My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! I’m Dobby! My foster mom thinks I look just like Dobby-”The Freed House Elf`` in Harry Potter. Oh! Just like Dobby in the movies, I love socks!

I’m a 1 year-old male, neutered Chiweenie. I love to play with toys and snuggle with my foster mom. I came to PACC after a dog attack left me temporarily paralyzed in my back legs. The amazing vets at PACC cared for my wounds, and Friends of PACC sponsored my physical therapy at A Loyal Companion. Check out my photos of me in my old wheelchair and in the pool for swim therapy!

I no longer need the wheelchair, and I can run just as fast as any other dog. My legs are still a little weak, but my daily exercises are helping them to become strong again.

I currently live with two other dogs. I love to play with small dogs. I’m currently nervous of larger dogs and some people when I first meet them. PACC’s TOP Dogs’s trainers are doing great in helping me to overcome my fears.

My foster mom thinks I’d do best in a home with other small dogs. My ideal family would be one that is patient with me and understands that it might take me some time to warm up to humans. My favorite activities include going for walks/runs, sitting outside in the sun, and sleeping in my foster mom’s lap. I’m quite the cuddle bug. If you think we might be a match I would love to meet you!
