AvailableDobby

If you’re looking for a cuddly, curly little goofball with legs for days and a personality as big as his perfect underbite, meet Dobby! This handsome 1-year-old Poodle mix weighs 19 pounds and is an absolute lovebug. With his hypoallergenic velvety cream-colored coat and sweet hazel eyes, he charms just about everyone he meets.

Dobby is a playful, affectionate, high-energy puppy who loves having fun. At home, he’s perfectly happy entertaining himself with his many, many toys—although wrestling and playing with his foster dog brother is definitely his favorite activity. He’s smart, food-motivated, eager to please, and already knows “sit,” “touch,” and “crate.”

Like any young pup, Dobby is still learning his manners and will need a family committed to consistent training, exercise, enrichment, and structure. He has a herding instinct and can get mouthy when excited, sometimes nipping at hands and calves. It’s playful puppy behavior, not aggression, but those little teeth can definitely pinch! He also gets very vocal when he sees dogs or people across the street—mostly because he has a serious case of FOMO and desperately wants to say hello. Once he actually meets people, though, he quickly transforms into the biggest cuddle bug. He’s also incredibly gentle and sweet with neighborhood kids.

Dobby is still working on potty training, so his new family will need patience and consistency as he gets back on track. He also has some separation anxiety and can whine, cry, and bark when crated or left alone, so continued work on building his confidence and comfort with alone time will be important.

This clever little guy has so much potential. With a consistent routine, positive reinforcement, plenty of activity, and training guidance, Dobby is going to blossom into an amazing companion. He’d love a balanced, playful dog sibling to show him the ropes, but he could also thrive as your one-and-only with plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment.

Dobby is neutered, up to date on vaccines, house-trained in progress, and ready to find a family who will love his goofy, cuddly, energetic self through all the puppy antics.
