ARLO FOSTER NEEDED! - DOBERMAN PINSCHER DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Doberman Pinscher. Meet Arlo – The Gentle Giant with a Heart (and Belly) of Gold Ever seen a Doberman the size of a small horse with the soul of a teddy bear? Meet Arlo – part majestic statue, part goofy ball-fetcher, all heart. This handsome hunk had a bit of a rocky start in life, but he’s bounced back with resilience, charm, and a love for belly rubs that borders on a spiritual experience. Arlo is what we call a Tigger Doberman – bouncy, happy, sweet, and always down to snuggle. He’s got the kind of gentle soul that makes people go “a” even when he’s just sitting there, carrying a tennis ball around like it’s the Hope Diamond. Catching it? Eh. Optional. But carrying it? That’s his jam. He’s fantastic with people and gets along well with other big dogs (he's a bit of a gentle bro). As for cats and small critters? We’re not 100% sure. He hasn’t shown much interest in chasing little things on his hikes, so there’s hope – but slow intros and supervision are the way to go. Now, about that walk. Arlo has what we lovingly call a goofy gait – a little bouncy, a little wobbly, and 100% adorable. But don’t you dare pity him. Arlo is not here for your “aww poor baby” energy. He’s here to MOVE. His motto? “You don’t use it, you lose it.” So lace up those shoes, grab a leash, and let’s hit the trail. Doesn’t have to be far – just enough to catch a breeze, sniff a few bushes, and keep that 75-pound frame in shape. Let’s review Arlo’s must-haves: Fenced yard? Non-negotiable. The tie-out life is not for this proud pup. It's like asking you to do your business in the middle of Times Square. Hard pass. Walks? Yes please. Short, sweet, and regular – just how he likes them. Belly rubs? Daily. Possibly hourly. Arlo runs on belly rubs the way some of us run on caffeine. And here’s the real prize: once Arlo loves you, you’ll know. How? Because he’ll give you the grin. A full-face, ear-to-ear, pearly-white smile that could melt glaciers. That’s when you know you’ve officially won over this big bouncy boy – and it’s worth every minute. Arlo is ready to find his forever people – the kind who don’t mind a little drool on their tennis balls, who appreciate a bouncy stride, and who know that love sometimes comes wrapped in 75 pounds of Doberman delight. Think you’re the one? Arlo's waiting – tennis ball in mouth, belly up, and heart open. Apply today! .uniteddobermanrescue All potential adopters must fill out the adoption application.
