About Blitz

Meet Blitz, an impressive male Doberman in Ventura, CA, weighing in at a solid 85 pounds. His dark, chocolate-red coat and strong, European Doberman build make him truly striking. Blitz is almost three years old and brings a mix of bold presence and affectionate loyalty to the right home. He’s currently working with trainers in Los Angeles, making huge progress overcoming previous fears and wariness around unfamiliar people, especially in tight spaces. Blitz is deeply bonded with those he trusts, though he still shows a stubborn streak from time to time, as Dobies often do. He’s well-socialized with other dogs and thrived alongside a female Doberman in his foster home. With his size and energy, Blitz needs a large yard where he can stretch his legs and play—apartment living would not suit him. A home without young children is required due to his strength. Blitz has a manageable health condition (hypo-thyroidism) which is controlled with daily medication. His adopter must be experienced with Dobermans or large dogs. Blitz is available to meet in Southern California, and his adoption fee is sponsored. Think you’re up for a rewarding, big-hearted companion like Blitz? Your new best friend is just one click away.
