Update! Blix will be going to his very own home Thanksgiving weekend. The couple who are adopting him live in Reno and they are experienced Doberman owners. They passed their home check with flying colors and received a great recommendation from their veterinarian. Blix will be a full time house dog except when he wants to cool himself off in his very own man-made stream and wading pool in the backyard. He will have a tiny female Doxie as a companion when his folks are at work. His new mom is going to take him to obedience training too! Thank you all for your continued support of this wonderful and deserving dog. Let's hope Blix has many years with his new family.

This unfortunate victim of Sarcoptic mange and incredible neglect was saved by a local shelter and Doberman Pinscher SOS has been rehabilitating him. (See the stark before picture taken just after he was pulled from the shelter and amazing after picture below!) Details of his history and progress can be found on the Dobie SOS website at www.dobiesos.org. The mange is not difficult to cure and after one week this fine boy is feeling and looking much better than before. Blix is about 8 years old and is red/tan, cropped, docked, and neutered. This guy is actually happy and he does the "full body wag" at any bit of attention and especially if food is involved!

Blix is now available for adoption. He has turned out to be the most wonderful dog. He is smart, affectionate, and obedient. He is social with other dogs, both male and female and we think he can learn to live with cats. He is not a barker or a digger and he is mellow yet has plenty of go. Blix enjoys riding in a car and he is crate-trained. He has a cleft in his palate that doesn't cause much problem at all. He does requires thyroid medication. He and Belle are great friends and they would make a fun pair!
