Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Atticus is a stunning and social male Doberman with natural ears and a docked tail. He was found in California as a stray and was very underweight. He has gained good weight and is happy and healthy now.
- 75 pounds and approximately 5 years old
- Happy, engaged, people-focused boy. Loves everyone he meets!
- Did well with other dogs in the shelter playgroups. We prefer a female dog if there is another dog in your home. He is currently fostered with a family who has no other pets.
- Crate trained and readily goes into the crate for a treat. Sleeps in his crate at night and does well with that.
- Fenced yard preferred. This boy loves to zoom and can be active.
- Settles nicely in the home and naps while his foster mom works from home.
- Does pull on leash and will need continued work to encourage him to walk with less pulling.
- No leash reactivity noted
- Has a prey drive for squirrels and likes to watch for them. He is likely not compatible for an adoptive home with cats.
- Cuddles, leans in like Dobermans do and enjoys attention and affection from humans.
- Fostered with a 9 year old child and does well
Atticus is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, dewormed and current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. His adoption fee also includes a free wellness exam at one of our partner veterinary clinics in Oregon City, Milwaukie, Tualatin or Portland.
$300 adoption fee

All of our dogs are in foster homes that help them to learn to be good house guests. Our foster dogs thrive in a home environment rather than a scary shelter where they would become stressed. Plus we gain lots of good information about the dog's personalities in a foster home setting.
All foster homes are located within 45 minutes of Portland, Oregon. Once we receive your adoption application and chat with you, we will provide you the foster home's contact information that has the dog you're interested in meeting.
