Catalina is a stunning female Doberman, who is dog friendly, on the submissive side and a typical Velcro Doberman - she so badly will want to cuddle with you on the couch.
Catalina instantly bonds with women. She has lived with men and will solicit some affection but generally defaults back to any women within the home.
- Approximately 4 years old and 74 pounds
- Docked tail, cropped ears that do not stand
- Excellent with other dogs and instantly wants to play. Has a typical fast, all legs, Doberman play style.
- Cat workable. During her cat test Catalina was curious but also backed off the cat. When the cat swatted her and hissed she jumped backwards and retreated. We feel she can likely do ok in a home with dog savvy cats and an adopter willing to do a slow introduction to set boundaries with her towards a cat.
- Social with people
- Kids ages 10+ if there are kids in the home. Catalina has lived with multiple young children but her playful exuberance has accidentally knocked a child down before so we recommend no young children.
- Potty trained
- Crate trained and sleeps in her crate at night
- Not leash reactive
- Loads in the car and rides nicely, no car sickness noted
- Loves water and to hop in a kiddie pool during hot summer months
- Smart and trainable with a high food drive. A professional trainer was volunteering her time to train Catalina while she was in rescue in California awaiting adoption or rescue placement. Catalina knows the following obedience cues: sit, down, touch, spin, leave it and likes to follow close to your side in a heel position.
- Sweetheart of a Doberman with a soft temperament
Catalina does come with a sad back story. This lovely girl was dumped by her owner with her sister in a rural orchard in California. Catalina had likely given birth to at least one or two litters. She had a large gash on her stomach that needed to be closed and had been shot with a BB gun. Approximately 8 BBs remain in her hind leg but do not cause her any issues and two vets we have consulted have both said to leave the BBs alone and not try to remove them which would be extremely complicated. She does not show any signs of lameness.
Because Catalina was so neglected and abused, she definitely needs an understanding owner that will be patient with her when she hesitates or gets spooked.
Catalina is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, microchipped, current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention and has had multiple rounds of dewormer. Her adoption fee includes a free wellness exam at either of our partner veterinary clinics in Oregon City, Milwaukie, Tualatin or Portland.
