About this Dog
Meet Kipper: 75 Pounds of Drama, Cuddles, and Loyalty Status: Available for Adoption Breed Mix: Doberman(ish) – DNA says 54% Doberman, 13% Great Pyrenees, 12% Labrador, and the rest is a delightful mystery Age: 4 years, 8 months (born Oct 2020, a Libra if you're into that) Current Mood: Slightly suspicious but very snuggly Eye Color: Brown, and yes, they're judging you Training: Knows more commands than your average toddler Fence: Required — he needs his own turf to patrol Good with: Adults who get him Not good with: Kids, cats, or drama from other dogs Who is Kipper? Kipper is a house-trained, couch-hogging, treat-sniffing good boy with a serious work ethic when it comes to guarding his people and getting belly rubs. He’s part Doberman, part goofball, and 100% devoted to his humans — once he decides you're cool, you’re basically royalty. He doesn’t do crates anymore — he’s evolved. But don’t worry, he’s a trustworthy gentleman when left alone. Vocal Talents: Kipper’s got opinions. You’ll know when the mail comes, when a leaf moves, or when he’s ready for some ear scratches. His bark says “stranger danger,” but his heart says “please cuddle me forever.” He also does this weird Wookiee-speak when he’s happy. It’s weird. It’s adorable. You’ll love it. Smarter Than Your Ex This dog knows a lot and has been schooled in proper obedience! He’s so food-motivated he’d probably learn how to file your taxes if kibble was involved. He LOVES training games and mental challenges. Hide his treats and watch the detective go to work. Agatha Christie wishes she had this nose. Let’s Get Physical Kipper needs daily workouts and a fenced yard. Prefers games of fetch in the yard, walks around the block, or trick training in the living room — he’s game. Cuddle Monster Status: Expert If you have a couch and a heart, Kipper will be in both. He’s the kind of dog who believes personal space is a suggestion. He’s your emotional support shadow. Expect him to be your coffee buddy in the morning and your fuzzy blanket at night. ⚠️ Stranger Danger Here’s the tea: Kipper does not welcome strangers with open paws. He thinks he’s a bouncer at the exclusive club that is your home. Barking, growling — he’ll do what it takes to keep the weirdos out (including your friends). BUT — and it’s a big but — if you introduce people calmly, on his terms, he’ll come around. Usually within 5–10 minutes, he’s trying to sit in their lap. His current humans are happy to demo the “Kipper Intro Protocol” (patent pending). Kipper’s Dream Home: No other pets, thank you very much. No kids — not because he’s mean, just because he’s overstimulated and slightly dramatic. A fenced yard, a comfy couch, lotsa treats and some squeaky toys. Humans who love training, walks, and working with a dog who’s a bit extra but totally worth it. Bonus points if you appreciate a dog who’s emotionally intelligent… and occasionally suspicious of anyone he deems as outsider to his royal circle. Kipper is: ✅ Cuddly ✅ Hilariously expressive-he has a lot to say when he talks ✅ Brilliant and eager to please ✅ Protective but lovable ❌ Not here for kids, cats, or dog park politics If you want a loyal best friend who’s got personality for days, impeccable house manners (potty trained, crate trained!), and a heart of gold (under a protective layer), Kipper just might be your guy. Apply now to adopt Kipper! He’s ready to patrol your home, love you fiercely, and possibly narrate your life with his dramatic vocals. www.uniteddobermanrescue.org
