KINSEY - DOBERMAN PINSCHER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Doberman Pinscher (short coat). Adoption Fee: $500. New to DRM, stay tuned for more info!! Say hello to Kinsey, a sweet and soulful boy who’s ready to find his forever home! This handsome boy has a heart as big as his appetite and a personality that will keep you smiling from morning walks to bedtime cuddles. He also benefits from daily teeth brushing, something he tolerates well, especially if it earns him a little extra love afterward! This boy loves his food, but doesn’t guard it. He just needs gentle redirection to ensure he doesn’t sneak seconds from his housemates. Kinsey is house-trained, clearly communicates when he needs to go outside, and has done wonderfully since his initial adjustment period. Playtime is where Kinsey truly shines! He can entertain himself for hours, joyfully digging through his toy bin or “disemboweling” a stuffed animal or two. When playing with other dogs, he’s friendly and fun-loving. He especially enjoys being chased during fetch. However, he must be supervised, as he tends to chew and swallow bits of soft fabric. Kinsey is crate-trained and content when crated during the day. He enjoys several walks, visits to the dog park, and playtime in fenced-in areas. He does have a strong prey drive and will pull hard on leash if he spots a squirrel or rabbit, so a confident handler and a secure yard are musts for this curious boy. At home, Kinsey is a “Stage 5 clinger” who adores his people. He’s affectionate, goofy, and will happily rest his head in your hands, gazing at you with his soulful eyes. He’s good with adults and other dogs (cats and kids unknown) and knows several commands, including Sit, Paw, Stay, Leave it, and walking nicely on your left side. Kinsey is looking for a patient, loving home that understands the balance between structure and play. He’s silly, loyal, endlessly affectionate, and will make a wonderful companion for someone who doesn’t mind a shadow that follows them everywhere they go. Kinsey is currently asymptomatic but has tested positive twice for Ehrlichiosis and Anaplasmosis, two tick-borne diseases. He’ll need an adopter committed to keeping an eye on his health as he ages. Anyone would be lucky to have this sweet boy by their side.
