Coraline

*If you are interested in adopting Coraline, please fill out an application at: www.loveandpuppypawsdogrescue.com/adoption-application Coraline is a sweet, laid back 5 month old Doberman or Beauceron that weighs 35 lbs. She is estimated to be around 85-90 lbs when she is fully grown. Her personality is equal parts sweet, curious, silly, cuddly, and endlessly entertaining. She has an irresistibly quirky charm that keeps her foster family laughing every single day. One of Coraline's absolute favorite games is peek-a-boo. She'll quietly poke her little head around a doorway and patiently watch her humans until someone notices her. The second you ask, "What are you doing?" she will do the cutest happy zoomies, thrilled that you joined in on the game. Its impossible not to smile around her. She has such a playful spirit, but she expresses it in the gentlest, funniest ways. Coraline is deeply people-oriented and loves being near her humans. She follows her foster mom around the house like a tiny shadow, quietly observing whatever is happening throughout the day. Whether it's folding laundry, cooking dinner, or working from home, Coraline always wants to be nearby. She isn't overly clingy or demanding for attention, which makes her such an easy companion to live with. She has many subtle little ways of showing affection, such as giving the sweetest puppy kisses or gently resting a paw or her nose against your leg when she falls asleep. Her foster mom often catches Coraline sitting quietly across the room simply staring at her lovingly before wandering over for a few pets. Coraline has an impressively calm and balanced temperament. She's naturally laid back and is an amazing work-from-home buddy, and is perfectly happy curling up on a cozy dog bed with a toy or chewing on a bone, entertaining herself quietly without needing constant supervision. She is also incredibly social with people and other dogs. She will greet new friends by calmly approaching for a few pets and affection before happily trotting off to continue playing or exploring. Coraline is truly the best of both worlds. She is playful yet laid back, independent yet deeply loving, and goofy yet incredibly intuitive. She's the kind of dog who will be your little sidekick, shadow, and best friend all in one. Coraline is low to medium energy, and get short spurts of puppy energy that are easily burned with play time and zoomies. She is more on the laid back side, but as she gets older, her energy level may increase. She gets the daily zoomies every evening and will playfully run and hop around the yard burning her puppy energy before bed. She would thrive in a home that enjoys a mix of adventure and relaxation. Whether its leisurely walks, weekend hikes, outdoor patio outings, or cozy evenings on the couch, Coraline will simply be happy being alongside her favorite people. She's the type of dog who forms deep emotional bonds and loves to be involved in her familys daily routine. She will be perfectly content going on short leisurely walks around the neighborhood and have a few short play sessions in the backyard. If you want to go on longer hikes and playing at the beach, she will be happy to join too. Because she's intelligent and naturally curious, she loves puzzle toys, treat-dispensing games, squeaky toys, ropes, and chew toys are all guaranteed to keep her happy and entertained at home. She'd be really happy if she got a BarkBox subscription each month with new toys, treats, and chews. She would benefit from a family that understands she's not the most confident pup yet in busy public areas, but she has the potential to be the best outdoor adventure buddy with more exposure and socialization as she gets older. She would absolutely adore a family that includes her in their outdoor adventures while also appreciating her calm, affectionate nature at home. Coraline is dog and kid friendly, and could acclimate living in a home with a cat. She is currently in a foster home with other dogs and loves them all. Her favorite dog in her foster home is the sassy little chihuahua who doesn't really care about her, but Coraline adores her and loves to snuggle up next to her every chance she gets. She also really loves to play with the senior poodle and 9 week old foster puppy, too. She is the type of pup that would do well with either calmer older dogs or playful, spunky dogs in a forever home. She's very adaptable to being around different personalities, temperaments, and energy levels. If she is the only dog in the home, she would benefit from having frequent play dates with doggy friends or go to doggy day care a couple times a week so she continues having positive interactions with other dogs as she grows up. Coraline loves children and has been around kids from 3 years old up to teenage ages. She would do best with older kids who understand that she's a big goofy puppy that doesn't realize her size. Because of that, she could knock over a young child or toddler who is learning how to walk due to her not knowing how large and goofy she is.. She is very gentle, sweet, and people-oriented, so if there are older kids in the home to play with and willing to give her affection in the form of belly rubs and back scratches, she's going to be a happy girl. Because of her young age and how easily adaptable she is, she would be able to join a family that has a cat in the home. Since she is a puppy, she would do best with dog-friendly cats that have lived with dogs before as she will want to play with them. Coraline is potty trained and kennel trained, and is still working on mastering leash training. She sleeps in a kennel at night with no fuss, but she loves when she gets to sleep in bed with her foster mom. She will go up and down the doggy stairs after she watched the chihuahua in the home use them, even though she can easily hop on/off the bed herself. When she gets to sleep in bed with her foster mom, she will stay curled up at the foot of the bed with her head resting on your foot or will sleep on a dog bed next to your bed. If she has to be kenneled, just point towards the kennel and she will step inside and eat her treats while you close the door. She has started leash training and just needs some extra practice boosting her confidence when she goes on walks. She is very treat motivated and will walk beside you as long as she gets rewarded with little bites of dog cookies along the way. She will need additional practice to perfect her leash walking skills in her forever home. She is doing well with potty training and will alert her foster mom that she needs to go outside by pacing at the back door. She also can use a dog door and will let herself out to potty whenever she needs to go. First thing in the morning, she will run to the door to be let out if the dog door is closed, and will wait for her foster to open the door for her. She does need to be taken out every 3-4 hours and kept on a consistent schedule until she settles in and learns her new routine in her forever home. Once she gets on a good routine, she can go longer between potty breaks. It is recommended to use a doggy door bell by the back door to help her learn how to notify you when she needs to go outside if there is not a dog door. Coraline's ideal home would be one where she can be included in her familys daily life and get plenty of love, exercise, and attention. She does need to live in a home with a fenced yard to run and play in. Because she is going to be a very large dog and sometimes gets nervous in busy areas, no apartments or condos because the loud noises may make her a little uneasy during her potty breaks. She would thrive in a home with another friendly, confident dog or have frequent play dates with doggy friends. She could happily live with older kids and cats too. She could happily live with older kids and cats too. She could happily live with older kids and cats too. No public dog parks for this sweet girl because who wants to risk your pup catching a disease or being bullied on by other random dogs anyways. She would love if her human works from home, but would do well going to doggy day care a few days a week. Coraline's ideal family would be one that wants to spend lots of quality time with her, and loves her unconditionally for her unique sweet, quirky, loyal personality.
