Chica is a rare and radiant albino Doberman, often called a “unicorn” in the Doberman world... and once you meet her, you’ll understand why. She isn’t just stunning to look at, she carries a heart so gentle, so kind, it feels almost magical. The kind of soul who chooses love first, every single time. At just 3 years old, Chica is the full package. She’s crate trained, house trained, obedient, and deeply devoted to her people. She moves through life with a calm sweetness that makes her easy to live with and impossible not to adore. And here’s where the magic really shines... Chica is both dog AND cat friendly. Yes, truly. A unicorn in every sense of the word. Chica came from a very loving home where she was well cared for and cherished. Her owner made the incredibly selfless decision to surrender her when entering the military, knowing the long time away wouldn’t be fair to her. That choice... as hard as it was... was the ultimate act of love. Because of it, Chica now has the chance to continue living the beautiful life she deserves. She is currently in a foster-to-adopt home through United Doberman Rescue, where she’s settling in and showing just how special she is. As always, our foster families get the first opportunity to adopt. And here’s the little secret door into rescue... If you’ve been thinking about adopting, fostering is your golden ticket. It gives you the chance to truly get to know a dog in your home. If it’s the perfect match, you can adopt. If not, you’ve still changed a life forever by giving that dog a safe place to land.
