Story
🐾 Hello! I’m Klaus, Your “Solid” Fur-reind! 🐾
I’m a tall, dark, and handsome Doberman Pinscher mix—word around the shelter is that I look like the canine version of a movie star. 😊 At 3 years old and 74 lbs. of pure muscle, I’m a walking, stubby tail-wagging hunk of paw-someness.
The first things you’ll notice about me are my sleek and shiny coat, those ridiculously floppy ears, my handsome Dobie face, and this strong, athletic body. HELLLLO, ladies! 😉 I might play it cool when we first meet, but if you’ve got a tennis ball or treat in hand, I’ll come sprinting to you. Stick around long enough, and I’ll be leaning on you and enjoying back rubs and ear scratches.
My hobbies include running laps around the yard and flaunting my strong, long legs, going on sniffari walkies, chasing after tennis balls, and checking the play yard perimeter…. Detective Klaus at your service, ladies and gentlemen! Oh, and did I mention I LOVE Sniffaris?
Being the suave ladies' man that I am, I seem to prefer the company of the female doggos. I love running the fence and playing with them while they are in the adjacent yards. What can I say? I’m too paw-some for them to resist! 😉
There’s a lot more to me than just my good looks, you know? I’m already a pro at ‘Sit’ —and if you’re holding a treat or a tennis ball, I’ll sit without even being asked. Pretty impressive, huh? 🏅I’m also working on my 'Down' and 'Stay.’ My volunteer pals say I’m quite the gentleman when they are taking me in and out of my kennel. Another bonus is that I take treats from your hand very gently.
When leash-walking, I’ll pull when I get excited to read and respond to pee-mails. But all l need is that ONE special person or family who will love me enough to patiently teach me some manners.
Given my size, strength, and boundless energy, I can be a bit overwhelming for small kids. I wouldn’t want to unintentionally knock them over in my excitement, so an adult-only home would be the best fit for me. 👍
I’d love to go to a breed-savvy family or someone who has experience handling large dogs. I’m already neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, and am ready to come home with you! I hope to see you soon! 😊
