Maisey is a beautiful 1-year-old blue Dobergirl with natural ears. As a sweet and affectionate girl, she needs patient owners who can provide guidance and support. A home experienced in caring for Doberman puppies is essential for Maisey. No small dogs or cats – please. Maisey will flourish in a home with older children with minimal visitors and a comparable sized playmate. She demonstrates excellent walking skills with a front clip harness and is potty trained. Continued crate training is necessary, although she sleeps soundly on a dog bed beside her foster mom. To ensure her emotional well-being, ongoing socialization efforts are required. Maintaining a tidy environment is crucial, as she tends to destroy blankets, shoes and stuffed animals. A physical fence is necessary to ensure her safety.

Meet Bolt!
This 2-year-old black and rust male with natural ears and a docked tail makes the energizer bunny, look lazy. Coming to us from an Ohio shelter, Bolt is friendly with everyone he meets. He is crate-trained, motivated by food, and displays a strong desire to learn. With consideration for his age, Bolt exhibits sporadic “puppy brain” incidents and tends to get into trouble if his physical and mental requirements are unmet.
With his boundless energy, this youngster needs toys that can keep up. A favorite ball is always by his side, and he loves engaging in what feels like, a never ending game of fetch. As his physical and mental needs are satisfied, he will radiate joy and affection, snuggling up with his people. Bolt’s foster parents have been refining his leash manners during their daily walks, and gentle leader training has been a success, though he’ll need a bit more support with this in his new home.
Bolt lives with a female Doberman; however, he has not shown considerable interest in engaging in play with her. His priorities are straightforward, consisting of three things: his people, his ball, and spending time outside in the sun.
Bolt will thrive in the care of experienced dog owners who can offer a secure adults-only household. To reach his full potential, Bolt necessitates kind, caring, and patient owners who possess realistic expectations for a youthful, energetic Doberman, and who will implement positive training techniques alongside ample age-appropriate exercise. Feline compatibility is unknown. A physical fence is required to offer a secure and optimal space for him to safely play with his ball and lay in the sun.

Meet Triton, a charming 5-month-old black and rust puppy with long, soft ears. Triton is more than just a visually stunning pup; he is a gentle soul with a heart overflowing with love, patiently waiting for his forever family. This affectionate, playful, and irresistibly cuddly puppy is the kind of companion who will quietly capture your heart and maybe a shoe or two (do not worry, he simply stores them in his crate for safekeeping—he reserves his chewing for toys!).
This sweet boy is making great strides in his foster home. He’s picking up house training like a champ, including keeping his kennel dry overnight! He is already crating calmly at mealtimes and bedtime and sleeps soundly all night. He’s learning the basic commands (he’ll sit for treats with a proud little tail nub wiggle) and he delights in all kinds of toys (especially the squeaky and tasty ones!) He’ll need some continued practice on a leash, but eagerly loads into cars for rides and travels like a dream!
Triton has a wonderful ability to play harmoniously with other dogs, making him an excellent fit for a household with a confident canine companion who can guide him. With an active lifestyle and plenty of engagement, he can thrive as either a solo dog or part of a pack. Although Triton can be somewhat apprehensive around sudden noises or rapid movements, his foster family is providing guidance and support to help him build confidence. With patience and love, Triton is blossoming into the happy, trusting dog he was always meant to be.
If you’re seeking a loyal companion with a tender heart and a playful spirit, Triton may just be your perfect match. He’s ready to give his forever family all the snuggles, tail nub wiggles, and quiet moments of joy that only a rescued dog can bring.

Meet Hummer, a 10-month-old red and rust male who exhibits a sweet, goofy, fun-loving, and energetic demeanor, standing at an impressive height of almost 5ft tall on his hind legs. Hummer has demonstrated considerable progress in his foster home; however, he will require continued training to resist the temptation of food left on the counter. He possesses knowledge of basic commands and is food motivated, facilitating successful training sessions. Hummer walks nicely on leash when using a martingale collar. On occasion, he becomes excited but can be easily redirected when his attention is captured. Notably, Hummer does not appear to exhibit prey drive, suggesting potential compatibility with cats.
Hummer is crate trained but sleeps soundly on his dog bed next to his devoted foster mom at night. With a flair for play, he delights in a variety of toys. He’s also a natural-born traveler, riding smoothly in the car. Hummer would enjoy a compatible playmate! Due to his “puppy energy,” he requires a playmate of similar size and energy level. A dog capable of keeping up with his running and romping without being overwhelmed is essential. If you lead an active lifestyle and can keep him relatively occupied with minimal time alone, he could potentially be an only dog. When crated, he does best in a crate with no bed, just a blanket, and a few hard toys to keep him occupied. Overall, Hummer is a well-behaved, affectionate young boy who will make a wonderful companion.

Stryder has been returned due to unforeseen circumstances. This one-year-old black and rust male with cropped ears, athletic build, and impressive intelligence is once again, looking for his forever home. He exhibits a strong working breed temperament: affectionate, intelligent, and vigilant. Protective of the home and yard, Stryder alerts to external presence and visitors. He needs continued work with socialization.
From time to time, we encounter a dog with an unwavering dedication to work. Stryder finds ultimate joy in having a job and pleasing his owner. His obedience training was highly successful, and we determined that a home with prior experience in working dogs would be most suitable. Our primary concern is to find a home that will leverage Stryder’s desire to work, guaranteeing his happiness in his permanent home.
A physical fence is necessary due to his age, prey drive and energy level. He’s crate trained and enjoys walks using a gentle leader. Patience, guidance, reassurance, and treats help to ease car anxiety.
Stryder is not a starter dog. He will thrive in an adults-only home with Doberman or working breed experience that is active and highly structured, providing him with ample opportunities to use his intelligence as well as his need to burn energy. He is unsuitable for small dogs and cats but might be compatible with a tolerant, comparable-sized companion. Regular exercise, mental challenges, and chew bones are essential.

