🩷 Adopt Dobby 🩷 (Available in BC, Canada and WA, USA)
Hi, I’m Dobby 🐾 - a gentle and thoughtful boy ready to find a loving family. Breed: Border Collie / Pointer mix Age: 5.5 years Gender: Male, neutered Weight: 26 lbs (12 kg) Height: 17 in (42 cm) Energy Level: Moderate
My story started with a lot of uncertainty. When I was about five months old, I was abandoned by my previous owner and ended up in a poorly run pet shop. I was kept in a tiny crowded room with too many other dogs, and we were all extremely stressed from the lack of space, exercise, and proper care. It’s believed that I was handled roughly there too, especially around my collar, which made it hard for me to trust people at first.
Thankfully, compassionate people rescued me in October 2022 and brought me to a caring dog hotel where I could finally feel safe. Since then, I’ve been learning what love, kindness, and comfort feel like — and I’ve made amazing progress.
I can be a little shy when meeting strangers, but I warm up quickly, especially if treats are involved! I’m very food-motivated and will happily approach new people for snacks. Once I feel comfortable, I’ll even roll over and show you my belly.
Because I had repeated ear infections in the past, I’m sensitive about my ears being touched. Other than that, I enjoy affection and don’t mind being handled gently.
When meeting other dogs, I’m polite and gentle, though I’m not usually interested in playing. Because of my difficult past, I sometimes get jealous when I have to share my humans’ attention with other dogs. I really love bonding closely with my people, so a home where I can be the only dog would help me feel the most secure and happy.
Even when I see cats during walks, I stay focused on my handler, which shows how connected and attentive I can be.
What I’m looking for most is a patient, loving family who will continue helping me build confidence and enjoy the safe, peaceful life I deserve. Once you earn my trust, I’ll be the sweetest, most loyal little companion by your side.
Love, Dobby 💛
