Hi! My name is Doby. I am an approximately 2 year old female (spayed) ‘pocket pit’. I am definitely part Pitbull Terrier, but the veterinarians think that I may also be mixed with a Boston Terrier. I am only about 40 pounds. I am black with a little bit of brindle and white stockings on my legs with a white blaze on my face. I think you would agree that I am as cute as a button. I have big ole pointy ears and that is how I got my name - Doby the House Elf!

I am a very energetic girl and need lots of exercise. I was relinquished to Fairgrounds Animal Hospital after my housemate and I just could not learn to get along. The prior owner’s mentioned that the housemate was much more of the aggressor. I do love other dogs myself, but I definitely get over-stimulated. I can get a bit pushy and do not like to be corrected by other dogs. I have decided that other female spayed dogs just are not going to be part of my clique. However; I do love the big silly male Husky that I lived with at my foster home. He was very laid back and always wanted to play. I do feel that I would do best in a single dog household or can have a meeting with a laid back larger male dog prior to adoption. I have also been around cats and just like with dogs I get a little too excited. When I was with my foster mom her cats hissed at me and even swatted. I was a little confused and would just stare at them, never once did I try to harm them. However; I am a big pup and with my over-stimulation a household without cats might be best as well. My foster mom has been working with me on leash walks. Overall I do well, but just like a typical terrier sometimes I cannot help myself and will bark and get too excited. We are working on this, but I do recommend my new home have humans who have had terrier and/or reactive pitbull experience for continued training. I also feel that I would do best with children over the age of 12. This is not because I am aggressive with them, simply that I am 40 pounds of muscle and would be worried that I could accidentally knock over a smaller child. I am so sweet and it would break my heart if I unintentionally hurt someone. I really just want to love my people and I am very affectionate. Once I settle in, I will be your best friend. I will cuddle and make you laugh. I am a bit misunderstood at times, but with the right family I know I will fit in well. If you are interested in discussing my personality and possible adoption then please contact Fairgrounds Animal Hospital at 775-329-4106. This clinic is very busy; therefore, if you do not reach one of our receptionists right away, please leave a message with your phone number and interest in Doby and we will return your call as soon as possible.
