Description
Dog Breed: Doberman Pinscher (short coat). Adoption Fee: $400. Meet Roscoe Mr. Roscoe is new to Doberman Rescue Minnesota and already stealing hearts. Roscoe’s story is heartbreaking. This 3-year-old blue Doberman was dumped and abandoned at a pet store on a freezing winter day, left waiting for someone who never came back. When he arrived in rescue, he was severely underweight and showed signs of long-term neglect and confinement. It’s clear Roscoe has endured far too much — but this gentle boy still believes in people. Roscoe is sweet, quiet, and incredibly affectionate. He loves being near his humans and soaks up every bit of attention and love he can get. Despite his soft heart, Roscoe’s past has left him uncertain in new situations. He’s still learning manners, leash skills, and how to navigate the world around him. When overstimulated, he can become reactive to other dogs, so he’ll need continued structure, training, and patience from someone who understands the breed. Roscoe needs an experienced Doberman owner or foster — someone confident, calm, and committed to helping him rebuild trust and learn how to just be a dog again. Roscoe’s ideal home: Physical (non-invisible) fenced yard required No cats, no small children Best as an only dog, or possibly with a calm, neutral female Foster or adopter with breed experience and willingness to continue training and socialization Roscoe has survived a lot, and he’s ready for someone who won’t give up on him. He’s not just another rescue case — he’s a reminder of why we do what we do.

Overview:
The Doberman Pinscher is a sleek and powerful breed originating from Germany in the late 19th century, specifically developed by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann for protection. Known for their striking, athletic build, Dobermans typically possess a short, glossy coat that comes in black, red, blue, or fawn, often with rust-colored markings. Their temperament is a fascinating blend of loyalty, intelligence, and alertness, making them exceptional guardians and devoted companions. While highly trainable and eager to please, they require early socialization and consistent training to channel their energy and protectiveness appropriately. Dobermans can thrive in active families who can provide ample exercise and mental stimulation, but their need for space and activity generally makes them less suitable for small apartment living unless exceptionally well-exercised. Regarding health, they are predisposed to certain conditions like Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM), Von Willebrand's Disease, and Wobbler Syndrome, so responsible breeding and veterinary care are paramount.
