Meet Dash — the happiest 10-month-old purebred, docked, cropped, nub-wagging Doberman you’ll ever meet! This goofy, lovable pup has had a bit of a bumpy start, but he hasn’t let that dampen his spirit one bit. Dash’s original owner sadly passed away, and while a family member kindly stepped in to care for him, they ultimately made the tough decision to surrender him to the shelter. Now, Dash is looking for a fresh start with a forever family who will love him endlessly.

dash grew up in a busy household with kids ranging from a baby to pre-teens and had full run of the house — no crate needed! He’s playful, social, and ready to be your shadow. While he previously lived with young children, Dash would do best in a home with older teen kids who understand how to respect a dog’s space and needs — he’s a sweet boy, not a stuffed animal and he does not like kids hanging on him, no dog does!

Being a young Doberman, Dash has energy to burn and love to give. His ideal family is active, outdoorsy, and ready to commit to training and keeping his smart mind and busy body engaged. A securely fenced yard is a must for all those joyful zoomies and explorations. He’s food-motivated, eager to please, and a great candidate for obedience training or fun doggy activities, like agility, barn hunts or playing ball.

Like many dogs adjusting to shelter life, Dash did get a little stressed in a kennel environment — when he’s anxious, at the kennel he was known to shred a blanket or two, but we do see this often in shelter dogs-that life gets to them in the head! But with the right structure, exercise, and a calm home environment, energy burn-this is something that can absolutely be managed.

Dash is neutered, heartworm negative, and fully vaccinated — healthy, happy, and ready to go! His adoption fee is $500 plus tax, and comes with unlimited tail wags, snuggles, and loyal companionship. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, high-energy best friend with a heart as big as his paws, Dash just might be your perfect match.
