Dobby

Good with adults? Yes Good with kids? Unknown Good with other dogs? Yes Good with cats? Unknown House trained? In training Crate Trained? No Energy Level? Medium Barker? Yes About Dobby: Dobby is nervous of new people, but once she warms up to you, she loves to play and cuddle, and will curl up in your lap for a snooze. She barks at new people out of fear and will need some gentle reassurance and patience to show her that people can be trusted. Dobby absolutely loves to play with other dogs! She is very submissive, but she is still very young and full of energy so might bother an older dog with her puppy like energy and love of playing. With the right energy match, she would love another dog in the home to play with. Dobby is learning to enjoy walks and has slowly gotten used to being on a leash. She is still very scared of the loud noises around her, but with some time and training she will continue to improve with her confidence. Due to her extreme nervousness when she arrived, Dobby has only been potty trained on puppy pads so far. She is consistently using the puppy pad and will need some training to help her transition to going outside. Dobby is not crate trained and does not see the crate as a safe space. Dobby had a tough beginning to her life that gave her reason to be nervous. She has some missing patches of fur from stress which are now growing in nicely now that she is feeling more settled and is getting bathed once a week with a special shampoo. Dobby is still very much a puppy that loves to play with toys and is very eager to learn. She is looking for a loving and patient family that has the time and patience to show her that this world is not so scary, and that people can be trusted to love and care for her in the way that she deserves. ***Woof..
