Story
Rooster is located in TEXAS. There are not enough homes for all the unwanted dogs down there, so he is willing to relocate for a good, loving, forever home. This handsome boy was found as a stray running out in the country. He is approximately 7 months old and weighs 45 pounds. He will probably weigh in the 60-pound range when fully grown. We are not sure of his breed mixture but think he may have some lab and Doberman in him. Rooster has a great personality and disposition. He loves all of the other rescue dogs, big and small. He loves people and will lie at your feet whenever he can. He loves water and the garden fountain is his favorite spot to hang out and keep cool. Rooster is a very sweet and goofy puppy. He is pretty much house-trained and runs to go outside with his buddies. He will need some leash training and would probably do better with a harness. We have no idea of how he is with cats. Rooster loves to run and play with his dog friends and toys. He may not be suitable for a home with small children because he may knock them over when running and playing. Rooster needs a fully fenced-in and secure yard. He will be a great dog for hiking or going to the dog park. He is an active boy and will run around the yard with a toy in his mouth playing tag with his buddies. He likes to be the leader and have everyone chase him. Rooster would do well either as an only dog or with other dogs. Rooster is a healthy and happy boy. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, (DAPP, Bordatella, rabies, canine influenza), and microchipped. He is receiving monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventatives. Roosters' adoption fee includes the cost of ground transport by a reputable and trusted transport company to Columbus, Akron, or Cincinnati Ohio. Rooster resides with our friends at Shaggy Dog Rescue and cannot be transported until after he is adopted. Please email kathy@houstonshaggydogrescue.org if you are interested in adopting this good boy. You may also find them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/houstonshaggydogrescue

Adopting a Doberman Pinscher

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Doberman Pinscher - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

Doberman puppies are expensive because of the high demand for these dogs. Responsible breeders may perform genetic testing and health screenings on the parent dogs and their puppies and provide quality care, nutrition, and vaccinations. Unethical breeders, puppy mills, and scammers charge high fees for unhealthy Doberman puppies too. Do your research, and consider adopting from your local animal shelter or Doberman rescue.

A Doberman costs around $300 when they’re adopted from a rescue or shelter. This covers the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Dobermans from a breeder can be much more expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500.

You can start a breed search on Adopt a Pet to adopt a Doberman. The search will show you all the available Dobermans in your area. You can also adopt a Doberman through a rescue that specializes in Dobermans.

Doberman Pinscher fun facts

Fun Facts:

In 2007, a Doberman Pinscher saved a child from a deadly snake in Australia. The family dog had just been adopted four days prior; he was playing in the garden when he spotted the King Brown snake and quickly put himself between the snake and the toddler.

Doberman Pinschers were culled from Black and Tan Terriers (Manchesters) and German Shepherds, German Pinschers, Weimeraners, and Rottweilers.

The Doberman Pinscher is the only working dog that was bred to be a human companion.
