hi! i’m kickstand! nice to meet you. I am a 3-4 month old doberman puppy who was born with a wonky front leg-my chicken wing leg. Doesn’t bother me and everyone thinks it’s adorable. i am a typical big puppy who will grow up big and strong so my future human should be a leader who will provide me with the necessary structure and routine to grow into a mature lady. I am being exposed to dogs and cats at my foster home and everyone is so fun. wanna be best friends? please note All of our dogs are in private foster homes. Once you fill out an application it will be screened by our volunteer adoption team. From there, if your application looks like a good fit for the particular dog, it will be sent to the foster where you can ask all the questions you would like and schedule a meet and greet. We do not transport our dogs. If you apply from out of state we do request you come to Los Angeles to meet us and fly home in cabin or drive. www.apurposefulrescue.org
🧠 Temperament
Intelligent, intensely loyal and strongly bonded to their person — Dobermans are often described as velcro dogs. They are naturally alert and watchful, which needs to be channeled through early socialization rather than suppressed.
🎾 Exercise
High — 60-90 minutes daily plus training. A bored Doberman is an anxious Doberman.
✂️ Grooming
Very easy. Short coat, weekly wipe-down, minimal shedding. They feel the cold and often need a coat in a NYC winter.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
Their size and reputation trigger breed restrictions in many buildings — check your lease before falling in love. Otherwise they are clean, quiet indoors and settle well.
