Dobby is a 90-pound, nine-year-old German Shepherd that is sweet and loving to every person he meets. Dobby is dog friendly with proper introductions and is happy lounging at home and soaking up the company of his favorite humans - whether it's curling up nearby while you relax or keeping a watchful eye on the world from a cozy spot. Dobby is house trained and comfortable in a crate but has had limited time in a crate while he has been with his foster, as he is a calm, non-destructive boy. Dobby has a low to moderate energy level, making him a great fit for a home that enjoys playtime and relaxation. He adores people, including kids. Dobby does not react to squirrels or cats, and has not counter surfed or chewed on inappropriate items while with his foster. Dobby wants to greet dogs and people he meets on his walk, which can lead to him pulling on the leash.  Dobby loves to ride in cars. He will sit by the door and wait for you to open it. Once inside, he will lie down in the back seat and travel quietly. He would enjoy having a fenced yard to roam and explore. Being a senior gentleman, a 4 foot fence is tall enough. With proper exercise, Dobby would do fine without a fenced yard as long as he is supervised so he doesn’t get curious and wander off. Overall, Dobby is a splendid example of everything there is to love about German Shepards: attentive, loving and smart; the ultimate sidekick. If you are interested in meeting this sweet gentleman, please reach out to your adoption coordinator.  If you don’t have an adoption coordinator, please complete an application at www.freedomgermanshepherdrescue.organization. Dobby is being fostered outside of Wilmington, NC.
