REIGN spayed female, aprx3yrs 50 lbs ( 55 lb ideal wt) Doberman  Good in home with dogs, kids...no cats  adoption $150

Fostered in SE Portland, Oregon 

 

Reign is a stunning blue female Doberman who we rescued out of a California shelter after she had been there over a month. Reign was very neglected and underweight. We are working on showing her the good life in foster and helping her gain weight!

 

 55 pounds but needs to gain another 5 pounds Approximately 3 years old (this is an estimate by our vet)

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
