Meet Bear, a five-year old, black & tan, male Doberman, weighing approximately 90 pounds.
Bear is a striking, sensitive, and people-oriented Doberman who is looking for a calm, structured, and Doberman-experienced forever home. He is deeply loyal to his caregivers and thrives on consistent routine, clear leadership, and positive guidance.
When first meeting new people or encountering new situations, Bear can be cautious and unsure. With patient, confident handling, he settles in nicely and reveals his affectionate, devoted nature. Once comfortable, Bear becomes a true “velcro Doberman,” preferring to stay close to his people and be included in daily life.
Bear is intelligent and responsive. He knows his basic commands, is fully house-trained, and is crate-trained for rest or decompression when needed. He LOVES to ride in the car, both in and out of the crate, and handles transitions best when expectations are clear and predictable.
With other respectful dogs, Bear is generally social and playful and tends to match their energy appropriately. He does best with proper introductions and structured management in new environments. Despite his size, he is gentle at heart and benefits from a calm household atmosphere.
Bear has typical Doberman drive and requires daily physical exercise and mental stimulation to remain balanced and content. He is not destructive, but he should be provided with regular enrichment, training, or engaging activities to prevent boredom. Long walks, structured play, puzzle toys, scent work, or continued training will all help him thrive.
Ideal Home for Bear
Bear will do best in a home that offers:
- Doberman experience (required)
- A calm, predictable environment with consistent routine
- A secure, fully fenced yard
- Active adopter(s) committed to daily exercise and enrichment
- An adult-only home without children
- A home without cats
Bear is not suited for first-time large-breed owners, low-activity homes, or households seeking an independent dog. He needs leadership, structure, and connection to be his best self. For the right adopter, Bear will be a deeply loyal, affectionate, and devoted companion who truly wants to be your partner in life. Bear is being fostered in Maryland.
