"REIGN" AVAILABLE for ADOPTION with "AGAVE RESCUE"
www.agavedogs.org
Adores both men and women. She even climbs into her foster dad's lap for cuddles and falls asleep. Total Velcro dog with the typical Doberman lean into you. She can be reserved with strangers and may bark a few times intially. This is pretty typical Doberman behavior. She warms up quickly with treats. Be a human treat dispenser and within about 5 minutes Reign becomes friendly with new people.
- Dog selective
and needs slow introductions. Does best with calmer dogs who also enjoy
playing. She is fostered with a female Shepherd mix and her foster
family did slow introductions the first few days and now both dogs are
good friends, playing and even sleeping cuddled up together. If you have
a dog social dog and are willing to invest the time into a gradual
introduction, Reign can live with another dog in harmony.
- No cats. She does seem to have a prey drive.
- Great mix of energy when you want it and the ability to relax and settle into the home when you want to have a more chill day.
-
Huge food drive. This may be in part to Reign's starvation state but
she is very food motivated and a fast eater. A slow feeder bowl really
helps her to slow down at meal times. She does need boundaries around
food with people and other dogs as she tries to gobble what food she can
get. Her foster family feeds her in her crate during their meal times
so that she enjoys her own food while they are eating theirs. Her food
drive makes her super fun to train though! She loves learning and is
very motivated to work for you with treats.
- Good with gentle
kids and fostered with kids ages 7+ years old. We are recommending kids
ages 7+ if there are kids in the home. 
- Very much loves soft beds, blankies and a cozy indoor life. She will appreciate sweaters and jackets to keep her warm during cold Oregon months. Dobermans have thin coats and don't generally appreciate the rain.
- Sleeps in her
crate at night and does well with that. It can take her a couple minutes
to settle but she then sleeps through the night.
- Perfect potty habits in foster so far
-
Good on leash but does seem interested in chasing cars that pass. Her
foster family is working on this tendency since they live in a high
traffic area. Reign wears a prong collar and that has helped immensely
with her pulling. She can be a strong puller, but the prong collar has
been a game changer for her to walk easy on leash.
Reign is
spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, heartworm tested negative,
and current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee includes
a free wellness exam at one of our partner veterinary clinics in Oregon
City, Milwaukie, Portland or Tualatin. $150 adoption fee
