ANNA - DOBERMAN PINSCHER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Doberman Pinscher (short coat). Adoption Fee: $500. Meet Anna (aka Anna Banana)! Anna is a big personality wrapped in a petite package! At around 2 years old, this sweet girl was found as a stray and has been blossoming in her foster home ever since. Naturally a bit skittish, Anna is still full of love, joy, and affection once she warms up. She’s playful, loyal, and always ready for some fun—especially if it involves fetch, walks, or zooming around the yard with her foster siblings! Anna is especially fond of snuggling up next to her foster mom during quiet reading time, making her the perfect mix of playful energy and cozy companionship. She’s already learned several commands like sit, spin, turn, wait, leave it, take it, and has a strong recall. She’s currently working on heel, down, front, shake, and stay, and she regularly offers up new behaviors for things she loves—like food, walks, and games! With her eagerness to learn and strong drive, she’d likely thrive in activities like scent work or obedience training. Anna is great with small animals (she’s been tested around guinea pigs, rats, mice, a bearded dragon, and a leopard gecko), and she adores children and adults once she feels safe. However, she’s still cautious with strangers and unfamiliar situations, so she’ll need a patient and understanding home to help her continue building confidence. Respecting her space and providing positive reinforcement are key to helping her thrive. Anna has a high prey drive—she loves to chase birds and squirrels—so a secure, 6-foot privacy fence is a must, as she can easily jump lower ones. She’ll also need to be walked with a slip lead or martingale collar to keep her safe. She is crate trained, house trained, and loves her kennel—it’s her go-to safe space when she’s feeling overwhelmed. She’s incredibly affectionate, often bringing her people little “treasures” like the adorable trash panda she is. She’s always up for a task but is just as content relaxing on her own. Health Note: Anna has chronic allergies that cause occasional ear and skin infections. These are easily managed with regular care, especially routine ear cleaning. Anna is a joyful, silly, sweet soul who brings light wherever she goes. Her Doberman smile and happy tail wags are the perfect way to start any morning. If you're looking for a loyal companion with lots of love to give—and are ready to help her continue on her journey—Anna might just be your perfect match.
