Doberman Pinscher puppies and dogs in Monroe, Washington

Animal Profile: Copper is an estimated 3-year-old, 80 lb neutered male Doberman with natural ears and a docked tail. He was originally picked up as a stray in Georgia and joined us from via Project Freedom Ride. He was evaluated to be very friendly with dogs and people. Foster Update: Copper is young and full of energy, but it's easy to wear him out with some exercise. He loves to chase balls, although he is still working on returning and dropping them. Copper can be cautious around new people, but once he warms up to them (or they give him a treat), he is very affectionate. He is able to make friends with other dogs after slow and proper introductions. With a confident handler, Copper doesn't react much to other dogs when on leash. He likes to lead but does not pull on walks. Adopter Profile: Single family dwelling with a securely fenced yard. No cats or small animals.

Animal Profile: Meet Bingo – A Loyal, Loving, and Quirky Doberman Looking for His Perfect Match! Bingo is a handsome blue male Doberman with a big heart, a goofy personality, and a strong attachment to his people. He’s been through multiple homes but continues to be a resilient and affectionate dog who just needs the right environment to thrive, so please read his profile carefully. He has been with the rescue for over two years now, and after multiple failed adoptions we have taken the time to fully understand the kind of home Bingo needs. If you’re an experienced dog owner looking for a ride or die companion who will keep you on your toes, Bingo might be the one for you! Things To Love About Bingo &#226&#156&#148 Sweet & Affectionate – Loves to snuggle, lean into his humans, and never lets a free hand go to waste. &#226&#156&#148 Great with People – Friendly with adults and children (has spent the majority of his foster time with small children). &#226&#156&#148 Dog Social (With Management) – Loves playing with other dogs but does best as the only pet in the home. &#226&#156&#148 House Trained – Fully potty trained, non-destructive once settled, and walks well on a leash. &#226&#156&#148 Smart & Trainable – Quick learner, e- collar trained but will do just about anything for a treat, and he has great recall! &#226&#156&#148 Active but Not High-Energy – Enjoys a good play session or walk but equally enjoys couch life. &#226&#156&#148 Confident Watchdog – Protective of his home and people but is not aggressive. Bingo’s Needs & Challenges Best as an Only Pet – While he enjoys playing with dogs, he struggles with resource guarding at home (only with dogs). He has spent the last seven months living with two resident dogs with strict management but is happiest as the only pet. An experienced owner who understands dog body language is essential. Highly Food Motivated (and Opportunistic!) – Bingo is a world-class counter surfer and has no shame in stealing food if given the chance. He requires firm boundaries around food. Slow Transitions Required – Bingo has a history of separation anxiety when adjusting to a new home. While he can now be left alone for long periods without issues, his new family must allow him 3-4 weeks to adjust. Not Crate-Tolerant – Bingo has significant crate-related stress. While he can be crated in an Impact Crate with a bark collar for short periods, he does best in a home where crating isn’t necessary long- term. Protective Instincts – True to his breed, Bingo is wary of strangers near his home and will bark, making him an excellent deterrent. However, he warms up quickly with proper introductions. Not Suitable for Apartments – Due to his loud bark and need for space, he requires a home with no shared walls. No Small Animals – He has a strong prey drive and cannot live with cats, chickens, or small pets. Experienced Handler Preferred – Bingo benefits from an adopter who understands dog behavior, particularly around body language and resource management. He thrives with clear leadership and structure. Foster Home Insights Bingo has been with our family for 7 months now. He is a sweet, playful and sometimes naughty guy, who loves cuddling up on the couch, romping around the yard, and doing just about anything for a treat. Before coming to us, he had 4 failed adoptions, some not lasting more than 72 hours. Bingo struggled with severe separation anxiety in his previous homes, often leading to destructive behavior. However, here he has adjusted well. He is rarely crated and has shown no destruction when left alone. I work from home so we were able to work up to long absences gradually, and now he can be left for 8+ hours when needed. His adopter will need to be patient during his adjustment period to set him up for success. Bingo currently lives with two other dogs (one male, one female). While he loves playing with other dogs, resource guarding has been a challenge when sharing a living space. He is prone to quick, intense reactions around food and valued items, making management essential. While he has improved significantly, it continues to be a source of conflict between the dogs. This only applies to other dogs, and he has never displayed any concern or aggressive behavior towards people, big or small, near food or toys. However, there have been times when Bingo gets to be an only dog while my husband takes the others, and boy is life easier. It is such a joy to see him thrive - he loves toys and gets to play with them in the house, happily chews a bone while I’m working or away, gets lots of love, etc. and honestly I think this is the best path forward for him. He is fabulous on a leash 95% of the time but requires a confident handler or can get a bit unruly around things he wants to get to. He has improved exponentially in new places, I’ve taken him to jobsites, busy public places like Alki, and many pet friendly stores, he has been great. It can be a little overwhelming for him at time, and he needs good leadership, but I think with more positive experiences and exposure, he could become a really well balanced dog. The Bottom Line I adore Bingo. He is so deserving of finding his “person” and if I didn’t have the other two I would keep him in a heartbeat. He’s not high energy, a good romp in the yard or brief walk does him just fine. Athletic enough to enjoy an active lifestyle but settles in the house. Not destructive besides the occasional kids toy. Sweet and affectionate, loves to cuddle and has perfected the dobie lean. Never lets an empty hand go to waste and always nuzzles his face in for pets. Playful and silly. Great recall, no desire to run off just wants to be with his people. Protective, house trained, the list goes on. His challenges to me are really about the management with other dogs, and his extraordinary counter surfing skills. And while he’s not a fit for every household, for the right adopter, he will be an incredible companion. He truly is a good dog at heart, and anyone who has ever loved a Doberman knows how much they thrive with a family to call their own. I continue to hold onto hope that his perfect match is out there—someone who will see him for the incredible dog he is and give him the loving home he’s been patiently waiting for.

