Hand Me Down Dobes, Proper Food and Weight

Available Dobermans from Hand Me Down Dobes

Danzel

Meet Danzel!

Danzel is a tall 3-year-old black and rust doberboy with natural ears and an athletic build. His foster mom describes him as a good dog with adolescent energy and an enthusiastic, easily excited nature, so he will do best in a home that provides him with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. He has good manners in the home although temptation in the kitchen can lead to food magically disappearing from counters. He is crate trained and willingly goes in when a bit of cheese is tossed inside. Danzel is a smart boy who is highly food motivated so he will be a pro in training classes! At night he sleeps nicely on his dog bed on the floor next to his foster parents. He’s a blanket fluffer and enjoys a bed with rolled sides or pillows so he can snuggle in.

Danzel is a sweet and cuddly momma’s boy who can be a bit hesitant around some men. He will be your loyal lapdog and constant shadow as he craves attention, closeness, and wants to be a part of everything that goes on in the house. He is not a confident boy and at times has some nervous energy, so new owners will need to help him understand what is expected of him. He gets along nicely with the female Dobe in his foster home but she does not always appreciate his redirection of excitement, so he will do best with a comparably sized female canine companion that will tolerate his youthful energy. No small dogs or cats, please. He loves to spend time outside and will need a safe yard to romp around and chase critters. He can get overly excited and mouthy in the yard so no children with this goofball. Danzel is not a starter dog and will do best with owners who provide him with calm, clear, firmly consistent expectations. Interested in Danzel? Fill out your online application at hmdd.org today!

Stryder

Meet Stryder, a 1 year old black and rust male with cropped ears, athletic build, and impressive intelligence. 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. 

A physical fence is necessary due to his age and energy level. He’s crate trained and enjoys walks and walks well using a gentle leader. Patience, guidance, reassurance, and treats help to ease car anxiety. 

Possibly compatible with a tolerant, comparable-sized companion, he is unsuitable for cats. Regular exercise, mental challenges, and chew bones are essential. Stryder is not a starter dog. He will thrive in a Doberman or working breed experienced, highly structured, adults-only home that provides him with ample opportunities to use his intelligence as well as his need to burn energy.

Maisey

Maisey is a beautiful 8-month-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.

Coal

Meet Coal

Coal is a captivating all-natural melanistic 16-week-old puppy. He exhibits an easy-going temperament with typical energy for his age. Coal possesses a sensitive side and is very eager to please. He is friendly with everyone he meets. Although he coexists well with the older tolerant male and female Dobermans in the home, he’s shown a more dominant side with his playmates. He would do well as an only dog, if his needs can be met or with a female playmate who would be tolerant of his puppy antics. 

As with all of our puppies, Coal will need a fenced yard, where he can run and play. Providing him with calm, firm, consistent guidance as they mature so he can develop into confident, well-adjusted adult. Coal is crate-trained, but due to his young age, he cannot be left in the crate for extended periods of time.

Hinto

Meet Hinto, a 4-year-old male with natural ears and a docked tail. He is a blue, the color of calm and cool, which accurately describes his demeanor. Hinto is remarkably well-mannered, walks exceptionally well on a leash while wearing a martingale collar, and has mastered several commands. Initially shy around new people, he thrives on affection, head rubs, and butt scratches. He will alert his people to approaching dogs or individuals by barking, but can be easily redirected with a verbal command to cease. Hinto has a strong desire to be in close proximity to his people and becomes excited upon their return home. He sleeps soundly in his crate and frequently retreats to it throughout the day to rest on his blanket or chew on a bone. Hinto interacts exceptionally well with dogs of all sizes and is equally comfortable around children. He displays a keen interest in playing fetch and consistently returns the toy. However, he does not demonstrate affection for stuffed toys or dog beds and it is recommended that they be kept far away from him.

Hinto doesn’t seem to have a strong prey drive – he’s like ‘meh, squirrels’ when they’re frolicking in the front yard. On the other hand, he’s super curious about the resident parakeet and initially liked to give the cage a little nuzzle. Nowadays, he’s easily redirected and just has staring contests with the bird. He may do okay with a dog-savvy cat.
