Hand Me Down Dobes, Proper Food and Weight

Available Dobermans from Hand Me Down Dobes

Gypsy

Hi, my name is Gypsy! I am a 3-year-old dobergirl with natural ears and a docked tail. I am a full of energy like most Dobermans my age with a lean svelte figure and super shiny coat. I was a loved dog who unfortunately has found myself in need of a new home through no fault of my own, my humans had a human baby and felt I needed a home that could devote the attention I need to grow into a confident and well-behaved adult Doberman.

I am nervous in new situations but if introduced properly I warm up and love being near my humans, the picture of a Velcro girl. I would prefer to be an only dog and we don’t know how I feel about those furry things that say “meow” so probably best in a home without cats as well. Because of my energy I require a fenced in yard to keep me safe but I have shown that I am very respectful of these type of boundaries. I am looking for a patient owner that can help me expand on the basic obedience commands and grow into a confident well-adjusted girl, do you want to be my forever home?

Hazel

Hi, name is Hazel! I am a 2 year old spayed dobergirl that looks absolutely stunning from every angle if I do say so myself, a true picture of the breed! I find myself looking for a home because my human was gone too often and they felt I needed a home where I would get more attention which by the way I LOVE. I will sit next to my foster parents and accept pets for as long as they are willing to give them. I love cuddles and enjoy soft blankets, stuffed kongs and elk antlers for my chewies. I would do best with an owner that is home often so I can be close to them and soak up all that attention!

I am respectful of a fence and would love to have a fenced in yard to play ball and run in, I also have a moderate pray drive so expect squirrel chasing. I LOVE to chase a ball and would enjoy spending time outside with my human. I know basic obedience commands and need an owner that will work with me to grow and improve my skills. I am somewhat like an only child, I enjoy all the attention and would do best as an only dog in a home and would be best without cats as well. Do you want to give me cuddles and love?

Roo

Roo the doberman up for adoption at Hand Me Down Dobes

Lovely Roo was regrettably surrendered when her owners found they did not have the time to devote to a young working dog. Roo is a red cropped and docked diva girl. She is going to be 3 yrs old in January and would love to be settled into a new home for her next trip around the sun. Although she is very unique and special in her own ways, many of her behaviors and mannerisms fall into the "typical red girl" category. Roo is always up for a party... provided she is the host and provided she is shown the respect she commands. She is always on the move! For example, after her daily 3 mile walk, she looks at her foster parents as if to say "that was great, but what's next?" She loves the company of other like sized dogs. She plays rough so we aren't sure how she would do with smaller dogs. She's a huge snuggler and will lay her head on her person's shoulder and drift off to sleep. She walks very well on a leash but can tend to be a bit reactive when coming across new people and dogs. Her foster parents are working diligently to curb this behavior with redirecting and treat distractions; she is making great progress, however this will need to be kept up by her new owner if she is expected to go for walks in a populated neighborhood. Roo loves toys! Those that keep her busy are hard chews and rubber balls, stuffies need to be disemboweled within minutes of introduction.

She knows quite a few requests but is excited to expand her vocabulary once settled into her new home. She currently knows: sit, down, stay, come, rings a bell to go outside, and has mastered a doggy door. Her nose is her fifth appendage and she is overly generous with "boops". Her problem solving skills are impeccable, including not only learning useful skills during training, but she can also open automatic trash cans, plastic tubs with snap down locks, and counter tops. Really, if there is a food reward involved, she will pull out all of the stops to net her some treats.

She has an intense prey drive so she cannot live with cats or pocket pets. We would rate her energy level as high, requiring ample amounts of both physical and mental stimulation. Breed experience would be a plus as she does tend have some Queen Bee tendencies. She also requires a fenced yard with a 4' height minimum.

Vixen

Hi, I’m Vixen, a 2 ½ year old red girl with natural ears and a docked tail and still have the look of a puppy a bit, I’m adorable right? I come into rescue as an owner surrender, I struggled with getting along with their other dog and they thought it best to find a new home for me. What can I say? I want to be the Queen of my castle and the only apple of my human’s eye so I would do best in a home where I am the only pet. I am very high energy as would be expected for a dobergirl my age and I am always on the move! I will need a fence to keep me safe but know that you will never have to worry about small animals invading your yard while I am on duty, I have a high prey drive and love to chase those little guys! However, just because I love to chase know that I am very respectful of boundaries including the fence.

Speaking of chase, did I mention I also LOVE to chase a ball and will play in the yard with you for hours, my foster Mom also says I would be a great candidate for nose work, boy am I excited to learn more about that, it sounds fun! Besides playing ball I love stuffed kongs and chewing on elk antlers, blankets and soft toys don’t last long around me because I love to shred them so the tougher toys definitely work best! I would love to find a family or owner with an active lifestyle that wants to spend the time expanding my basic obedience skills I already have and be able to keep up with my high energy. Do you want to make me your permanent playmate?
