ADELE - DOBERMAN PINSCHER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Doberman Pinscher (short coat). Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Meet Adele — a sleek, athletic Doberman with a heart full of zoomies, a head built for leaning, and a toy obsession that knows no bounds. At 67 pounds of pure muscle and curiosity, Adele is the perfect mix of high energy and heartfelt snuggles. She’s always up for a walk, hike, or rousing squeaky-toy session, but when the fun winds down, she’s ready to nestle in and rest her head right in the crook of your arm like it’s custom-made for her. She’s a world-class leaner and professional cuddlebug. Adele is incredibly smart and a quick learner. She already knows sit, down, leave it, heel, and “go potty,” and she’s crate trained like a champ. Just say “go home” and she’ll trot right into her kennel like the good girl she is. She’s fully potty trained, never soils her crate, and even lets you know when it’s time for a bathroom break. She walks beautifully on a leash and loves car rides. She doesn’t jump on furniture, but she will unpack every toy in the basket with the enthusiasm of someone discovering buried treasure. She’s even been caught watching TV — usually with a very serious look, like she’s critiquing the plot. Adele does well with dogs her size or larger after proper introductions, though she’s still figuring out how to peacefully coexist with other female dogs. She’d do best in a home with no small dogs and with slow intros to any resident pets. She’s been great with kids age 10 and up and would thrive in an active home that enjoys the outdoors. She’s also a big fan of human food — not in a subtle way — so watch your snacks, because Adele is always on guard for rogue crumbs. This girl is the whole package: loyal, trainable, playful, and affectionate. A home with prior Doberman experience would be a great fit, and Adele is ready to be your hiking buddy, your sidekick, your TV co-watcher, and your built-in arm warmer. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiriesunderdogrescuemn> ADOPTION EVENTS: Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend. Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: .underdogrescuemn/adoptionprocess/ Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN. All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at .underdogrescuemn/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website .underdogrescuemn/foster-applications and fill out a foster application. NUTRITION: Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet. All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal. YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog.
