Mr Freckles

About This Dog for Adoption

Mr Freckles's ideal home

Mr Freckles is a big and handsome 2 year old Dobermann who arrived into our care after being found as a stray. Since coming into our care, he has been a real whirlwind who is full of energy! Mr Freckles is looking for an active home that can put his energy into something positive, he can sometimes struggle with his concentration so adopters will need to be committed to making training and fun and positive experience for him. He may need some support with things such as housetraining and we recommend that any time being left alone is built up gradually, leaving him with things to give himself occupied. Being a big lad, he can be quite strong on the lead and hasn't quite mastered his manners, so new owners will need to be confident in holding him and continuing his training. He can sometimes get himself a little overwhelmed which can lead to behaviours such as jumping up and over arousal, so will need some guidance on making better choices. Mr Freckles can find lots of handling a bit scary and has been learning to wear a muzzle for things such as bath time. Due to his worries, we think he would be best suited to children of 14+ who are confident around large dogs and can learn to read his body language. We're currently still assessing him with other dogs, so whilst he needs to be the only pet for now this may change as we learn more about him.

Could you be Mr Freckles's perfect match?

Mr Freckles does have a condition called Colour Dilution Alopecia and whilst this doesn't cause him discomfort his new family will need to consider any extra needs going forward (such as dog sun cream in the summer). Our team would be happy to discuss his needs in more detail with any potential adopters, however he isn't currently on medication or treatment.
