About Blitz

Meet Blitz, an impressive 85-pound Doberman male eager to find his forever home. At nearly 3 years old, he boasts a stunning dark red coat, almost chocolate in color, and is a striking presence. Currently training in the Los Angeles area, Blitz is working through some fears and quirks from his past. While he can be affectionate with those he knows, he has displayed wariness towards strangers, particularly in tight spaces. His training is making a positive impact, helping him manage his stubborn streak. Blitz shines when it comes to other dogs; he has previously thrived alongside a female Doberman in his foster home. However, due to his size and strength, a home without small children is essential. Blitz has a high energy level and would thrive in a yard where he can run freely. It's worth noting that Blitz is hypothyroid, requiring affordable medication long-term. With his stronger build and larger head, he reflects traits often seen in European Dobermans. Anyone looking to adopt him should have prior experience with Dobermans or large breeds due to his impressive size and spirit. Ready to meet this wonderful dog? Apply today!
