Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Beowulf is a 7 year old blue male with a docked tail and natural ears. He was adopted as a puppy by an experienced and loving owner, who through family circumstances must find a safer place for Beowulf. A new baby has joined his family and although he loves the baby, the combination of changes to his routine and the unpredictable nature of small children has caused problems. Both Beowulf and that baby are safe and in no hurry to part from one another, but it is clear that restrictions that have to be in place are affecting Beowulf's quality of life.
Beowulf is on hypothyroid medication as well as anti-anxiety medication, which has proven to be helpful given his level of reactive anxiety. His medication costs are about 60$ per month with 3-4 medications given routinely and should be followed by a veterinarian experienced with these meds.
With that in mind, Beowulf loves people and shows typical Doberman affection of following you everywhere and wanting to snuggle at any opportunity. He currently lives with 2 cats, a German Shepherd and a young Great Dane. Although he plays with the Dane, he can get overstimulated and a little sharp when that happens. Things that set Beowulf off are unexpected noises or disturbances, including people showing up unexpectedly or anything he doesn't expect that surprises him.
Walks in places like a city or town can be disturbing due to other dogs coming around a corner in close proximity or something like a trash truck driving nearby. It takes time for Beowulf to process new stimuli and he will need a patient forward-looking person to help guide him in the future. He depends heavily on his people for reassurance and guidance so a patient understanding of his needs is a must. He does best with predictable routines.
Beowulf is looking for a special needs experienced home with no other animals or mature, calm animals that will give him space to settle. Due to his anxiety, his owner has had him extensively trained and he is crate-trained and very well-mannered. He loves to learn and knows several advanced tricks like high-five, and roll over.
He is a wonderful companion with a lot to give and a very sweet nature that requires love and understanding. Anyone who meets Beowulf will see that the love will come back their way 100 times over.
A $250 adoption fee applies. Please go to http://www.dobermanrescuenm.org and complete an application for this sweet boy.

More about this rescue
Thank you for considering adopting a Doberman through Doberman Rescue of New Mexico. The last two years have brought an average of one Doberman per week in need of our attention. If you are considering adopting, then you will be a critical part of the rescue and you will get to keep the prize.
Many of our Dobermans come from animal shelters. They are picked up as strays, they are impounded by owners who don't want them any more. Many are healthy, some are not. Sometimes owners contact us when they can't keep their dog any longer and transfer ownership to Doberman Rescue.
Our volunteers assess for health and temperament. All Dobermans who come through our organization are neutered or spayed, microchipped, Rabies and Distemper/Parvo vaccinated and tested for heartworm. To the best of our ability we assess temperament. Wheather the dog is good with children, men, women, other dogs, cats. Is the dog house-broken, content to be alone or in need of a companion dog? Has the dog undergone physical or mental trauma?
We do the best we ca to understand as much as we can prior to releasing a dog to a new owner. If a dog seems "good to go" and adoption occurs, we stay in touch to make sure s/he settles in well as rescue dogs often come with baggage that's not always obvious.
