Story
Hunter is a stunning male Doberman that was saved from a very neglectful situation in California by Animal Control. When he was found, he had been starved down to 38 pounds and has gained 30 pounds in foster. He's filled out nicely to 68 pounds currently.
Hunter is a typical, Velcro Doberman who loves people and almost instantly does the Doberman lean in to show you affection. Natural ears and docked tail.
- Approximately 3-4 years old
- Could be wonderful as a solo dog. Excellent with female dogs and would love a playful girl dog companion in his future home! Hunter is a very animated and playful dog so if there is another dog in the home, it would be best if they were into that. He has been fostered with both male and female large breed dogs and has not shown any aggression, however he can be pushy with wanting to play and the dogs he is fostered with have not been into wanting to play with him.
- Seeking an adult only home. Hunter is sensitive to kids and nipped a child previously (he did not break skin) and therefore his best placement would be in an adult only home. Hunter does not go out of his way to get to children, he just is uncomfortable living in a home with them.
- No cats. He does want to chase them.
- Crate trained and will go in on his own to nap. Doesn't mind sleeping in his crate at night. Does not break out of the crate. No separation anxiety observed.
- Couch cuddler and pretty reasonable, medium energy in the house.
- Uses a front clip, no pull harness for walks as he does pull some. He has not exhibited leash reactivity and he really enjoys his walks to explore the neighborhood.
- Confident, adventurous dog who would love to go all the places with you!
- Bonds equally with men and women and is social to both genders
- Loves his toys and chews
- Happily loads into a vehicle, lies down and is calm for car rides. No car sickness.
- Smart and eager to train with you. Knows sit and shake currently. He will also wait during meal times for you to set his bowl down and release him to eat.
- Could live in a condo or apartment if breed is allowed and owner is active and exercises him regularly. Currently is fostered in a condo in an urban area without a fenced yard and does well.
- A quirk is that he's not comfortable doing indoor staircases. He will do stairs to get into a home. But once inside, he doesn't go up to the second floor. This could likely be trained but would take some work.
Hunter is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, heartworm tested negative, fecal tested negative, and current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. His adoption fee includes a free wellness exam at one of our partner vet clinics in Oregon City, Portland, Milwaukie or Tualatin.
