Meet Killian, a stunning two-year-old black and rust Doberman with soft natural ears and a docked tail who is looking for his forever home. This handsome boy is the perfect blend of athletic energy and lounge-ready affection, though he thrives best in an environment that provides clear structure and consistent leadership. While he has settled beautifully into his foster home, Killian is still a young, powerful dog who needs a bit of exercise to burn off his zoomies before he is ready to enjoy his favorite pastime: finding a sunny spot in the yard to lay down and soak up the rays. He is exceptionally well-behaved in the house, boasting perfect potty manners and a great relationship with his crate—especially if a couple of treats are involved in the process. On his daily walks, Killian is a curious explorer who loves to sniff every tree and bush, though his new owners should be prepared for his strength; he is quite quick and powerful on a leash and requires a confident hand to guide him. While he is incredibly friendly and excitable when meeting new people or playing with other dogs, he is still learning the boundaries of his own size. Because he doesn’t quite realize how big he is and can accidentally knock little ones over in his excitement, he would do best in an adult-only home or one with older children. Potential adopters should also be mindful of his "counter-surfing" skills, as he is a clever food motivated boy who isn't above snatching a burger the moment your back is turned! Killian is a loyal, sweet companion who will make a wonderful addition to a home with a fenced-in yard where he can continue his sunbathing routine—just don't expect him to spend much time out there if it's raining, as he much prefers staying dry indoors.
