Adoption Pending! Ella is 3 years old and all vetted, spayed, vaccinated and micro-chipped. Ella will require a master who has extensive knowledge of the Doberman breed and is a strong leader. Ella was initially purchased from a pet store as a pup by someone who had zero Doberman experience and knowledge. She grew up with children in the home and lived with another dog. Currently she is being fostered with 5 other dogs and does great with them. Un-socialized in her previous home, she is hesitant of new people, which we are working on while in her foster home. She will need a leader who is confident in this breed, to give her the confidence and trust in humans. Ella has learned the joy of human love while in foster care, loves to snuggle and get affection from her foster mom and dad. This poor girl had a rough beginning in life and needs a patient person to help her gain confidence in the world around her. She is super smart and loves to go for car and boat rides. She would love to find a home with a human willing to spend every day with her.
