Hold onto your socks (and hide them, seriously) — because here comes Sonnet, a 4-week-old female Doberman prodigy in black and rust, with the kind of cuteness that should be illegal in all 50 states. She’s got legs too big for her body, ears that don’t know what they’re doing yet, and a brain that’s already plotting how to unlock the treat jar from across the room.
This isn’t just any puppy. This is a canine Einstein in the making. Sonnet is sharp, observant, and already trying to solve quantum physics while you’re struggling to find your coffee. She’s part snugglebug, part velociraptor, and all-in on being the overachiever of your household.
Potty training? Oh, you’ll be doing it. A lot. Frequently. Possibly at 3 a.m. while saying things like “HOW can something so small pee THIS much?” But hey, at least Sonnet will be watching your form, grading you silently, and probably giving you a B+ for effort.
Like her sister Rhyme, Sonnet is a Doberman Pinscher, AKA a working dog, AKA a fitness model with ADHD who requires a job, structure, enrichment, and maybe a small business to run on the side. If you’re looking for a couch potato… keep scrolling. This girl wants tasks, training, adventure, and 401(k) matching.
Requirements to be Sonnet’s forever person:
Fenced yard – Not “I’ll walk her when I get home” energy. Think secure perimeter to contain the future Olympic sprinter.
Stable home – If your idea of “structure” is a half-inflated air mattress and a dream, we love that for you… but not for Sonnet.
Commitment – This isn't a fling. You're signing up for a 10-15 year relationship with the smartest goofball you’ll ever meet.
Willingness to crate train, attend obedience classes, and socialize at daycare, playdates, or puppy book club.
Desire to engage in fun activities like:
Puzzle toys (which she’ll solve in under 30 seconds)
Agility courses (where you will trip, and she will fly)
Hiking, running, biking, or literally any job you invent for her
Learning ridiculous tricks just for TikTok glory
Sonnet is here to make your life fuller, funnier, and possibly more complicated in the best way. She’s sweet, spicy, and smarter than your last three exes combined. If you're ready for a life of love, laughter, and licking (mostly your face), apply to adopt Sonnet today. Available end of June!
