Incoming: Hurricane Dougie the Doberman-A full on Dobe-teenager!

AKA: Your new 10-month-old hot mess express

Meet Dougie, a 10-month-old black Doberman with the energy of a toddler on espresso and the attention span of a squirrel at a disco. He’s got legs for days, zero impulse control, and enough curiosity to open Pandora’s box — twice.

We’re honestly not sure if he ever learned any manners or if he just laughed and forgot them. Either way, this boy is a teenage Doberman tornado in need of a foster (or foster-to-adopt) hero to help channel all that chaos into greatness.

✨ What Dougie does have:

• Zoomies that register on the Richter scale

• A heart as big as his ears

• A serious love for other dogs (bonus points if they like to wrestle!)

• A brain that’s way too smart to be bored

What he needs:

• A human with a sense of humor, sturdy shoes, and a love for mischief

• Some basic training (okay, a lot of it)

• Playtime, structure, snacks, naps, repeat

• Did we mention snacks?

This is a boy for the true Doberman fanatic — the ones who know this breed inside and out and wouldn’t have it any other way. If you like your dogs spicy, sporty, and slightly unhinged, Dougie is your guy.

Dougie needs a foster or foster-to-adopt home, STAT!
He’s currently bouncing off the walls (and fences), and boarding just isn’t the place for this high-energy goofball.

As always, United Doberman Rescue covers vet care and supplies — you just provide the patience, playtime, and peanut butter.

And remember- adventures with Dougie are guaranteed — sanity is optional.
