Elliot here I am 4 years old! My mom and dad got divorced and could not keep me anymore. It was really hard and stressful for me. One day my life is happy and normal, I have my own bed and couch to cuddle on and the next I was taken away and put in a place that was not my home. It was scary. But I am out of the scary place. Going to clear my mind and start my healing. Humans are such funny confusing creatures. Love you one day, gone the next. Messes with you, ya know! I really loved my family a lot. Life happens I guess.  A new day and a new start right? I had lived with children, cats and dogs when I had a family. Yes you should know, I am a lover not a fighter. 100%! I really want to find my new family and start my new life! If you know of a family that needs a really good boy, tell them about me! Thanks, Love Elliot

Elliot has worked with our UDR obedience trainer, see video, and is a very  knowledgeable boy. He knows sit, down, stay, and he walks nicely on a leash. Elliot is very food motivated and loves to learn! He loves to play with other dogs but does not understand how big he is. He sure would like another canine to romp around with, one his own size!  Elliot is very happy given all hes been through, with people letting him down time and time again. He is available for adoption to home that understands the Doberman breed! Elliot is up to date on all vaccines,  neutered  and ready to find his forever home!
