About Killian

Killian is a striking two-year-old black and rust Doberman with natural, velvety-soft ears and a docked tail. He lands right between playful energy and full-on lounging—give him a good outlet for his zoomies, and he’s ready to sprawl out in the yard and soak up the sunshine. This is a dog who thrives with routine, clear rules, and steady leadership. Inside the house, his manners are top notch: potty trained and happy to hang out in his crate, especially if there are treats involved. On walks, Killian is curious and alert, eager to sniff every tree and bush along the way. He’s built like an athlete and quick, so his adopter should feel confident handling him on leash. Social and friendly with people and other dogs, Killian is still figuring out the boundaries of his size—he tends to plow right through if he gets excited, so an adult-only home or one with older kids suits him best. He’s very food motivated and liable to swipe snacks unattended, so counters are fair game unless you’re watchful. Killian is loyal and sweet, happiest chilling in a fenced yard—unless it’s raining, in which case he’s strictly an indoor guy. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
