Nicholas is a charming, 4-year-old red Doberman with a heart of gold. Rescued as a stray in Chicago just before Christmas, he has since become a beloved member of his foster home, where he lives with three other male Dobermans. With his cropped/flopped ears, docked tail, and sweet face, Nicholas is as handsome as he is loving.

This confident boy thrives in the company of other large dogs and enjoys playtime and wrestling. However, be warned: he’s got a strong prey drive and will enthusiastically chase rabbits, squirrels, chickens, and possibly cats, too! Nicholas is also an avid “fence runner,” so a privacy fence is a must for him to feel comfortable and secure.

Though he arrived a bit underweight, Nicholas is now healthy and happy, ready to be your perfect companion. His foster mom describes him as “move-in ready”—he’s potty trained, well-mannered in the house, and a respectful eater. He doesn’t need to be crated at night or when you leave, and he takes treats gently. Nicholas even stands quietly for a bath!

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and playful companion, Nicholas is ready to shower you with “Doberkisses” and happy nubwags. He will make a fantastic addition to a family with a love for large, confident dogs.

Could Nicholas be your new best friend?
