About Dottie

Dottie, an adult female Doberman Pinscher, is ready to find a loving home. She’s had her share of challenges, including a healed leg injury, but that hasn’t slowed her down one bit. Dottie is crate trained, housebroken, and gets along well with both small and large dogs. However, her dislike for chickens means a farm-like setting would not suit her. She hasn’t been exposed to young children, so it's unclear how she would react to them. Dottie thrives best in a home where someone understands working breeds. A securely fenced yard and a heartworm preventative regimen are essential for her well-being. A home visit and vet check will also be required.