Meet Lennox, a charming black and rust male who greets everyone he meets with a huge, toothy grin. He is celebrating his 5th birthday with us. Due to circumstances beyond his control, he was surrendered to rescue and has transitioned smoothly into foster care.
Lennox has shown a strong dislike for the crate but has proven trustworthy when left out, as long as all belongings are put away. He has a tendency to reorganize closets, drawers, and laundry. Fortunately, he does so without causing any destruction. At night, he makes sneaky attempts to jump up in the bed, he’s politely asked to get down, he whines to voice his dissatisfaction then he’ll lay down on his dog bed on the floor.
Lennox is the perfect copilot, he rides nicely in the car and he’s always ready to take on the next adventure, whether it’s the park or the hiking trails! After a nice long walk, Lennox will join you on the couch for snuggle time. Lennox dreams of a forever friend in his new home, where he’ll thrive with a canine companion by his side. Due to his high prey drive, he is not suitable for a home with cats or small animals.

Meet Shandy a vibrant 5-year-old red and rust female with cropped ears and a docked tail. Her affectionate nature is evident in her love of “car wash kisses” and snuggling. Shandy demonstrates impressive leash manners, trotting and sniffing with poise and composure. Although initially cautious, she quickly warms up to new people. Her playful and goofy demeanor serves as entertainment and keeps her foster mom laughing.
Shandy is uncomfortable with crate confinement, but she has adapted well to life outside the crate. However, she works as a professional organizer during the day, so if you leave items out or fail to close a closet door, she will reorganize your belongings. Shandy wouldn’t dream of destroying anything but she feels your things are better placed somewhere else.
Shandy is not suited for life as a single dog, but she will flourish in her new home with a male companion by her side. To ensure her safety, a fenced yard is required for yard exploration and playtime with her jolly ball.

Allard is a 5 year old black and rust dober boy who came to us from an Ohio shelter. He is super sweet and an excellent car rider who adores his humans. With his affectionate nature, this velcro dog loves being by your side and will lovingly nudge you for pets and attention.
Allard is currently in a foster home with small dogs and cats. While he does well with the cats, he does try to engage in play, so a dog-savvy cat might be his ideal feline friend. He’s also been friendly with all dogs he’s met on walks and showed no reaction to a nearby deer, highlighting his calm demeanor outdoors. He’s still learning his leash manners and pulls a bit on walks, so he’ll need continued positive reinforcement training. He is crate trained, resulting in his crate serving as a designated area for sleep and meals.
Allard has a sensitive stomach, so he requires formula food for sensitive stomachs and treat intake should be moderate. Allard will make a wonderful companion. We believe he would be suited to almost any home.

Meet Ripley, a lovable 2-year-old black and rust, cropped female with a slim, sleek, and petite build. Don’t let this pixie princess fool you, as she has boundless energy, evident from her 3-mile run with her foster mom without fatigue. She doesn’t enjoy ball or frisbee retrieval, so other activities are necessary to expend her puppy energy. She would excel in a home with a playmate who matches her energy level.
Ripley walks nicely on a leash using a harness. However, she will require continued training to address her leash reactivity while out and about, when encountering new people and dogs. Don’t even think about leaving your shoes, socks, or anything destructible within her mischievous grasp. Ripley is crate trained but she has a hidden talent for destroying beds and blankets. She’s a social butterfly around visitors in the home but can be skittish at times. Her moderate prey drive indicates potential compatibility with cats, but we do not recommend her for households with small children. A fenced yard is a requirement.

Kimble is a 4 year old black and rust female with soft natural ears and a docked tale. Kimble came to us from an Ohio shelter, where she was plotting her great escape. For three whole months, she was on the run before being caught. She successfully evaded the dog warden, local residents, and even a sneaky drone. Kimble’s name is inspired by Richard Kimble from The Fugitive – fitting for this resourceful, sly girl.
Kimble has impeccable manners: she’s reliably housebroken, crates without a fuss, and you’ll never have to worry about inappropriate chewing. She’s a joy on walks, mastering the leash, and her gentle nature shines through when taking treats or toys. Grooming is easy, as she’s perfectly fine with nail trims or use of the dremel. She’s also a social butterfly with other other dogs. New faces can make her a little hesitant, and she might try to retreat from new or uncomfortable situations, but she’s remarkably resilient. With gentle encouragement, she overcomes her shyness and responds well. She’s also a smart cookie, currently working on mastering stairs and making great strides!
Kimble would thrive under the guidance of a confident owner who encourages her to overcome her fears in novel situations. A self-assured canine companion would also be beneficial in providing her with support. She exhibits playful behavior and clicks her teeth together when seeking attention. Kimble generally coexists with cats, but a gradual introduction is recommended. Her interactions with felines may vary, ranging from ignoring them to initiating play. Kimble does require a physical fence to keep her safely contained in the backyard.
