigger dogs and Dobbie is not phased at all. He shares affection, treats (even steak) around other dogs with no issues. He is also fostered with 2 large breed dogs and does great with them as well. Dobbie is a playful guy with other dogs and he loves to romp around the yard with them, play chase, and engage in those rumble and tumble wrestling matches. In a home, he would be best placed with a dog that enjoys roughhousing and doesn't mind letting Dobbie know if they need a play break or if the play gets a little too rough. Dobbie listens to corrections very well with other dogs and sometimes needs a little reminder here and there. He's just a young playful guy that likes to have a good time. After a good play session, he loves to hangout in the yard and explore with other dogs. Dobbie would also do best in a kitty free home.
Dobbie will happily be your partner in crime. He has an adventurous side to him and loves to explore new places, enjoys walking through trails, smelling all the new smells and just enjoying the great outdoors. Dobbie's leash skills are impressive as well. He hardly ever pulls and only pulls occasionally when he wants to go say hello to a new human friend or doggie friend. It doesn’t take much to correct him either, a simple leash correction and check in with his handler is all it takes. His foster mom even says that he already has a great recall and she loves teaching him new things. Dobbie is super smart and wants to please his people! He is able to pick up a new trick within minutes. His willingness to learn and eagerness to please means that any additional training you want to do with him with be easy and fun for you both. Dobbie would actually love it if his people like teaching their dog tricks because he really does love to learn and make you happy. He is already crate trained, potty trained, and has been known to stay in his crate for up to 5 hours with no issues. His foster mom is able to come home and give him potty breaks through out the day on occasion depending on the day and she says he is also so happy to see her. He is not destructive, has great house manners, can entertain himself and isn’t always getting into things he’s not supposed to.
Dobbie loves toys and will happily lounge on the couch nibbling on a stuffy or tossing it in the air playing by himself. If you watched his video you saw just how great he is about entertaining himself while you're watching a movie or even working out. He hangs out at the gym everyday while his foster mom works out and she says he is the best workout partner. Overall, Dobbie has a perfectly balanced energy about him and would do best in a semi active home with a backyard. His foster says he’s the perfect mix of playful and calm. He is the best of both worlds and a dog that can do it all. When he’s not out on adventures with you, playing in the backyard for a game of fetch, learning new tricks, or enjoying playtime with other dogs, he’s a chill guy snuggling with you on the couch or relaxing on his bed. We also believe that Dobbie has the potential of being a great family dog as well. He has been around kids as young as 10 years old and loves them! He likes the fact that they can play with him and also shower him with affection. Just imagine Dobbie in the backyard with your kids all playing soccer together. Those are some core memories right there that your kids will cherish forever.
We are willing to test Dobbie Boy with anything you need us to in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!
You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.
While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
