About Dobby
All About Me and My Unique Personality:
Hi, I'm Dobby! I can be a little nervous when I meet new people but I am such a sweet boy who just wants to be loved, patted and cuddled by my humans. Once I warm up, I'm quite playful and I really love walk time. I will sit for treats and take them very gently off you. I am great with other dogs once I feel safe and love to wrestle and play with my foster dog brother. As I have had a rough few weeks, I am currently on some medication for anxiety to help me calm my nerves and settle, but it is expected I will be weaned off these with a vets guidance once I feel safe and secure.
My Ideal Home:
My ideal home would be with a single person or couple who will let me come inside and onto their lap for cuddles. As I am still young, I do enjoy my daily walks, but it doesn't take much to wear me out. I love to spend time with my favourite people so would love to live with someone who can spend their days with me. I really love living with my foster dog brother so a home with another dog would be suitable also, although not essential.
What is Known About My Background:
Sadly I was surrendered to the pound as my owner passed away. In my previous home I lived with another little dog and we got along well. I have only ever had one owner and haven't coped very well with losing my best friend and having my world turned upside down. When I got to the pound I was terrified and was not eating very well or interacting with the humans or other dogs there. I was very shaky and anxious in my kennel and so was put on medication to help me relax and sleep. Since arriving at my foster home, I have settled in really well and love my foster mum and foster dog brother so much. It doesn't take me long to trust once I know I'm safe and not going back to the pound!
How Do I Interact with Kids, Dogs, Cats and Other Pets:
I am great with other dogs, once I feel safe and love to wrestle and play chasies around the yard. I have met the two cats at my foster home and haven't shown any signs of aggression so it is expected with patience and a gentle introduction to a dog friendly cat, that this would be okay. As I am an anxious boy and loud noises and fast movements can startle me, it is expected that small children or a busy or noisy household would overwhelm me.
