My story

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

I am unable to keep my dog with me due to HOA/Insurance restrictions. Rookie is a 6ish year old Doberman/Shepherd mix that is obsessed with fetch and loves being tasked with a job. He is professionally trained and knows all the basic commands (sit, up, place, shake, leave it, get it, down, speak, and more). Fully vaxed, neutered, and house-trained. He was adopted from the Milo Foundation back in 2019.

Ideally this person has experience with smart and highly trainable dogs. A trainer would be great and a backyard would be even better. He attends daycare at Happy Hound and has never had an issue. He has however, had one incident where he broke the skin of a hooded person walking back on a walk. He can be aggressive out of fear/anxiety, but perhaps that is on me and our relationship. I really think a patient and knowledgable person can make Rookie the perfect dog. He has all the skills and desires, just needs the right match. He's better with women as well it seems!
