About Finn

Finn is high-energy and thrives on play and time with his people. He’s accustomed to being around young children between ages 3 and 11 and does well with them—just keep in mind that Finn's a good-sized dog who isn’t always aware of his strength. To keep Finn happy, he needs plenty of exercise and space to run. He’s lived around chickens, a goat, cats, and another dog (a dachshund) and has tolerated them all when supervised, though due to his size and energy level, he should never be left unsupervised around other, especially male, dogs. Finn is neutered and will go home with a crate, training collar, and bowls. His ideal adopter can provide references from a veterinarian and understands that Finn can be anxious, so some patience and a steady environment are important. He’d do best in a home with no other male dogs. If you’d like to bring home a Doberman ready for action—and affection—Finn could be a strong match for you. Ready to meet your new best friend?
