In the shelter’s words

Meet Deku, a big, playful Doberman mix with a love for toys, treats, and affection! This 4-year-old boy enjoys exploring his surroundings, chasing after squeaky toys, and showing off his sit command. He’s also a fan of pets and will happily lean in for attention, nudging your hand when he’d like more. Deku has spent the last four years with his previous family and is now looking for a new home after a housing change. Deku can be anxious in the shelter and is a strong puller on leash, especially when he sees other dogs. He has shown the ability to disengage and move on during dog introductions, and he may do well with a compatible canine friend after thoughtful introductions. He could also enjoy being the only dog in the home, with opportunities to socialize with suitable dog friends. Deku would benefit from a family ready to help him build confidence and practice leash skills using patience and positive reinforcement. He has also received treatment for an ear infection and recently had a skin mass removed, so his adopter should review his medical disclosures and follow up with their veterinarian. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion and are ready to help a big guy settle into his next chapter, Deku would love to meet you!
