Story
It’s Dobby, the big boy with a big heart! He’s 5 years old and 77 pounds of affection (including a few extra he could stand to shed). We suspect he is a Great Dane / terrier mix. This guy is sweet and friendly to everyone, kids included. He wants to give kisses to every person he meets, and be snuggled close to you at home.
Would you believe Dobby is also a gentle angel? He’s polite, housebroken, crate-trained, and knows tons of commands, including: Sit, Stay, Come, Leave It, Outside (he will let you know with a little whimper if he'd like to go outside to use the bathroom), Inside (to go indoors to into his crate), Off (to jump down from furniture), Bed (to lie down for the evening or take a nap), and Eat (his favorite! no matter what he's doing he will come when you say this, so make sure you have some food ready). This pup has been trained so well he's conditioned to sit and wait to eat until after you've said "Grace" and said "Amen". Yes, he's a real gentleman. He learned these skills from his previous family who unfortunately gave him up due to medical issues. He does love to walk also and enjoys playing fetch (but make sure you have two balls as he's reluctant to drop it when there is "only" one!)
Dobby loves playing in the yard and walking around the block, but despite his size he doesn’t need a huge amount of activity. He especially loves tug of war and fetch - he'll bring the toy back to you and expect you to tug on it for a couple of seconds, but once you tell him "Leave it" he’ll let go and start the game again. When playtime is over he has no problem calming down. He is very treat motivated and will do anything for a treat, but he has no food aggression, so he will take any size treat from your hand gently. He would love to sleep at the foot of your bed but he's perfectly happy in his own bed, especially if it’s placed in front of a door or window. He can be dog selective so he may be better as an only dog, but we will update as we learn more.
