Doberman Pinscher Dogs Available for Adoption in Bothell, Washington

Animal Information:

Meet Viola! She and her 3 sisters are 9 week old Dobie mix puppies who

will be joining us fron California on Sunday 04/05/2026.

Foster Profile:
Viola is an amazing puppy with a big personality. It goes without saying that she is adorable, with the cutest little nub of a tail, eyes that stare into your soul, and some of the most gorgeous and unusual markings on her paws - tan socks with black marks running the length of each of her toes, almost like painted nails. She is a total sweetheart wants nothing more than to be wherever her people are. She is a big fan of other dogs, including her fosters' 100+lb mammoth who she climbs all over without hesitation, and would do well with a confident dog that doesn't mind her puppy energy. She is playful and a bit mischievous, and has decided that rocks are the most desirable finds in the world. After all, why else would the humans always be trying to steal them from her? But she is very responsive to direction and already demonstrates great bite inhibition for a puppy her age. Despite those razor sharp little puppy teeth, she is quite gentle when playing, taking treats, or having the aforementioned rocks removed from her mouth. She would be happy to play chase, tug of war, or fetch, or even just climb up into your lap to sit in the sun. And boy is she a talker! I never thought of that as a Dobie trait, but anytime you hang out near her, she lets out the cutest little huffy grumbles to make sure you know her opinion is known. But smarties tend to have a lot to say, and she is unusually bright. In the three days we've had her, she seems to have gotten the hang of potty training; she alerts when she needs to go out, does her business right away, and then plops down proudly for treats and praise. She has not had an accident indoors since her first night with her foster and is clearly eager to please. When she wants attention, she will often take a seat primly in front of you and stare up for direction. At this point, she has pretty much mastered the "sit" command, and she is so attuned to people that we think she will be a dream to train. This little wiggle butt is going to be big - she sports massive paws and sometimes even trips over them, but she's too rough and tumble to let it phase her. She is full of personality, love, and sass, and I suspect everyone who meets her is going to want to take her home. We are looking for a single family hone with a securely fenced yard for Viola. We are not considering apartments for her at this time.
