My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dawkins is a stunning one-year-old blue Doberman with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He’s playful, goofy, and full of life, always ready for a game of fetch, zooming around the yard, or proudly carrying his favorite toy. But behind his fun-loving nature is a dog who desperately needs stability. Dawkins has spent too much of his young life without structure, and he needs a committed home with someone who understands him and can help him thrive.

Dawkins is a high-energy dog who struggles with impulse control and needs a structured environment with routine and consistency. He is not a dog that can be given too much freedom too soon and will do best with an experienced Doberman or working-breed owner who understands how to help him succeed. He would do best in a home without young children and needs someone who can read his cues and provide clear guidance. He has enjoyed playing with some dogs, but he does best with careful introductions and would not be a good fit for a home with another dominant male. His adopter must also be willing to continue his training and keep him on his current medication regimen while he continues to progress.

Dawkins is affectionate, eager to learn, and full of potential. He deserves a home where he can be set up for success and given the consistency he has never had. There is a good home out there for Dawkins—we just need to find it. If you have the experience, patience, and commitment to give Dawkins the life he deserves, please reach out.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

All dogs are in foster homes in various parts of central and eastern PA as well as central NJ. We do adopt dogs out of state as long as the potential adopter is willing to drive to where the dog is being fostered for a meet and greet and to take the dog home. We do not ship dogs and we do not have a central location.

More about this rescue

DPR of PA, Inc. was founded in 1986 by Pam Taylor and incorporated under its present name in 1989. The organization consists of a network of foster homes around Harrisburg, Reading, and York, PA, as well as central NJ. Foster homes are always needed. If you can foster, please complete our application at https://www.dprpa.org/adopt-foster.

All Dobes that come into our rescue receive a full physical and behavioral exam and temperament evaluation which helps match them with the appropriate family. In addition, all dogs are spayed or neutered and current on vaccinations. We also serve as a resource to educate and assist Dober owners and are here to offer knowledgeable advice and answer questions if needed about your Dobe.
