Niles is an all-natural red Doberman who is ready to find his forever family after a challenging start to life. This 18-month-old boy was surrendered by his elderly owner when they realized his youthful energy was more than they could manage. Shortly after, Niles underwent neuter surgery for retained testicles, which led to some unexpected complications. Despite the rough road, Niles has recovered beautifully and is now thriving in his foster home.
Niles is an affectionate, smart, and fun-loving Doberman with a full tail that never stops wagging! He’s quickly learning basic commands like sit, stay, and down, and he’s already house-trained. Niles enjoys wrestling with his foster brother (a pug/Boston mix), munching on ice cubes, and snuggling up with his humans on the couch—he's totally a lap dog! At night, he’ll happily sleep in his crate but wouldn’t mind being your personal heater if there’s room in your bed.
Niles is looking for a home with breed experience or experience with large, energetic dogs. He loves his humans and would do best in a family that can spend plenty of time with him. He’s friendly with everyone, but his exuberance might be a bit much for young children. Niles also does well with other dogs, especially those who enjoy a good play session. He is even friendly toward cats!
Niles doesn’t need a fenced yard but loves spending time outside. He’s been doing well on a leash, though he’s still learning not to pull, and his energy is boundless! Niles loves toys and is learning to pick out his favorites from the toybox. He’s also a talker and will happily let you know when he wants some attention or has something to say.
Niles would thrive in a home with another playful dog or with an active family who can keep up with his energy and love. While he’s good around children, older kids would be a better fit due to his enthusiasm. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who’s eager to learn and love, Niles might be the perfect match for you!
