Here's what you need to know about me:

I'm an active dog! I would love to go home with a family who can help me burn off energy with exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures.

I can be shy in new spaces. I need a family who will let me take things at my own pace as I learn about new things. Once I come out of my shell, I have lots of love to give.

I can be nervous around new people. It just takes me a little while to get comfortable. But once I get to know you, I'm very loving.

It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

CINCO  #314154 listed as American Shelter Dog male,  3 yrs 6 mths 95 lbs
 
*no cats (will chase unless cat is dog savvy) 
 
  Hey there, I'm Cinco, a handsome and sizable dog tipping the scales at almost 95 pounds! I'm hoping to find a wonderful family who can help me navigate this next chapter of my life. I'm a strong and sturdy fella, and I'll admit I could use a little assistance with my leash manners. 
 
With some patience and positive guidance, I'm confident I can learn to walk like a pro by your side! While I may be a tad wary of new people and situations at first, I'm eager to build trust and form lasting bonds with a loving family. Given the chance, I'll show you just how loyal and devoted I can be.
 
 The shelter recommends no cats in my new home unless they are confident around dogs, as I prefer to chase them. And due to my large size and exuberance, children in my new home should be 8-years and up. 
 
If you're searching for a big-hearted companion to join your family, look no further! Let's meet and see if we're a perfect match. I'm ready to embark on new adventures and create unforgettable memories with you. Let's make it happen!

 Petfinder listing for Nibbs 
Housetrained. Good in home with cats 
Nibbs' adoption fee is $250. He is neutered and will be fully vaccinated before adoption. For questions on Nibbs, please contact ccacadoptions@gmail.com.  
 Meet Nibbs, our big Doberman baby! Nibbs is about 3 years old, and he has the biggest heart and personality! When Nibbs first came to us, he had endured a very hard life and weighed only 50lbs. With time, love, and good care, he's now a healthy, handsome 80 lbs boy! He is finally ready to find his forever home.
 
 
Nibbs is dog and cat friendly, though we think he'd do best as the only dog in the home - he's earned the right not to share his food or his people after everything he's been through. That said, he's a social butterfly who would thrive with dog park trips and play dates! 
 
 
 
Like any true Doberman, Nibbs is intelligent, energetic, and full of personality. He'll definitely keep you laughing - especially when he throws his little Doberman temper tantrums if you don't play tug-of-war with him a few times a day. (Yes, he insists!) 
 
 
 
Nibbs needs a home with someone who truly understands the Doberman breed- there quirks, their devotion, and their need to be both physically and mentally engaged. In return, he'll be your most loyal friend, your shadow, and your partner in everything you do. 
 


Nibbs' adoption fee is $250. He is neutered and will be fully vaccinated before adoption. For questions on Nibbs, please contact ccacadoptions@gmail.com.

What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • I should be pursuing a modeling career, but instead I'm just looking for a nice family to call my own.

  • Resource Guarding: I have a history of guarding my food and toys from other animals.
  • Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I am sensitive to handling, including but not limited to medical/grooming and restraint. I prefer to take things at my own pace and I will need someone who can help offer guidance in these situations and offer a bit more patience!
  • High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I may prefer to be the only pet in the home.
  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
