Adoptable Dobie of the week is special girl, Perdita.

Location: Dobies and Little Paws Rescue in Fillmore, California.

Gender: Female

Age: 5 - 6 years old

Story:  Perdita came into a rescue as a stray. It is hard to believe she simply got out of her yard considering how docile she is and that she is mostly blind.  Her eyes were the first thing the rescue noticed and she was taken straight to the vet to have them checked out. It turns out that the white is all old scarring from some kind of horrible trauma.  It is unknown for sure if it was a burn or something else but it is permanent.  She cannot see through the white areas so the vision directly in front of her is non-existent. However, she can see peripherally where there isn't scarring so she isn't 100% blind.  Despite her horrible fortune, Perdita is one of the sweetest dogs out there.

Temperament: She is full of love, very social, and gentle.  However, she needs someone patient who can help her when she's nervous about her lack of sight and can give her a very reliable home that isn't constantly changing. She is quiet and lives with other dogs but she has also clearly been beat up in her life, possibly because she ran into the wrong dog at the wrong time, so she needs really friendly doggie friends that won't overwhelm or hurt her.

Perdita is a special girl and she needs a special home where she can truly be appreciated.

As the only Doberman specific rescue in California, Dobies and Little Paws has approximately 200 Dobies in their program as any given time. Let's help them find these beautiful babies forever homes.

Adoptable Dobie of the week is cutie, Gryff.

Gender: Male

Age: Best guess is about 3 years old

Location: Currently located at Dobies and Little Paws Rescue in Fillmore, California.

Story: Gryff is an adult who came to Dobies and Little Paws Resuce from an animal shelter in seriously rough shape.  He was quite skinny and half bald from a long untreated skin infection.  He had clearly suffered from weeks, if not months, of neglect so it took them some time to get him on the right track.  Luckily, he responded well and not only gained some healthy weight but his fur grew back too.  

Temperament: Gryff is a naturally sweet boy and loves people but he isn't always great with other dogs so he should be your one and only.  There's a great dog in Gryff and lots of potential just waiting to be unlocked. He is a volunteer favorite and every dog walker falls in love with this energetic guy. He’s been through so much and he definitely deserves a loving home as soon as possible so he can start living his best life. 

Training: It seems that Gryff not only was physically neglected but he also didn't have much training so he'll need someone to teach him a few things. 

For more info or to set up a meet and greet with Gryff, please contact Dobies and Little Paws Rescue directly, dobierescue@earthlink.net or (805) 524-5102.

Adoptable Dobie of the week is sweet boy, Laredo.

Gender: Male

Age: Best guess is 2-3 years old

Story:  He was originally brought in to an animal shelter by someone claiming to have found him, bone-thin and utterly exhausted. It's unknown how long he had been lost, but he quickly regained lost body mass with multiple feedings daily.

Temperament: This super sweet, somewhat shy boy quickly became a volunteer favorite. He has not been tested with children yet during his stay at DALP, but he hasn't given them any reason to worry as he seems calm and well acclimated.

Training: It is unknown what sort of training or environment he came from, but he is currently kenneled with a female Doberman and they are getting along peacefully.

On Sunday, October 8th we had the privilege to attend Dobies and Little Paws Rescue fundraiser at Ventura Coast Brewing. Beer and Dobermans? We're in! Appropriatley named OkDoberFest, this day of brews and raffle prizes raised over $1,000 for the rescue.

Amongst the fun we met sweet Dobies and some little paws too.

First up is Nate. Nate is actually available for adoption through Friends For Pets Rescue. He is currently in foster care and is just the sweetest boy. He is a handsome red male, neutered, up to date on shots and vaccinations and house trained.

To read Nate's full profile and for adoption info, please visit his info page right here.

We also met this 3 legged rescue Dobie, and the fluffiest little pup too.

Remy's K9 Kitchen came out to celebrate and hand out their all-natural, Doberman approved dog treats. 

This year's OkDoberFest was super special as they celebrated 30 years of rescuing Dobies. To think of the thousands of lives they have saved of the years, we are so thankful for  Dobies and Little Paws Rescue. 

Dobies and Little Paws Rescue is a non-profit rescue that takes in hundreds of dogs each year, getting them medical care and everyday love until they find their forever home. If you would like to donate to this amazing organization, you can do so right here.

Name: Logan

Logan's Story:  Handsome Logan is the unfortunate victim of divorce. He was raised since puppyhood by a couple, who after getting divorced could no longer care for him. He was left with an elderly couple who cared for him, but not much else. He was essentially an outdoor dog being overfed, with no real exercise, interaction or fun. Lucky for him, Cool Dog Training offered to take him in and help re-home him. He is currently in foster care with the awesome trainer at Cool Dog Training, who has brushed up his obedience skills and made sure to shower him with love and exercise to get him back down to his target weight.

Breed: Doberman Pinscher

Health and Stats: Logan is a 5 year old pure bred Doberman Pinscher male. He just celebrated his birthday on October 11 (DOB 10/11/11). He is neutered, up to date on shots, and other than being a little overweight he is in great health. He currently weighs about 103 pounds but should be more in the 90 to 95 pound range.

Temperament: Logan is a straight love bug! This boy loves his people and loves to be loved! He has the sweetest temperament and is content to just chill. He does well with other dogs and people of all kinds. He loves kids and would make an excellent family dog! This dog is pure love.

Training & Daily Life: He is house trained and knows his cues, including: sit, down, wait/stay, place, come, and off. He is crate trained. He gets a B+ for leash walking. He would rather be with his human, so he stays in pretty close proximity. He does well in the car and house and would easily incorporate into a new home as he is very easy going. Unlike many rescue dogs who require a lot of work, Logan is ready to go. He really is a great dog!

Logan is available for adoption through Cool Dog Training in Southern California. There is a possibility for long distance adoption but the family or individual will need to come meet him with any of their pets. If you are interested in adopting Logan or have any questions, please email Lynne directly at info@cooldogtraining.com.
