About Alonna

Alonna is a striking three-year-old Doberman Pinscher with a glossy black coat, natural ears, and that signature dignified look. She’s a touch more anxious than the average Doberman, but she quickly wins people—and dogs—over with her gentle heart. Socializing with other dogs is a favorite pastime, though she likes to set the rules and would be happiest with a more submissive male companion of similar size and age. Alonna does best with soft-spoken, clear directions and calm leadership to help her build confidence. She’s sharp and a quick study, and an obedience class would suit her well. Life at home is easy with Alonna—she’s house trained, crate trained, and can handle car rides with ease. She’s polite with dog-savvy cats but isn’t 100% reliable on recall, so she needs a fenced yard. Alonna is known for collecting shoes and items of clothing that remind her of her favorite humans to chew on, so keep laundry tucked away. She eats with gusto and needs a slow feeder bowl to keep her mealtime at a healthy pace. This sensitive and smart girl deserves a patient, understanding family. She’ll thrive in a quieter home—preferably with adults or older kids who give her space when she needs it. She’s waiting in Columbus, OH, for the right person to help her grow into the dog she can be. Start your journey together! Apply now.
