Meet Twix: Your Sweet, Spicy, Super-Smart Survivor

Hey there, I’m Twix! I’m a 1-year-old black and tan Doberman with natural ears, a docked tail, and enough personality to fill a whole candy aisle. I’m playful, cuddly, unbelievably smart, and—full transparency—a bit of a medical miracle. I survived an obstruction surgery that almost took me out, and because of that, I’m looking for a very special, very experienced Doberman-human to help keep me safe… and keep life fun!

Personality:
I’m a sweet, goofy girl who loves to play, especially with male dogs. I warm up to other dogs just fine, but I do need a slow introduction so I don’t get overwhelmed. I’m affectionate, mischievous in the cutest way, and full of puppy joy. I do have some anxiety and pica, so regular exercise and mental stimulation are a MUST for me—bored Twix turns into “I wonder if I can eat that?” Twix. (Spoiler: I absolutely will try.)

My Story:
I came into rescue after a life-threatening gastrointestinal obstruction required emergency surgery. This wasn't my first, it was my second in a month and my previous owner could not afford the second surgery after I wiped his bank account out with the first. It was touch-and-go but I survived. The vets made it clear: I cannot undergo another obstruction surgery and live through it. Because of that, keeping me safe from eating inappropriate objects isn’t just important—it’s life or death. Don’t worry though, I’m not fragile… I’m just a little too curious about the world with my mouth.

Manners & Training:
I’m incredibly smart—like scary smart. I already know:
Sit • Kennel Up • Lay Down • Touch • Watch • And I’m muzzle-trained!

Because of my pica, I must be crated or properly muzzled anytime I cannot be watched like a hawk. This is not optional for my safety. But the good news? I wear my muzzle like a total pro.

I’m potty trained and crate trained, though I still need some leash work. I’ve shown some food aggression, so I need a child-free home both now and in the future—kids drop things, and I cannot risk grabbing something dangerous or defending food.

Special Considerations:
• I need a Doberman-experienced owner who understands working breeds, structure, and management.
• Pica + anxiety means I need exercise, training, and enrichment every single day.
• I cannot safely be left unsupervised without a crate or muzzle—ever.
• Food aggression means no children in the home.
• I prefer male dogs for play, but I’m friendly with most dogs with slow intros.
If you’re diligent, structured, and proactive—and ready to commit—I will thrive with you.

Health & Vetting:
I’m spayed, vaccinated (rabies, Bordetella, distemper combo), microchipped, heartworm negative, and negative for intestinal parasites. Physically, I’m doing great. Mentally? I just need someone who understands me.

Why You’ll Love Me:
I am sweet, loving, playful, and ridiculously trainable. I bond hard, adore my people, and want nothing more than to be a good girl. I just need someone dedicated, attentive, and ready to help me succeed. If you’re looking for a bright, goofy, loyal companion who will give you her whole heart—and you’re willing to manage her quirks—then I might be the perfect match for you.

Can’t wait to meet you!
Love,
Twix
