Balboa will make a great first time Doberman as he is truly an easy keeper, so gentle and kind. Balboa is about 1-2 years old, who is very friendly with everyone he meets. He walks well on a leash, takes treats ever so gently, is calm, affectionate and tries very hard to do his best. He bathes like a champ and does no grumbling what so ever about nails getting trimmed, or his ears cleaned. Balboa has zero prey drive, has no interest in other critters, such as chickens or geese, is easily directed and may do well in a home with cats. Balboa likes to play ball and will fetch. He would enjoy a home that would take him for daily walks, go to the dog park to play with friends, and cuddle on the couch during the movie, Lassie. Balboa would be the full Doberman package, a gentleman, a loyal friend, smart, an easy keeper and obedient to his loving master. If you are prepared to absorb the love this boy will give, please apply to adopt Balboa. He is fully vaccinated, heart worm negative, neutered, micro-chipped and ready to be adopted!
