KIT - GREAT PYRENEES / DOBERMAN PINSCHER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Great Pyrenees / Doberman Pinscher / Mixed (medium coat). This is Kit, she’s a Doberman/Great Pyrenees mix born approximately 9/29/22. Kit has fully acclimated to our home, as a foster, after about 10 months here. She has done well at adoption events, curiously sniffing people & enjoying pets. She will always be timid with new people, but is definitely settling in more quickly now that she is gaining confidence. She will cautiously sniff new people & approach, but it will take her a bit to truly invite attention. She also is responding to the “come” command to get her leash or harness on, where a few months ago, she would run away from the leash the minute it came out. We moved her kennel, so had a bit of challenge re-orienting her to it, but she still goes in easily & is quiet when there. If Kit had her way, she would be outside all the time, she LOVES running outside & would do amazing with a dog or two to run around with and a fenced in yard-preferably a privacy fence. She is very dog friendly, but does give cues when she is tired or has a favorite toy/bone. She does have a high prey drive so no cats, birds, rabbits or other small pets. We have chickens and she's VERY interested in them. She comes when called "inside" & knows the "kennel" command. She eats in her kennel & has never made a peep when in it during my work hours. She does bark at most of the passerby's outside on the busy sidewalk, as we live just down from a school, so there is lots of foot traffic. She REALLY likes sleeping in bed with us, but that is a rare occasion. She is getting more snuggly on the couch too & really loves attention, when she is ready for it. After 10 months, she finally rolled over for belly rubs & took a few treats from my hand! Due to her cautious nature, older, respectful kids would be best. She will take time an patience to adjust in a new environment but when she does the little things will reward you tenfold. She's been in rescue long enough and would love a home of her own. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX , flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $550.00
