Story
Hi!!!! I’m Bubbles!!! I’m about 2… or maybe 3… who really knows?? Time is a construct and I prefer to live in the present! I’m a 50 lb Rottweiler mix and my foster mommy says I am literally the sweetest, most affectionate, loving dog in the whole entire world. I need to gain a few more pounds so my foster family is generous with yummy food and supplements. I recently traveled all the way from Texas to Maryland with my three babies — Harry, Hermione, and Winky. I was the BEST mama ever and took such good care of them through a really hard situation. They’re finding their own families now… and it’s finally my turn to be someone’s baby!!! Let me tell you about my areas of expertise: ~Professional Helper~ Oh you’re doing laundry? I can help!! Making dinner? I can help!! Working from home? I can help!! Going to the bathroom? I can DEFINITELY help!! I like to remain within approximately 30 inches of your feet at all times. It’s called dedication. ~Dramatic Belly Flops~ Every time you make eye contact with me, I will immediately throw myself backwards onto the floor and go belly up for rubs. I cannot control it. It just happens. ~Snuggle Optimization~ The second you sit down, I gently situate myself between your legs for maximum petting efficiency. I don’t make the rules. ~Walk Queen~ My foster mommy says that of all the dogs she has ever walked, I am by FAR her favorite. I walk right next to you and match your speed perfectly. I’ve gone on 5-mile walks without slowing down… but I’m also perfectly happy with a short snowy stroll. I love saying hi to friendly dogs and mostly all the people willing to pet me! ~Low-Key House Princess~ Inside the house, I am calm, quiet, and so settled. I don’t run around. I don’t bark at anything. I don’t really care about toys despite the vast collection offered to me. I really just want to be close to you, get rubbed, and take cozy naps. Velcro dog? Yes. Proudly. Next question. I live with two tiny human foster sisters (ages 4 and 6!) and I am SO gentle and sweet with them. I don’t steal their stuff! I just love being near them! I’m spayed, I know “sit” and “come,” and I’m extremely polite. I’m also very food motivated (hello peanut butter Kong), which makes me a delight to work with. I sleep like an angel in my crate all night long and settle beautifully in the home. I’ve spent my life taking care of everyone else. Now I deserve a warm, cozy couch and a family who will spoil me forever and ever. If you’re looking for the most loyal, gentle, loving shadow to follow you around and adore you for the rest of your life… It’s me. Bubbles!!!

Story
If you are interested in adopting King, please contact dogs@lostdogrescue.org With the help of a compassionate donor, this Pet Pal is one step closer to a forever home! Hi! I'm King. I am loving, loyal, and - ok, you made me say it - very handsome. Oh, and did I mention that I am looking for a best friend to adopt me? I like leash walks, especially in calm and quiet spaces where we can spend some quality time together without the crowds. But, I may get distracted by all of the wonderful smells because I really do need to put my nose on everything to explore the wonders of the world. Not only am I curious, I am up for a challenge! I like to run across streams, jump on logs, and hike the trails. I have lots of energy so will be sure to help keep up with your exercise plan. I even like to get in a jog from time to time. And, not to brag, but I am pretty smart. But, for the sake of all those delicious treats, I will pretend that it takes me time to master new tricks and skills. One more thing to tell you. I like to talk when I play. I hope you will come to meet me so we can play together forever, just you and me!

Bear

Doberman Pinscher

Male, 5 yrs 1 mo
Arlington, VA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
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. DAR&E adopts to MD, VA, DC, DE, eastern parts of WV and southern parts of PA. Please check with other Doberman rescues in areas not listed.

Alara

Doberman Pinscher

Female, Young
Arlington, VA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Alara, a bright eyed, black and tan, female Doberman with natural ears and a docked tail. She is approximately one year old and weighs 55 pounds. Alara is a lover and adores having her ears and shoulders massaged. She loves resting her head in your hand or on your leg. Alara entered foster care with DAR&E in early February. She knows “sit” and has been working on crate training and the cues “wait/release”, “laydown”, and “leave it”. She’s very treat motivated, and has been doing great with training. Alara loves her crate, thinking of it as a big treat dispenser, and often going in by herself to take a nap. Currently she’s been practicing with shorter periods of time in her crate. It will be a while longer before she can be left for hours every day. Around the house she’s fairly independent in playing with toys and trotting around. Outside, she adores walks and walking around the yard. Overall she doesn’t seem to mind the chilly temperatures and navigates walking on the snow/icy spots well. As a young pup, daily exercise is very important. She's a bit nervous at the vet and around new things, showing her nervousness with barking. She responds well and is able to reset and settle in a short amount of time. Alara will require an adopter with prior Doberman or working dog experience, and someone, providing structure in her life and exposing her to things little by little. She will also need someone who has experience with younger dogs, providing appropriate chews and toys and understanding puppyish behavior. In Alara’s first several days, she reacted to new noises by barking. She’d bark when the heating unit came on or the refrigerator came on and would also bark at external noises. We started calmly saying the word “noisy” and have seen a huge difference in Alara’s composure, and also her ability to bark a little and then settle. Both when she’s relaxed and after she’s been a bit worked up we’ve been saying “you’re fine”. This has really been helping with her being more relaxed, her ability to fairly quickly calm after getting worked up, and her need for human connection. She will need an adopter’s continuing help with desensitization and also gradually and slowly seeing a dog at a distance and determining her level of comfort. Alara is a sweet, loving girl who hasn’t had the best start in life. She will thrive with a kind, patient person. Alara is being fostered in Maryland and would love to meet you! DAR&E adopts to MD, VA, DC, DE, eastern parts of WV and southern parts of PA. Please check with other Doberman rescues in areas not listed.
