My personality

My story

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

Athena is a beautiful female Doberman with a sleek black and tan coat, natural ears, and a docked tail. She is approximately 4 to 5 years old. Found in a parking lot in Arizona, she has been through quite the journey to our rescue and is now looking for her forever home.

Athena adores people and is friendly with strangers, always happy to join you on walks, car rides, and outings to stores like Lowe’s. Her favorite pastimes include running, playing, and using her blanket as a pacifier. While she’s been a fantastic foster dog, she needs to be the only dog in her new home due to her resource guarding tendencies with food and toys. Due to this, we recommend a home with no small children. Athena thrives in a structured environment and has shown incredible loyalty and affection towards those she bonds with.

She is house-trained, crate-trained, leash-trained, and spayed. Athena loves spending time outside but prefers cooler weather. She has a high prey drive, especially with small animals like squirrels, and would do best in a home without cats or small animals.

If you’re looking for a smart, active, and loving companion who will be devoted to you, Athena might just be the perfect fit! Apply here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DPR/Dog

Adoption application

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.

More about this rescue

DPR of PA, Inc. was founded in 1986 by Pam Taylor and incorporated under its present name in 1989. The organization consists of a network of foster homes around Harrisburg, Reading, and York, PA, as well as central NJ. Foster homes are always needed. If you can foster, please complete our application at https://www.dprpa.org/adopt-foster.

All Dobes that come into our rescue receive a full physical and behavioral exam and temperament evaluation which helps match them with the appropriate family. In addition, all dogs are spayed or neutered and current on vaccinations. We also serve as a resource to educate and assist Dober owners and are here to offer knowledgeable advice and answer questions if needed about your Dobe.
