For Petfinder: Stryder has been returned due to unforeseen circumstances. This one-year-old black and rust male with cropped ears, athletic build, and impressive intelligence is once again, looking for his forever home. He exhibits a strong working breed temperament: affectionate, intelligent, and vigilant. Protective of the home and yard, Stryder alerts to external presence and visitors. He needs continued work with socialization. From time to time, we encounter a dog with an unwavering dedication to work. Stryder finds ultimate joy in having a job and pleasing his owner. His obedience training was highly successful, and we determined that a home with prior experience in working dogs would be most suitable. Our primary concern is to find a home that will leverage Stryder's desire to work, guaranteeing his happiness in his permanent home. A physical fence is necessary due to his age, prey drive and energy level. He's crate trained and enjoys walks using a gentle leader. Patience, guidance, reassurance, and treats help to ease car anxiety. Stryder is not a starter dog. He will thrive in an adults-only home with Doberman or working breed experience that is active and highly structured, providing him with ample opportunities to use his intelligence as well as his need to burn energy. He is unsuitable for small dogs and cats but might be compatible with a tolerant, comparable-sized companion. Regular exercise, mental challenges, and chew bones are essential. We are currently accepting applications in most of Ohio, Southeastern Michigan, Southeastern Indiana and Western Pennsylvania. This limited area is due to our requirement for one of our experienced volunteers to perform a visit in your home as part of the adoption process. Interested in Stryder?
