Commander Bo is a stunning strong blue Doberman with cropped ears and a docked tail. He has the 'look' that everyone loves - however, even he ended up abandoned in the county. He is a middle aged country boy who enjoys working out, listening to 80s rock and drinks his coffee black. He tries to be the biggest boy around at about 79 lbs (a toxic masculinity trait of his) - barks at other large male dogs and tries to fence fight or get face-to-face with another male. He is used to being the biggest dog around, so he does play with other dogs - mainly females and a few younger puppy males in his foster home. Bo will challenge other strong willed males (bulldogs, alphas, chihuahuas) by barking and lunging. Based on Bo's need to be the 'Commander' of the pack - he would be best in a home with female dogs, big girls who will play with him. His play style is very juvenile and the other lab puppies tolerate his nipping and mouthy (grabbing by the neck) play. We suspect he did not have other dog friends before or this is his first time being encouraged to 'be a dog' and play supervised but unrestricted. We would not recommend dog parks for older dogs like Bo who lack some social clues and see most dog behavior as threatening. He can be introduced to dogs who will be part of his family or regular playmates, supervised for corrections. Along with his dominant Doberman look (cropped standing ears, muscle tone and deep bark) he has a sensitive tummy like a byproduct of being a 'blue.' His ego gets hurt easily so he looks for human hugs and affirmations daily. Bo lived his life in a rural area and has adapted well to his foster home, trains easily and adores humans. YouTube Video: https://youtube.com/shorts/H8noIhnnSVI?si=Lq9lwLOmyg0gGUHj Bo rides nicely in a car and likes to go for walks, leash training is new to him, but he listens to confident adults. Bo is crate trained and enjoys a large comforter for curling up. Bo would do best in a home with female dogs for companionship and a family experienced with big dogs who need cuddle therapy. There is no doubt, Bo loves people and attention. He gives hugs to his foster mom and has quickly learned 'sit' - a necessary command since he would headbutt people out of excitement. He is housetrained but will mark if males are around. Vaccinated, Neutered, Microchipped, heartworm treated-on prevention. FOSTERED IN TEXAS. *Adoption Fee includes XL crate fee on transport to PNW, Midwest or NY-NJ-CT-VA-VT states by pet transport partners. Adoption Fee reflects the need for an XL crate at travel.

Skinny, poor coat, heartworm positive and with an URI when we met him. He was quick to take meals and guarded his food/treats initially. With time, he took treats gently when reminded and would be gentle with his foster humans. Due to Bo's size and assertiveness, older children would be ok. Bo needed to be given directions otherwise, he will do whatever he wanted in the beginning. He appears to be around 6 years old and future medical needs will include dental care.
