My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Nyx is a beautiful, blue and tan, 70 lbs, spayed female Doberman.  She was used for breeding until she came to us a couple years ago and was recently returned due to separation anxiety (she has not show any separation anxiety when housed with another dog). She loves to go for car rides and is great in a vehicle. She also loves going on long hikes and has perfect recall. She has shown some leash reactivity to other dogs in one of her previous homes, but we have not seen this, and she walks wonderfully on a head halter. She is also muzzle trained. She LOVES kids and she also LOVES playing fetch. She is happy to go outside to do her business and has never had an accident in the house. She is currently being fostered with a male Doberman and female Boston Terrier (who is about 30 lbs.). We would prefer her to go to a home with a male large breed dog as she will chase small dogs and cats if given the opportunity.



Nyx is happy to snuggle up and watch movies for hours. She does have some pretty extreme separation anxiety if she is the only dog in the home, so we recommend that she go to a home with an easygoing, large male dog. If she is left home completely alone, she must be crated in a solid kennel (no wire crates). She should also not be left alone in a vehicle or she may be destructive. With that said, Nyx really loves her toys and can be a bit guardy of them (with other dogs only, she has never shown aggression to humans). She does get nervous around new dogs and takes a while to warm up. She needs an experienced owner who is comfortable with reading dog body language and managing dog-dog interactions.



Nyx does not like cold weather. She will still go outside to do her thing, but she watches to make sure someone is waiting for her by the door. She will destroy any dog toy in record time. She refuses to go near the basement or down stairs. Nyx is protective of her people and her home.



Nyx has been spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Her adoption fee is $500. All adopters must agree not to use any punitive training methods including, but not limited to, leash corrections; pinning; alpha rolls; and prong, pinch, choke, shock, or e-collars. Apply to adopt Nyx by submitting our adoption application at https://adoptadobe.com/adoption-application/.

More about this rescue

Adopt-a-Dobe is a not-for-profit rescue society located near Edmonton, Alberta. Our purpose is to rehabilitate and rehome Dobermans in need throughout Western Canada (BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan).

We support the ethical breeding of purebred dogs and will always work to reunite displaced dogs with their breeder if possible.

We advocate for rewards-based training methods and believe that using humane, effective, evidence-based behavior modification is an integral part of promoting animal welfare and responsible pet ownership.
