Liz Ford was looking to adopt another dog after her two senior rescue pups passed away, and became smitten with a dog named Wylie who was also at Pawsibilities Rescue. She applied to adopt him and was approved, and while she was waiting for him to be ready, she saw Dobby’s picture and fell instantly in love.

“I could not believe my eyes when I saw him,” Ford told The Dodo. “While waiting for Wylie to heal enough to be adopted, I kept tabs on little Dobby. When I went to pick up Wylie, I was sitting on the floor at the rescue worker’s home and Dobby came and curled up in my lap. I pretty much knew then that he would be coming to live with us.”
