In addition, the rescue added that Dobby’s condition remains heart-wrenching. He is emaciated, weak, and struggles to stand. He survived the first night; his weight on intake was only 12 pounds which is half of what he normal weight should have been.
Dobby is such a sweet dog who loves people and has such a positive attitude – he really does deserve a second chance.

The popular rescue organization is also asking for the public’s help caring for Dobby who is currently receiving round-the-clock care. At this time, his prognosis is guarded, but he is expected to need months of expensive rehabilitation and care.
