About Stitch

Meet Stitch, a 77-pound Doberman Pinscher with an irresistibly sweet, gentle nature and a serious love for lap time.

At six years old, he’s well-mannered, gentle, and has been cherished his whole life—his circumstances changed only because his family split up. Stitch gets along with everyone: he’s friendly with other social dogs, has no issues around kids of any age, and is more wary than aggressive with cats—mostly keeping his distance but showing patience and no prey drive. He’s comfortable meeting new people and settles into new situations with an easygoing charm. Stitch’s vaccinations are current, he is heartworm negative, and his neuter is on the schedule. House trained and happy to share space with other friendly pets, Stitch just needs a home—permanent or foster—that wants a big, affectionate companion. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
