Dobby came to SSR from the pound, he was very malnourished and overstimulated, he has been working his paws off to get ready for a forever home.

Dobby is currently in kennels.

Dobby is a very friendly and happy boy, he always has a huge smile on his face and loves getting muddy! Dobby is an active dog and will need an active home, he will need plenty off physical and mental stimulation. Dobby will need a secure garden were he can run about, let of some steam and play with his ball.

Dobby hasn't been in a home for a long time and will need patience and training, we are unsure how Dobby will feel being left on his own so will need somebody at home to build that up, Dobby has been crate trained. When overstimulated Dobby can mouth and jump, we have been working on redirection and impulse control for this, although this has massively improved he will need a firm home who will set boundaries.

Dobby had a kennel break and was great in the house, he did try to grab cushions ect so this behaviour was redirected and he slept in his crate all night, he gravitated towards the men in the house and was very affectionate, he loved snuggling up on the couch. Dobby is such a sweet boy who needs a home committed to training and having patience with him whilst he decompresses from kennels.

Dobby is in good health and hasn't had any medical issues with us, Dobby will need to be neutered in his forever home which SSR will pay for.

Dobby enjoys his walks, he loves having a good sniff and nothing to seems to phase him when out. Dobby can pull so will need some work on his lead skills, Dobby enjoys going to secure fields and running about with his ball.

Dobby travels well in the car.
