ELPHABA - DOBERMAN PINSCHER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Doberman Pinscher (short coat). Adoption Fee: 300.00. HW+, wicked duo Elphaba is an 8-year-old sweetheart with a heart as big as her story. This lovely girl was saved from euthanasia after arriving at a shelter heartworm positive when the shelter did not have the resources for her treatment. Thanks to rescue and dedicated care, Elphaba has completed her heartworm treatment and is now looking forward to a safe, loving forever home where she can truly relax and thrive. Elphaba is the definition of calm and gentle. She is generally quiet and content just being near her people. However, when she needs something important—like a potty break or mealtime—she will let you know with the most adorable little noises and her signature smile that is impossible to resist. She would do best in a relaxed household where she can enjoy companionship, either from someone who is home often or with another calm, easygoing dog. While she hasn’t shown interest in active play with the resident dog in her foster home, she does enjoy running alongside her foster sister outside and would enjoy having a canine friend to lounge and cuddle with. Because she recently completed heartworm treatment, her activity is temporarily limited while she continues healing. She'll soon be fully recovered, and she would enjoy having space to safely stretch her legs and explore. She tends to stay close to her humans and does not react to passing dogs or people. While she may not require a fenced yard, she has not yet been tested without one. Elphaba is truly a people lover. She welcomes visitors warmly, shows no reactivity. She is polite in the home, does not get on furniture, and is happiest cuddled up beside you—often choosing to rest on your feet or lean gently against your legs. She walks beautifully on leash and enjoys calm strolls. She has shown polite curiosity when meeting other dogs, enjoying a good sniff introduction before settling into a calm coexistence. She has shown no interest in cats when hearing them at the vet, though she has not lived with them directly. Elphaba rides in the car with a little hesitation at first but settles in for the trip. This smart girl already knows basic commands like sit and place, and she learns new things quickly. More than anything, Elphaba is simply looking for someone to love and stay close to—your quiet, loyal companion who will always be by your side. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate, and devoted Doberman to share your home and heart, Elphaba may be your perfect match. Elphaba is available to adopters of all ages.
