Meet Lincoln, a big (approximately 85 pounds), lovable Doberman puppy with a personality and a heart that’s just as big as he is! He's an 11-month-old blue male Doberman with cropped ears and a docked tail. Due to his age, Lincoln requires a fully-fenced yard. Lincoln is a sweetheart who enjoys attention and companionship, but he’s also happy to entertain himself with toys or a good bone when you’re busy. He loves being outside, and one of his favorite activities is chasing the Jolly Ball around the yard. Like most young Dobermans, Lincoln has energy and curiosity, and he’ll thrive with a family that enjoys being active and including their dog in daily life. Lincoln walks nicely on leash with an Easy Walk harness and already knows “sit" and "paw" and "crate." He's learning not to hop up when greeting new people. He’s easily redirected and food-motivated. He takes treats very gently. He occasionally barks excitedly at other dogs on leash; he has not had the opportunity to meet another dog off leash yet while in foster. Because he’s still a young Doberman, Lincoln will do best with a family that will provide consistent mental and physical exercise and continue building on his training. Lincoln is house-trained and crate-trained. When it’s time to relax, Lincoln settles nicely in his crate when unsupervised. He is learning the routine of home life. He sleeps through the night in his crate. Lincoln is a friendly, young Doberman who is ready to grow up with a family that will give him structure, activity, and plenty of love. In return, he’ll give you loyal companionship and probably plenty of enthusiastic Jolly Ball games. Lincoln is fostered in Virginia. 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.
