DOBY FOSTER NEEDED! - DOBERMAN PINSCHER DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Doberman Pinscher. Doby came to us under difficult circumstances. He was dropped off at a foster's boarding facility without official approval and arrived with almost no information. The only details we were given were that he previously lived with another dog and with children. He was known simply as "Doby." We are estimating his age to be around 1.5 years. Since arriving, Doby has shown us that he is a very scared and uncertain boy who is struggling to make sense of all the changes in his life. Right now, he needs time, patience, and understanding as he learns that he is safe. While he is beginning to show glimpses of who he truly is, he is not the type of dog who will immediately trust strangers or settle into a new home overnight. Doby is looking for an experienced, dog-savvy home that understands the challenges of helping a dog with a difficult and largely unknown past. His future family must be willing to go at his pace, build trust through consistency, and provide the structure and support he needs to gain confidence. Because of his fear and uncertainty, Doby will require a secure physical fence. A tall privacy fence or a very tall chain-link fence is non-negotiable. He is not a candidate for an invisible fence, tie-out, or an unfenced property. Doby has lived with children ages 1 year to 9 years and two other dogs, a small Yorkie and a large lab, who we are told bossed Doby around. Doby may not be the easiest dog you'll ever meet, but for the right person, helping him learn that the world isn't such a scary place could be incredibly rewarding. He deserves a family willing to see past his fear and give him the chance to finally feel safe, loved, and understood. If you have the experience, patience, and commitment to help Doby write a new chapter, he is waiting for someone to believe in him. ❤️ .uniteddobermanrescue United Doberman Rescue Adoption Process Application Submission: Complete the adoption application thoroughly.
