About Mookie

Mookie is a charming Doberman Pinscher looking for a fospice home to spend his golden years. At seven years old, he still has plenty of love to give. This gentle giant prefers lounging over antics, and while he's crate trained, he enjoys the calm of a serene home. Mookie is not fond of cats and would rather avoid rowdy dogs, but he does welcome gentle interactions with people and older kids. His daily routine involves medications, and he's on a slow kill treatment for heartworms. Mookie can navigate a few steps, but he will need help with a full set of stairs or getting into tall vehicles. Meals need to be made into mush due to his few remaining teeth. Volunteer State Doberman Rescue covers all of his vetting, medications, food, and other necessities. If you’re ready to provide comfort and love to this sweet boy, he would love to meet you. Make his next chapter a loving one; apply today!
