My personality

My story

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

Say hello to Dexter!
Dexter is a rambunctious 1-year-old blue male Doberman who came to DPRPA from BARCS in Baltimore, MD. He got loose from his yard and ran up to someone walking their two dogs. Unfortunately, the two dogs felt they needed to defend their owner and attacked Dexter causing some significant injuries. Once he was healed up, he was returned to his owner and he was later picked up by animal control officers when he was found living in poor conditions. DPRPA was notified and we worked to get him into foster care.

Due to his previous attack Dexter is reactive to other dogs when walking on a leash. Because of this we sent him through a 17 day in-home dog training boot camp. While he made great progress Dexter will need a family who is willing to continue to work on his obedience, and leash reactivity. Dexter loves to train and would do great in a home who wants to help him learn and grow.

With proper introductions Dexter loves playing with other dogs, but may do best in a home as an only dog. Dexter is a very high energy dog and can sometimes be too much for another dog if they do not match his energy level. He absolutely LOVES his people! He loves children as well, but due to his size and activity level his future family would need to be conscious of his activity around small children.

Dexter is currently located in Annapolis, MD.

Go meet their pets

All dogs are in foster homes in various parts of central and eastern PA as well as central NJ. We do adopt dogs out of state as long as the potential adopter is willing to drive to where the dog is being fostered for a meet and greet and to take the dog home. We do not ship dogs and we do not have a central location.
