Story
Goofy is just what his name says, GOOFY! Goofy was pulled from LMAS because he needed longer to get a home because of his special needs. This what his foster parents had to say about him: "Goofy is the sweetest! He's basically a brindle colored tank! He loves being anywhere you are. He loves giving kisses and hugs. He tends to put his whole body weight on you when he loves on you because he just doesn't know what personal space is. His tail hasn't stopped wagging since he's been with us. He's really just a happy dog! He's so happy, he probably wouldn't make the best guard dog because he just wags his tail at every delivery person or neighbor he sees out of the window. At first he was timid, scared and confused but now everyone is his friend! Sometimes he gets things he's not supposed to like shoes or a cat dishes but he always just brings them to us and then walks away. When you tell him no about it, he just wags his tail and gives you a half smile. He loves going on walks and does well on a leash. He always needs something to do so toys in abundance are his best friends! He will even bring those to you to show them off! When he gets super excited, he chatters his teeth and drools a little. Unfortunately we haven't been able to successfully integrate him in with our resident dogs but hes doing well with the cats. So he would be best in an only dog home. He does seem to like to watch the bearded dragon, too! He would also be best with older children. Someone needs a little goofy in their lives, why not adopt this goofy guy??" Goofy is a neutered, 2 year old, Treeing Tennessee Brindle/Pit mix. He is UTD on vaccines and microchipped. He is potty trained and speciality crate trained. Goofy is also looking for a foster home so his current foster parents can help save other special needs dogs. Please fill out an application on our website for this sweet guy or reach out with any questions!

Coco

Doberman Pinscher

Female, 8 yrs 3 mos

Story
UPDATE: Coco “Bean” came to BDR a few months ago, so overweight walking the neighborhood was too much. Today, the slimmer girl is now doing interval training with her foster mom. Her high prey drive makes way for hours in the yard squirrel hunting, she even try to climb the trees with her new figure. She will do better with similar sized dogs. This lady loves and demands cuddles and sometimes you can get a glimpse of a grin. ——————————- Coco is a stunningly beautiful fawn girl that is 8 years old. Her life has been spent being a Mama dog but now it's time for Coco to be spoiled. Her foster Mom says Coco is the sweetest girl she has ever had. Loves to lay in the sunshine. But like many dobies does not care for fireworks or thunderstorms. To soothe her during these stressful times she will carry around her foster Mom's shoe and that makes her feel better. Guess it's like having her puppies again. Currently lives with a very young dobie boy and she tolerates him for the most part. As you can imagine Coco isn't wanting to be bothered with a young pup too much, she has done that enough in life. Coco is looking for a family that wants to treat her like the queen bee that she deserves to be. A stroll around the neighborhood or just relaxing in the yard with her people will be her ideal day.

Story
Steel, or Cowboy Steel as his foster calls him, was a stray so we don't know his story but we do know he was found with another dog. He has been fine with the female dog in his foster home and also the kitties. Steel's foster and vet are estimating him to be around 8 years old. He has some vision issues although he can still see it's just not as good as when he was a young pup. Despite him being a "senior dobe" he still has plenty of energy. Loves to go out in the yard to run and play with toys. If you are looking for a dobie that will be your companion and best friend then this cowboy is waiting for you to apply.

Ellie

Doberman Pinscher

Female, 1 yr 1 mo
Louisville, KY
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ellie is a fun-loving firecracker of a girl! Just shy of 1 year old (turns 1 at the end of October) she is chalk FULL of dobie puppy energy and sass! She gets along great w/her 2 foster brothers (a 1.5-year-old male Doberman and a 3-year-old male Aussie/Lab/Border Collie mix) and is pretty respectful with the 3-year-old female Doberman staying on vacation with us! Miss Ellie knows the basics, sit, lay down, wait and is pretty decent w/her recall (when she wants to be) and has plenty of smarts to learn more! She is crate trained, but she can be dramatic and throw a tantrum on occasion, she would rather be out playing. She LOVES to go on walks but is a mild puller and weaver. Ellie is a super sweet, smart, and affectionate girl, but due to her high puppy energy she can run through a room like a little jack rabbit wrecking ball as well as get a little puppy mouthy when playing. Ellie would thrive with an active family with a big, physically fenced back yard and a buddy (or two) and maybe some older children to keep her busy!

Tsunami

Doberman Pinscher

Male, Young
Louisville, KY
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Tsunami came to our rescue from a shelter in the south, he was part of a cruelty case. We are not exactly sure how old he is but somewhere around 1 to 2 years old, however he has nothing but puppy energy. His foster says Tsunami is the sweetest boy and always smiling. His play style with other dogs is pretty rough so he will need a friend of his own size and willing to tolerate puppy play. No little dogs or cats due to high prey drive. From his rocky start he is now learning to be a well-mannered dog but still needs lot of patience and help with this. Obedience training will be a must. Taking a class with your new dobie family member is a great way to bond along with teaching him some manners. If you are looking for an energetic dobie boy that gives lots of love to his people, then maybe Tsunami is your boy. A physically fenced yard is a requirement. No little kids (at least 10 years and up) since he still has a lot of energy and needs someone to focus a lot of their attention on his training.

Story
The name Greta means Pearl. This girl is more like a diamond…in the rough (ruff?) Yes, she’s a beautiful, petite 50-pound Doberman but she has some behavior issues. Greta ended up in rescue after a fatal incident with a small dog in her home. Therefore, she will NOT be placed in a home with other small dogs, cats, or critters smaller than she is. This girl has what we call a HIGH PREY DRIVE. We will also require her new family to have a PHYSICALLY FENCED yard (that means no underground fencing). She gets along great with dogs her size and energy level yet will escalate during play and may need timeouts to calm down. Previous Doberman experience is highly suggested for her adopter. Additionally, Greta may exhibit the Pincsher part of being a Doberman Pinscher and may nip at strangers. She is also a counter surfer and jumper. Food is everything to Greta! Her food, your food, another dog’s food. It’s all supposed to be hers, she thinks. This cutie pie likes to greet you by jumping up on you. Greta would NOT do well in a home with young children because of this jumping and the likelihood of knocking over a little person. All these behaviors are being worked on and Greta will need an owner committed to continuing with obedience training and positive reinforcement. Her exuberant personality and graceful stride would make Greta an excellent agility competitor. She has great recall and loves to run off-leash, when given the chance. Her current foster does 60-90 minutes of daily exercise with her to increase her stamina and help burn off her energy. Greta would greatly benefit if she is given a job to do! Greta is crate trained and will come with her own impact crate. (She’s an escape artist). Housebreaking is an ongoing task and when crated, she scratches to let you know when it’s time to go out. This soon-to-be 18 month old has a lot of affection to give. She wants to please but is at that terrible teenager stage and knows how to use her cuteness to make you give into her antics. There’s an award winning level snuggler and a great canine passenger inside that petite frame of hers. Knows basic commands and has the absolute cutest little Milk Dud eyes. With dedication to help Greta to overcome her issues, she came become a precious gem, whether a polished pearl or a sparkly diamond.
