Hello, my name is Gypsy. I am a very majestic, high-energy, and loving young adult female Doberman Pinscher who loves nothing more than spending time with my people. I can be a bit anxious in new environments and situations, but I do well with a solid routine. I’m super smart too! I know commands like “sit”, “down”, “outside”, “come”, “go potty”, and “kennel/crate” and I’m even potty, crate and leash trained although I will admit that I pull on the leash and my strength can be easily overwhelming especially to younger/smaller people.
My favorite activities include snuggling, lounging on the couch, chewing on marrow bones, parading around the house with my favorite stuffed animal, and snacking on treats like blueberries, carrots, and tomatoes. In fact, I will even help myself to the tomatoes in the garden so hopefully my new home will have a few extra tomato plants just for me! Hee, hee!! I don’t think I need a doggie companion in my new home but if there is one, it should be noted that I prefer smaller dogs which some may say seems a bit ironic since I have a high-prey drive…go figure! Truth is, I dislike squirrels and other small critters in my space, so cats are definitely not a good fit for me. Foster mom says that I “can be a bit neurotic” when it comes to small vermin in my space, and I cannot disagree with her. After all, I am a natural guardian, always aware of my surroundings and vigilant about surveilling my property to maintain its integrity. Currently, I have free reign of the several acres on which I live, and I have never wandered off. If I didn’t have the property to run, I don’t know if I would need a fenced yard…part of me feels that a fenced yard I could call my own space would be great. I should also mention that I enjoy barking at strangers outside and I have quite a big, alarming bark so my new home should not have any shared walls!
Despite my strength and utter dislike for squirrels (hee, hee), I am a large, beautiful girl with an even bigger and more beautiful personality! I am an incredibly sweet lady who bonds very strongly to my people and have never shown any aggression to my family. Foster mom feels very privileged to be part of my story and I know she’s going to miss me terribly, but she knows that my life-long dream is to find a furever family I can call my own. A special family who will not only shower me with unconditional love but who will NEVER give up on me! Please let me share my life with YOU, I promise I will love you with every ounce of my being and together, we will make memories that will last a lifetime! Love, Gypsy
Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.

Pour toute adoption, nous demandons des justificatifs afin de compléter le dossier de l’adoptant : une pièce d’identité, un justificatif de domicile original de moins de 3 mois, et le certificat d’engagement et de connaissance des besoins spécifiques de l’espèce complété et signé 7 jours avant l’acquisition de l’animal.
Nous demandons également une participation financière, couvrant les frais vétérinaires dont l’animal a bénéficié lors de sa prise en charge (stérilisation, identification, vaccination, etc..). Si l’animal n’est pas encore stérilisé lors de l’adoption, un chèque de caution de 300€ est demandé.
