Story
Cute right? This adorable guy is Sensei and he is finally ready to start the search for a forever home. Ironically enough, Sensei actually needs a sensei or in another words...a teacher. We aren't sure he has a lick of training but we know an experienced and calm owner could do wonders with him. He has mellowed a lot in the last few weeks, a far cry from the emaciated wild child that showed up from the animal shelter. Honestly, he was tough to handle and all over the place at first but he has settled in and become a willing student. We aren't sure if he has any doggie social skills yet but we do know he has some reactivity on leash (common in our breed) so he will need a little work in order to go for walks in the neighborhood. He won't be the right addition for a lot of people but for the right home, Sensei could be an amazing companion. Affectionate, smart and perfect for people who love to be active...absolutely full of potential.

Story
Zeus is a young, all natural dobie boy who is almost 2 years old. Unfortunately, he hasn't had a whole lot of training but he is smart and eager to please so in the right home, he could be a wonderful member of the family. He didn't have proper socialization with other dogs at a young age but we are working with him. He has a hard time meeting new dogs and he takes direct eye contact as a challenge so dog parks won't be a good place for him. He has however, been able to live nicely with a couple of large female dogs whom he adores. He loves to play and even has some puppy-like qualities. Zeus would be great for someone who is a bit of a homebody with a large yard or property so he can get his daily exercise without reacting to other dogs. He is a silly, happy, and submissive guy who would love to finally find a loving family of his very own.

Doberman Pinscher

Male, Adult

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Cannon is a 3-year-old Dobie (as of 2020) who was turned in to an animal shelter by his owner. He is a "hard-mouthed" dog and actually did break skin minorly when interacting with a kennel staff member, so he was then quarantined for the bite and made "rescue-only." During Cannon's stay with us, it appears that he merely engages in rough play, and an experienced adopter should be able to work through this behavior with him, either through professional training or electronic aids or both. Cannon has been kenneled alone since he wasn't able to live with another dog long-term during his stay with us. This dog will also require at least moderate daily exercise to release some of his energy. We are also seeking an adult owner for him.

Audi

Doberman Pinscher

Male, Adult
Fillmore, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Audi is a shy, all-natural guy that is slowly coming out of his shell. He needs some patience, especially on leash because he just isn't sure what is expected of him all of the time. He has peacefully shared his kennel with different larger, female dogs over some time so we are confident he can live in a home with a female dog but possibly not males. Audi has a lot of potential waiting to be unlocked by the right owner. *We try to keep our posts up-to-date but there may be more dogs available for adoption than we have shared here. Please go to our website at www.dobiesandlittlepawsrescue.org to see all of our available dogs and fill out our adoption application.

Story
Radar and his brother, Hoagie, were rescued together; a very lucky day for them. They had been listed as Doberman Pinschers, and they passed their temperament tests at their animal shelter. When their shelter ran out of room for dogs in the available-dogs section, another shelter agreed to take them. At the last minute, however, the other shelter backed out, leaving the brothers with nowhere to go. They were scheduled to be put down the next day. So...one of our people went to view them and discovered that they aren't "quite" Dobies, but they were friendly and handsome, and best of all, they could share a kennel. We'll be happy to place them individually or together. They're about 2 years old.

Doberman Pinscher

Male, Adult

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bowser is originally from a local animal shelter and we were asked to take him because of his frantic behavior when leashed, crated, etc. He can be a friendly dog but he needs a low stress home, no children and patient, gentle handling. Bowser is distrusting of new people and is suspicious if intentions are unclear. His leash skills are improving daily and he takes guidance well but he needs someone experienced enough not to put too many expectations on him too soon. He is capable of overreacting when frightened and he does have a prior bite history when he was pushed while out on a walk. Bowser likes most dogs but he would do best with one other large dog, preferably female and playful. Bowser is about 3 years old (as of 2020), and he's average size for a male.
