Meet Dobby: Once a Hungry Stray, Now She Needs a New Home
The puppy is being flown to New Jersey as part of NBCUniversal Local's Clear The Shelters campaignThe hairless, scabby puppy was in the middle of the road in an industrial part of Iberville Parish, Louisiana, walking along the hot asphalt, looking for scraps of food as cars whizzed by. The woman who had spotted her was worried she would not survive.
When Alison Alvarado, the director of the Iberville Parish Shelter & Animal Control, south of Baton Rouge, arrived, the dog was emaciated and scared, “but had the sweetest eyes that were screaming for help,” she wrote. At a foster home later the afternoon of Aug. 12, the puppy now called Dobby had a warm bath, ate, and fell asleep for hours on a soft bed. Her ordeal of being a hungry stray was over and her relief was evident to Alvarado.
“You could see it all over her cute, hairless face,” Alvarado wrote. “The sweetest, most accepting and loving pup I have come in contact with in a long time.”
