Doberman Pinscher Dogs Available for Adoption in Parrish, Florida

REMI

Doberman Pinscher
🇺🇸
Parrish, Florida
April 18th
male, large, young

DESCRIPTION

Remi is new to our rescue and will be going into foster care where we will learn more about him. This is what we have from the shelter:

Hey! The Dobe is a 14mo, neutered male named Remi who was surrendered following a minor bite in a new home after he mounted another dog, the new pet owner tried to pull him off by the collar and received one bite to the hand that was a Dunbar Level 3/punctured skin but less than depth of canine. They had had the dog for two days at this point. I reached out to prior owners for history and it turned out it had been the second time in a week he'd been rehomed, and the previous time was also due to a bite over a collar grab (did not break skin). I was able to get in contact with the original owner/breeder who rehomed him to that previous party less than a week prior and she provided some additional information; he's lived with other dogs successfully, he's potty trained, he likes to suckle his bed when he's stressed and will occasionally growl at people for approaching it while he's doing it but will let you take the bed, as she would habitually remove items that he was suckling on. Remi is from an accidental litter and while we've been back and forth for some time on the breeder reclaiming if no one will take him she's not in state and I haven't been able to get a timeline out of her even if we provide partial transport. At this point it's been a month, he's pretty stressed to be here, and she is going to have to rehome as soon as she gets him back anyway so if there's another avenue I'd love to explore it. I personally don't have issues handling him and think he'd be a fun project from someone comfortable with the behavior on record, but he's a little too complicated to be appropriate to adopt out directly from the shelter and doesn't meet criteria for any of the Dobe-specific rescues in the state due to the bite hx. He does have some collar sensitivities here and has lightly mouthed my hand for a collar grab but is A-OK for general point A to B on a slip lead or martingale, is rough/rowdy social in shelter playgroups (loves to talk) and while he'll alarm bark at the kennel front has been fine meeting people once he's out; sometimes a little withdrawn. Overall he's a young guy who's had a very confusing month and doesn't have a lot of life skills or experiences to go off of; he cares a lot about what you think and is very responsive to direction. No medical concerns, UTD.
