9/17/24 (Leo). Here's what I want you to know about me:
I'm a smarty pants! I'm smart and I LOVE to learn new things! I'm eager to please and quick to pick up new skills. One of my latest accomplishments is learning to walk nicely on a leash! I used to pull a lot (okay, I still get excited sometimes), but I've learned that walking together is way more fun. Now, I know to pace myself and enjoy the journey with my human.
I'm a goofball! Yeah, I can get a little silly sometimes, but it's not because I'm stubborn - it's just because I get SO EXCITED to learn new things! I can't help myself, and my enthusiasm takes over. I might get a bit goofy, but with a little guidance and patience, I can focus and learn like a pro!
I'm a playful dude! I LOVE toys, water, and playtime! If you're looking for a buddy to join you on adventures or just hang out in the backyard, I'm your guy! Long walks? I'm all in! And if you throw a ball, I'll chase it anywhere, anytime! Little secret: a morning play session helps me get my day started on the right paw. It's hard being young with so much energy and so many things to do, but a little playtime helps me focus and feel more calm and centered.
I'm a family man! I'll love my family to the moon and back, especially if they give me treats and belly rubs! I'll be loyal and protective, like most Dobies, and I'll snuggle up tight when I feel safe and loved in my new home. I do need to feel safe, though - I had a bit of a rough start in life, and sometimes I get a little nervous because I'm not sure what's happening next. But with patience, love, and gentle guidance, I'll feel right at home in no time!
I'm looking for a family that's a great match for me! I love to stay active and have fun, but I also enjoy chill days with a little playtime. I'm happy with a balance of adventure and relaxation. Plus, I'm super into training - I know it's good for me, and I love learning new things every day! Whether we're going on a long walk or just practicing my skills in the backyard, I'm all in!
8/9/24. Meet LEO. This adorable 1.5 year old dober boy is in search of his forever family . This playful boy loves playing with all the volunteers at the rescue, lounging in the pool and going for long walks. Leo likes other dogs, but in his home would be best as only dog. Like the good Dobie he is, Leo forms strong attachments to his family and can be wary of new people coming in his home and would be best suited with knowledgeable Dobie owner. He will need some training but is very smart and eager to please so no doubt will flourish with gentle guidance. He will make a loving and loyal companion to the right family. No cats for Leo
5/9/24. Gorgeous one year old Leo is looking for his forever home. Leo loves to play with all the volunteers at the rescue, loves to play in the water and likes going for long walks. He is super sweet and affectionate. He enjoys playing with other dogs but would prefer to be the only dog in his home. No cats for Leo. He likes children but since he can sometimes be wary of new people coming in his home he would be best suited for adult only home. He will make a loving loyal companion to the right family.
4/27/24. Meet Leo! This adorable 1 year old Dobie boy is looking for his furever family. Leo is a volunteer favorite at the rescue as he loves playing with everyone and is super sweet. He gets along great with other dogs outside but in his home he prefers to be the only dog. He is not a big fan of cats. Leo can sometimes be wary of meeting new people so needs an experienced doberman owner who understands the breed and their quirks and can help him overcome this. He is incredibly smart, eager to please and very loving. He will make a great addition to the right family.

Not every dog is available for adoption or need a foster - some are wards of the rescue (usually due to medical reasons, but sometimes behavioral). These dogs will always be supported by DRL. We welcome financial support for these dogs. Here are links to foster and adoption applications for those dogs who need a foster home or adoptive home.
