More about *DOBBIE

Yes, just like the enchanting shy house elf from Harry Potter, Dobbie will stare up at you with his big, precious brown eyes. He probably picks up great channels with those two big satellite dish ears of his, and with his cute short legs and long dachshund body, it’s clear he’s a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. What an adorable boy!Dobbie was allegedly found abandoned in an open carrier, which he seems to take comfort in now, often snuggling inside with a blanket in his kennel.During one volunteer’s first interaction with him, she expected to simply sit nearby, let him initiate contact, and speak softly to him. She was delighted when he immediately came over, wagging his tail, crawling into her lap, and giving kisses. He’s quite the wiggly little fella with lots of squiggly energy.Dobbie loves walks and is a dream on leash. He’s patient while you put it on and then trots happily along on his little legs, carrying those adorably large ears. In the yard, he lights up around squeaky toys. He’ll zoom off, toss a toy into the air, chase it, and run joyful circles. He’ll even play fetch for a moment, though his spunky energy sometimes sends him back into zoomie mode.Dobbie would likely do well in a home with a yard or with adopters who can take him to parks where he can run and be his playful self. He does enjoy chasing and playing with shoes, which is something future adopters can help him work on with training.It’s also important to note that Dobbie is a very sweet boy who has likely been through a lot. He seems to love women but is quite fearful of men, as observed by male staff and volunteers. A meet-and-greet will be important to ensure he feels comfortable with potential adopters.You’re in good hands now, little boy, with lots of love from volunteers and staff coming your way.If you know someone who might be interested in adopting Dobbie, come meet him at the Burbank Animal Shelter.He deserves to be free, just like the Harry Potter character. I bet he even likes socks.All we know for sure is that Dobbie is a friend.
