Story
Tootsie roll is a loving sweetheart. She is potty trained , very sweet and loving . Not aggressive at all. Grew up in dog parks she is great with dogs of all sizes . Requires a lot of exercise . Has amazing recall , when you call her she comes right away . Listens very well. She is very well trained . Does not jump or bother . She has a bed that she loves with her blankets she sucks on the blankets to sleep , she is great with kids , She’s never been around cats really and when she has it hasn’t really been good so cats are a no go . Looking for someone who is experienced with Dobermans as they are not just a dog that looks cool. They are Velcro dogs and require lots of attention and exercise . Ideally looking for a family with a house and a big yard . Love her to death but life just didn’t turn out as expected and feel like she deserves more attention and a better life .

She is very loving and loves to cuddle. Unfortunetly I have a cat and even with training she still goes after her. She is possessive of her humans so not a good idea to introduce other dogs.

Story
Dean is 5 years old and is a very sweet dog. He loves cuddling with people. He was my son's dog who moved and couldn't keep him. We have a dog of our own and the cost to maintain 2 dogs has just become too much. Dean has been around a variety of people and has done very well. He might be excited at first but settles down quickly. He walks well on a leash and would benefit from a secure fenced in yard where he can explore.
