DeMarcus is searching for a family who understands that behind all of his goofy chaos is just a giant baby wanting to love and be loved. At just 1 year old and around 60lbs, this handsome Doberman is everything you’d expect from a young Doberman… intelligent, energetic, clingy, dramatic, and always involved in whatever you’re doing. Dobermans are known for being extremely people-oriented, high-energy dogs that thrive on activity, structure, and companionship. DeMarcus is VERY dog friendly and absolutely thrives with another playful large dog in the home. He loves to wrestle, run, play chase, and can sometimes push buttons because he gets so excited, so he needs a tolerant dog companion who enjoys roughhousing but can also appropriately correct him when needed. He is friendly with dogs, cats, and kids — but due to his size, energy, and complete lack of body awareness, no tiny children please because he absolutely will bulldoze them by accident. He is still very much a puppy and acts like one. He gets excited easily, can be hyper indoors initially, still chews if not properly redirected, and will cry in his kennel because he wants to be near his people constantly. He is the definition of a Velcro dog — your shadow in dog form. If you want personal space… DeMarcus disagrees.
Ideal Home
DeMarcus needs a home with a fenced yard, another large playful dog, and an active adopter. He would do best with a homeowner and requires breed experience. He thrives on activity and companionship and would love an adventurous family who enjoys walks, outings, training, playing outside, and then crashing on the couch together afterward. He is not a dog who wants to be left alone all day with nothing to do — he wants to LIVE life with his people.
Ongoing Health