Animal Profile:  Banks was born in the rescue 11/05/22. He was adopted as a puppy, but started showing resource guarding behavior in the home; it was mainly directed at the senior male dog but he was also vocal about being bothered when he was asleep on the couch. Banks was very loved, but his family realized they could not provide the structure he needs to thrive. Banks regularly attended doggy daycare, and does well in a stable pack. True to the Doberman breed, Banks is family oriented, incredibly smart, affectionate and athletic.  Adopter Profile: Large breed dog experience required Doberman experience a plus No first time dog owners Securely fenced yard preferred Single family residence required (no apartments) Foster Update: Banks was fostered here as a puppy, and seemed to fall right back in line with our current pack (chihuahua mix, another male Doberman and a 50lb cattle dog mix). When he returned, we implemented good structure and routine, and focused efforts on his obedience. With a focus on a strong foundational relationship, Banks has shown zero resource guarding with food, chews or toys with his foster family. He will curl his lip in a dog approaches his bowl when eating, so he is only given his food and chews in his crate. Banks now heels well on leash, has good recall, knows basic obedience commands sit, down, crate and place command. Banks has also started e collar introduction for off leash freedom and recall. He is loyal, affectionate, loving, and incredibly intelligent. Banks will need an owner with large/working breed experience that could set healthy boundaries in the home otherwise he will test boundaries.  Adoption Info:  Adoption fee is $550, which includes spay/neuter required within 90 days, age appropriate vaccinations, deworming and microchip. All adoption fees are donations to a Washington non-profit corporation and all donations go to benefit the animals in our rescue.  Apply online at www.DogGoneSeattle.org/adoption-application Animal History:  This dog was born in the care of Dog Gone Seattle on 11/4/22 after mom was rescued heavily pregnant from Eastern Washington. This puppy will be available for adoption in Seattle at 8 weeks of age.

Animal Profile: Pippin stole our hearts from the start. He was reported to our rescue partners in Del Rio, TX when he was spotted with a face full of porcupine quills. He was friendly, but wasn't quite trusting enough to be caught. Lucky for Pip, Animal Control was able to scoop him up and get him to our friends at Animal Advocacy and Rescue Coalition. Pippin was treated for his injuries, and went from a shy and shutdown dog to a bouncy, happy boy in no time flat. Pippin loves other dogs, is gentle with baby puppies, and has had exposure to cats. He is estimated to be about a 1 year old and weighs 32lbs. He is so ready to find his home here in the PNW, and we can't wait to be a part of his happily ever after. Pippin does need a canine companion in his forever home as he looks towards that companionship for guidance and reassurance. He’d do best in a single family dwelling outside of the city as he does have a fear of cars. https://www.facebook.com/reel/936399421594284 https://www.facebook.com/share/r/fZpUjYRg3yRkMukx/ Foster Update: Don’t let his doberman features fool you—Pippin is a pint-size pup who is full grown at just under 30 lbs. He is a happy little guy who hops and pounces around outside when he plays fetch, and entertains himself with his favorite ropes and chew toys inside. He is full of personality—curious, playful, and always ready for a good walk or hike, but also extremely cuddly, snuggly, low-key and loving. He loves both canine and human companionship and has been found snoozing and snoring on top of his foster brother multiple times. He’s a smart dog who has picked up house-breaking, crate-training, and general domestic manners as if he’s never known otherwise. Pippin would make a fantastic addition to any family looking to add another playful companion to their pack.
