Dobby aka xuan

  • 3yo neutered male Chihuahua
  • 5 lbs
  • Microchipped
  • ​Small cat and dog friendly

Young Dobby was brought in to the shelter as a stray. He was very skinny upon arrival which leads us to believe he may have been on his own for awhile. Our vet estimates that he is 3 years old. Dobby is tiny, only 5lbs; and like most tiny Chihuahuas he is cautious- but welcomes a slow hand and gentle pets until he warms up. Once he feels comfortable, though, he is very playful and active! He enjoys playing gently with just your hands or he will bring you a toy and enjoys a good game of tug of war.

Dobby might have been raised more like a cat versus a dog being that he’s very much a house-dog and is pad trained. Even when there is carpeting available he knows that the only area he is allowed to go potty on is a pee pad. He hasn’t shown much interest in going outside for walks and would much rather cuddle up on the couch with you or find a comfy dog bed to lay in. Dobby would make a great companion for someone who has prior tiny breed experience.


Dobby is cat and small dog friendly, neutered, micro chipped and up to date with his vaccinations. To adopt Dobby please fill out an application and a volunteer will be in touch.
