Nacho! We hope you get home for the holidays! Please share this lovely boy and maybe his forever family will find him. 💙

Nacho is a 1-year-old blue Doberman who’s equal parts handsome and hilarious — from his silly, expressive ears to his lanky legs that still seem to have a mind of their own. He is still filling out, but he’s already packed with personality.

Nacho is your classic Doberman pup: full of energy, curiosity, and goofiness. He loves people almost as much as he loves food and gets along great with other dogs. He’s housebroken, happily trots into his run at bedtime, and sleeps through the night like a pro.

Still very much a puppy, Nacho is in his teenage phase, so he’ll need continued training, structure, and plenty of toys to keep him busy. In return, you’ll get endless affection, loyalty, and laughs.

If you’re ready for a fun, loving, slightly clumsy companion who’s growing into an amazing dog, Nacho might just be your guy!

Did you know dogs are considered “senior” around age 7 and cats are considered "senior" around age 10? November is National Senior Pet Month, a great reminder to schedule wellness exams, monitor for subtle changes, and keep them comfy as they age. Early detection and extra TLC go a long way.💙

Nacho!? Why are you still here with no family applying for you?!

This guy is the full package. He loves playing with his Doberman buddies, has the swagger of a dog who knows he’s handsome, and honestly - those ears could probably pick up free cable and Wi-Fi. Adopt him now before he starts charging a subscription fee.

But seriously, he’s been waiting six months. Six. Months. And he’s a genuinely good boy who just wants his people. Let’s get Nacho home. ❤️

Featured adoption candidate of the week:

This sweet girl with special is looking for a furever home 🐾💖

Surely there is someone out there for this special girl.

Meet Sparkle! ✨

This little gem truly lives up to her name! Sparkle is a young Doberman puppy who was born with DINGS — a rare genetic condition that affects her hearing, vision, and balance. Despite these challenges, Sparkle doesn’t let anything dim her shine. She’s wobbly, sure, but she’s also smart, resilient, and full of puppy spirit.

In just a short time, Sparkle has already learned to navigate the main floor of her foster home like a pro. She uses her paws like little walking sticks to explore new spaces and quickly figures out her surroundings. Her foster mom says she’s equal parts sweet and spunky — a snuggle bug one minute and a “bucking bronco” the next when the zoomies hit!

Sparkle is working hard on potty training and leash skills. She’s a quick learner, especially when her humans are patient and consistent. She doesn’t bark, but she’ll cry for attention like a typical baby Doberman. She loves everyone she meets — kids included — and enjoys being around other dogs, even if her play style is still a little awkward.

Sparkle will need a special home — one that understands her unique needs and can give her time, structure, and lots of love. In return, she’ll give back tenfold with her affection, resilience, and joy. She’s proof that even when life looks a little different, it can still sparkle.

What is DINGS? DINGS (also known as DVDob or vestibular deafness) in Dobermans is a congenital (heritable) disease characterized by deafness combined with vestibular dysfunction that is expected to affect approximately 13% of all Dobermans. DINGS was first reported in Dobermans in the early 80s and was characterized as a disease in 1992.
