Name: Dobby
Animal ID: A848669
Age: 3 years
Weight: 42.2lbs
About: Dobby is a three-year-old red merle male Cattle Dog who came to PACC as an owner surrender. He lived in his previous home for three years.
Dobby exhibits strong protective instincts and can become territorial. He has a history of resource guarding and may chase cats and small animals. Additionally, he has an undocumented minor bite incident where he bit his previous owner's arm while being told to lay down.
Despite his challenges, Dobby is a loyal and playful dog. He knows basic commands like sit, up, down, off, leave-it, bedtime, and place. He also enjoys playing with squeaky toys and fetch.
Adoption Requirements:
No Cats or Small Animals: Due to his prey drive, Dobby should not be placed in a home with cats or small animals.
Older Children: Children should be older and able to respect Dobby's space and understand his protective nature.
Training: Dobby will require ongoing training to address his resource guarding behavior.
Quiet Environment: A home with minimal traffic is ideal to reduce potential triggers for his protective instincts.
Crating or Separation: Dobby may need to be crated or kept in a separate area when guests enter the home.
Adoption Process:
Interested parties:
Must visit PACC before the 5:00 PM Friday, September 27th deadline to meet with an adoption counselor who will go over Dobby’s notes and then introduce you to Dobby to ensure that it’s a good fit.
Are encouraged to reach out to a rescue group, to start their process. Have the rescue contact PACC at [email protected]. If you've connected with a rescue, please inform PACC for coordination.
Meet-and-Greets:
People: Dobby can meet potential adopters in a designated area at any time while he is in isolation.
Dogs: If Dobby will be living with other dogs, meet-and-greets will need to take place after his medication is completed, meet and greets with dogs can start on September 25th, 2024.
Collaboration with Rescue Groups:
PACC's Role:
If you haven't contacted a rescue, PACC will notify all partnered rescue groups about your interest and request their assistance.
Partnered Rescue Groups:
Dobby will require additional training and support that PACC is unable to provide.
Will be given any interested parties information to contact to start their adoption process.
Are encouraged to start their adoption process with any interested parties who have contacted them directly and email PACC at [email protected].
Dobby will need to find placement with a partnered rescue group by 5:00 PM on Friday, September 27th.
Please note that it is ultimately up to the rescue group's discretion to decide whether to proceed with Dobby adoption.
Dobby did not find placement and passed over the rainbow. Fly free and be at peace, Dobby.
