Here’s something we don’t see very often. Many of our Dobers over the years have had natural ears, but very few have undocked tails. An undocked tail is not my personal preference, but of course it in no way diminishes the quality a dog. In fact, some potential adopters are opposed to docking and seek out Dobers with the natural look.
As with many of our dogs in the past few months, we’ve named this one for a Ukrainian city. She was rescued from a neglectful environment where she had been kept in a crate and rarely fed or shown attention. Then she was kept in a foster home for months before Rescue Angels found out about her and were able to help her find the way to DRT.
As with pretty much every young Dober we’ve ever had, she‘s friendly, playful, and loving once she is accustomed to her new environment. She’s active and playful with other dogs, and she knows to sit and come on command.
To sum it up, despite her less-than-stellar circumstances before coming to us, she‘s a sweet girl with a look and attitude of childlike innocence.
Volunteer comments:
“For those people that say Dobermans aren‘t cute, I give you Sokal. She is absolutely adorable. She walks around with a smile on her face and a sense of curiosity. I call her a "two finger" on a leash because it only takes two fingers to hold the leash when walking. She rarely pulls, and at 60 pounds she is very manageable. I said hello to her on Saturday when I met her but I also said goodbye to her when I left, because I know she isn‘t going to be around DRT for long!”
“Sokal is one cute girl! Very sweet and seems anxious to please.”
“Sokal is a sweetheart with a happy personality. I was impressed with how well she got along and played with Zamboni, as well as how affectionate she was when I met her.”
Sokal shows every promise of being a loving and loyal companion for many years to come. If you think she may be a fit for your home, make an appointment to meet her once your application is approved, and come for a visit with her. Just be sure you’re committed to taking her home with you if you do, because you won’t want to leave without her! |
