Meet Papa Wheelie

Papa Wheelie is a big, happy 7-year-old Doberman who could not be more perfect! Papa was found wandering stray and was picked up by local animal control. He was the “favorite” at the shelter as workers there found him friendly and happy and ready to please. He loves to meet new people! He can’t wait to get into the car and go for a ride AND he crates beautifully! He didn’t have a name, so I named him Papa Wheelie after his carefree personality! Papa has some calluses on elbows and pressure points from lying on hard surfaces, but he is on soft beds now! He shows signs of the beginnings of wobblers but he gets around just fine. He looks and acts like a dog half his age! Papa is 100% housebroken. He crates without a problem. He respects even the smallest gate and has perfect house manners. He knows basic commands: sit, down, no, stay, off. An obedience refresher course would be great for him for bonding and social activity! Papa loves to go for a walk, but he does pull on the lead. He does not jump on the fence when he is outside. He is very playful and loves his stuffie toys and his bone! He mouths his stuffies but does not rip them up. He will chase a thrown rope or tennis ball and pick it up but does not “fetch”. Papa loves to be scratched and petted and does do the Dober lean! He loves to have his ears cleaned! I would recommend Papa be placed with a family without small children. At the end of the day after his play and walk and food, Papa loves to lie on his dog bed out of the way and take a snooze but if you get up, so will he and he will follow you around to see what you are doing! He is a great companion dog! Email Pam at orphandobe@ameritech.net
