Meet Eli — The 2-Year-Old Spicy, Smart, and Seriously Opinionated Doberman who smiles when happy
Eli is a fully vetted, exceptionally intelligent, cropped, docked Doberman with a pedigree a mile long, graduate of formal obedience training and a personality that could power a small city, and who takes his job as Head of Security, Neighborhood Watch, and Personal Bodyguard extremely seriously, maybe to serious. At just 2 years old, he is a fiery little spitfire with a résumé longer than most human applicants. Eli is super focused on anyone he deems a stranger — because in his expert opinion, the world has stranger danger lurking around every corner, and he must protect those he loves at all costs. If vigilance were an Olympic sport, Eli would bring home the gold every time.
Eli is super focused on those he deems strangers — and trust us, he has opinions about them. Strong ones. Loud ones. “Sir, please step back from my human” ones.
He prefers to be the sole protector of his household. Other dogs? Meh. People he hasn’t evaluated yet? Suspicious.
But his humans? Oh, he LOVES his humans.
In fact, once you’re in his inner circle, he expects premium cuddles, consistent devotion, and the occasional forehead kiss. After all, every protector deserves adoration from his… servant— er, humans.
Spicy with strangers, sweet with his people
Laser-focused security mindset — FBI, call us
Highly trained and lightning smart
Exceptionally loyal — bonds like a Velcro shadow
Pedigree papers and a puppy price tag that probably still hurts
A personality that’s half genius, half gremlin, 100% Doberman
He copies humans and smiles back:) Makes you wonder what else he will copy??!!
This boy is not for first-time dog owners — he’s the advanced placement Doberman. He needs:
A VERY experienced handler
A home where he can be the only dog
Structure, leadership, and someone who won’t be intimidated by his “opinions”
A quiet environment where he can relax between patrol shifts
A human who’s prepared to be adored, guarded, and occasionally judged
If you want a dog who:
✔ will cuddle you like a weighted blanket
✔ take you on walks without you worrying about “stranger danger”
✔ watch over your home like Fort Knox
✔ outsmart you at least twice a week
…then Eli might be your perfect match.
Unlikely — but if you want to try, apply at www.uniteddobermanrescue.org
Eli is waiting for his forever handler, protector, partner, and happily bossed-around human.
