***********************************

BACKGROUND: Dobby has had quite an adventure! He was found as a stray in rural Arkansas and after spending time at a local shelter, he found his way to a rescue group. Recognizing what a special boy he was transported to St. Louis where his adoption prospects would be much better.

PERSONALITY: Dobby is a wonderful boy and loves people and dogs alike. He enjoys his play time but is just as happy to chill with his foster family. In his foster home, Dobby loves having a foster sibling and plays hard with her.

HOUSEKEEPING HABITS: When taken out regularly, Dobby displays excellent potty habits. In a new home, he may need some fine tuning depending on the owner's work schedule.

BEDTIME: Dobby is such a good boy at night time! He sleeps in his kennel all night long without a peep and delights in burrowing in his fleece blankets.

LET'S GO WALKING!: Dobby is excellent on leashed walks but would love a fenced yard.

DINNER TIME: This boy loves his food and has a great appetite.

HEALTH: Dobby is in great health and is up to date on rabies and all routine vaccinations. He has tested negative for heartworm and his future family must be committed to giving him a heartworm preventative. Prior to adoption. he will be neutered. He is microchipped.

DOBBY'S IDEAL FAMILY: Dobby would do best with a secured fenced yard and as you'll see in one of his pictures, he has to wear a neck bumper at his foster home as he could easily fit through their fence.
