PEARL - DOBERMAN PINSCHER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Doberman Pinscher (short coat). Adoption Fee: $500. Meet Pearl — Petite, Playful, and Full of Heart! ✨ Pearl may be small in size, but this 1.5-year-old Doberman has a huge heart and an even bigger personality. Once a timid pup found wandering the streets of Kansas with her siblings, Ember and Sophie, Pearl has blossomed into a confident, affectionate young lady who loves nothing more than being close to her people—true to her “Velcro Dobe” nature! Pearl’s journey hasn’t been easy, but her resilience shines bright. She came into rescue underweight and uncertain, yet she’s learned that life inside a loving home is pretty amazing. Today, she’s playful, goofy, and full of joy—especially when she’s snuggled up with her favorite humans. Personality & Play: Pearl is a bundle of energy and affection. She loves to romp and play but also adores quiet cuddle time where she can press right up against you (personal space is not in her vocabulary). She currently lives with two cats and two dogs, though she’d likely thrive as an only pet or with a young, friendly male dog who can match her play style and help her feel secure. Training & Progress: Pearl is smart and eager to please—she already knows her basic commands (sit, stay, touch, down, wait, and kennel), is house-trained, and sleeps through the night. She’s also crate-trained and feels comfortable in a sturdy kennel like a Ruffland, where she enjoys meals and downtime. Like many young Dobermans, Pearl can be fearful when meeting new people or encountering unfamiliar dogs. She’s especially reactive on leash, but she’s making steady progress with training and positive reinforcement. Once she trusts you, she’s incredibly social and affectionate and will happily cover you in kisses and curl up right on top of you if she can! Ideal Home: Pearl would do best in a calm, patient, and experienced home—one familiar with the Doberman breed or with anxious dogs. She’s looking for a family willing to continue her training and help her build confidence around new situations. With the right guidance, Pearl will absolutely thrive and reward her people with unwavering loyalty and love. Pearl is the perfect mix of sweetness, spirit, and smarts. She’s come so far from the scared little dog who once wandered alone, and now she’s ready to find her forever family that will show her that she’s truly home. ❤️ Please read all adoption steps and policies carefully on our website. dobermanrescueminnesota/adoption-steps/ Qualified adopters are within the approved adoption area, and Adopter will be requested to visit this foster dog at the foster family home.
