Adoption Pending! Dillinger is a 2 year old male Doberman whose owner went off to college and could no longer care for him. This impressive guy knows how to sit, down, shake and speak. Dillinger has one of the longest successfully standing, show crops on a rescue dog ever seen. He rides wonderfully in a car. Dillinger is very large and very strong. He grew up on a horse farm with other animals and we are and when introduced to cats with us he was not reactive, just very curious. Dillinger loves human companionship and has been introduced successfully to a few canines with us, yes he is fickle but with the correct introduction he is accepting of other canines. He did live with a male German Shepard on the farm we are told. Dillinger will need an owner with Doberman experience and a fenced yard. This boy is exceptionally smart and loves his people. Dillinger was recently neutered and fully vetted and is now ready to find a forever home!!! Please apply if you are interested in adopting this handsome young Doberman.
