My story

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

Meet Lou!

Breed: Doberman

Age: 5

Location: Kelowna, BC

Personality: Lou loves to play and run around. He's got lots of energy and likes to explore around. He is quite affectionate and needs love and attention often. He is always on guard and will let you know when someone is on your property. Is great at giving kisses and cuddles.

Is crate trained and potty trained. Needs work on recall and can be leash reactive, but is quite easy to redirect.

Likes: Kongs filled with frozen fruit and peanut butter. Going for walks. Practicing tricks. Likes all toys especially toys he can rip the stuffing out of. Playing with other dogs.

Dislikes: When dogs pester him and/or ignore him when he says he is done playing. Strangers approaching his property without proper introduction.

Ideal Home: Lou would be best in a home where he could have a job.

He would like to have a window to look out of during the day. Lou requires a consistent owner who can establish and maintain boundaries in a gentle way. Lou is not currently allowed on furniture as he has shown irritability and has air snapped at his foster when disrupted on the couch.

‍‍‍ Family: Good with female dogs. Best to go to an adult only home due to behavior referenced above. No cats please!

Health: Due to his albinism, Lou may have allergies and sensitivity to the environment and/or certain proteins.

He cannot be in the direct sun for long periods of time without skin and eye protection (he has a pair of Rex Specs that will come with him). Lou recently had masses on his eyelid and chest removed, which were both benign. He has a tooth that may require removal in the future, but that is not causing him any issues right now.

Adoption Fee: $500

Lou has been neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. All adopters must agree not to use any punitive training methods.

Apply to adopt Lou by submitting our adoption application at https://adoptadobe.com/adoption-application/. Please note that we do not ship dogs and all adoptions require a home visit and meet and greet prior to finalization.

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.
