My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Fox!



Breed: Doberman/Kelpie X



Age: 1 year



Location: Edmonton, AB



Personality: Fox is a happy go lucky goofball. Once he trusts you, if you tell him no, he will tip his head sideways and gently put a paw up, like, "you're just kidding... right???" When he is unsure of the appropriate behavior in a situation, he will rely more on other dogs' behavior than on commands.



Likes: Playing with other dogs -- racing them, wrestling them, hanging with them. He also loves his house kitten, and the Dachshund that rules inside. His favorite treat is watermelon.



Dislikes: Being in the house for extended periods of time, especially by himself. He doesn't like sidewalks or a lot of traffic noise. He was originally "bred" by farmers, and was found on a reserve after being dumped there with some of his siblings. He had been an outside dog for the first 10.5 months of his life, so he is still adjusting to home life.



Ideal Home: In the country, preferably a farm or large acreage. He has shown some interest in working with his foster's cows and heifers. He could also excel at agility, as scaling a bale stack 3 large bales high is not an issue. He is incredibly curious and does use his nose a lot, so scent training may also be an option. He needs at least one other dog for company.



‍‍‍ Family: Must be able to provide mind engaging exercise as well as incredible amounts of physical exercise. He isn't much into toys and PEOPLE, but toys and other DOGS he will engage. He is good with all dogs, big and small, loves his foster home's kitty, and has been around livestock, since he is being fostered on a farm.



Health: No issues.



Adoption Fee: $500



Fox has been neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. All adopters must agree not to use any punitive training methods including, but not limited to, leash corrections; pinning; alpha rolls; and prong, pinch, choke, shock, or e-collars. 



Apply to adopt Fox by submitting our adoption application at https://adoptadobe.com/adoption-application/. All adoptions require a home visit and meet and greet with other pets, prior to finalization. We do not ship dogs sight unseen.
