(Sylvie Belmond | CLAIR – Simi Valley, CA) — For over 500 days, Dobbie has been waiting. He’s watched people walk past his kennel, looking for their perfect pet. He’s seen some of his shelter friends find homes. And yet, he’s still here, patiently hoping that one day, someone will choose him.
“Why don’t you come and visit me?” he seems to ask, his big brown eyes full of hope. “I’ll show you how I’m a good boy!”
Dobbie isn’t just any dog. He’s a smart, fun-loving, tennis-ball-chasing machine with energy to spare. He knows his commands—sit, place, down—and he’s been working hard on his leash manners. But what really makes Dobbie special is his heart. He’s got a whole lot of love to give and is just waiting for the right person to share it with.
Just look at him proudly hugging a shelter volunteer, his joy obvious as he soaks up every bit of affection. He’s the kind of dog who loves big, plays hard, and would make an amazing adventure buddy for a Simi Valley resident who loves the outdoors.
Whether it’s a morning hike, a run through the park, or a game of fetch, Dobbie is always ready for the next adventure—he just needs a best friend to share it with.
So, what’s holding you back? If you’re active, and want a loyal companion who will always be excited to see you, Dobbie is your guy.
If Dobbie has already found his forever home (and we sure hope he has!), please consider adopting another pet from the Simi Valley Animal Shelter. There are so many wonderful dogs, cats, rabbits, and other critters waiting for a second chance.
You can even check them out in action—watch video clips of adoptable pets at VC Animal Services on TikTok.
