Story
Tina is a 2-year-old black and tan female Doberman. Her tail is docked and her ears are cropped, however they don’t stand up. Tina is a happy, playful, and energetic girl who is crate and house-trained. She sleeps in a crate at night without issues. She tends to bark when in the crate during the day, so we have started giving her run of the house during the day while we are not home. We have cameras to keep an eye on her and so far she has been a very good girl and usually just sleeps on one of her dog beds.
Tina rides well in the car and will either lay down or look out the windows. Tina is looking for an active home with people who are committed to doing training, activities, and brain games with her daily. She can be shy when meeting new people, but for folks who are patient, she quickly warms into a velcro Doberman who will follow you all over the house.
Tina LOVES to play fetch! Balls are life! She is very good at bringing the ball back so that you can throw it again. Check out a video of Tina playing fetch:

Tina also likes to chase anything that moves - squirrels, rabbits, birds, bicyclists, and runners. Because of this, Tina will not be placed in a home with cats, small mammals, or birds.
Tina is smart and treat-motivated. She would do well with someone willing to train her and help her work through some of her fears, but that will take time. Tina would do best in a suburban or rural home with less pedestrian and
canine traffic. She takes some time to warm up to other dogs. Tina gets very excited when she sees other dogs while she is on a leash. For now, Tina needs a fenced yard so that you can keep neighborhood walks to a minimum, and during quiet times only. She could be a single dog or go to a home with a calm, but playful pup partner, but would need a slow introduction to any other dogs in the home. Tina had happily coexisted with a 50-pound senior female dog in a previous foster home. Tina is currently being fostered in Virginia.
