About Anna (Doberman Pinscher) in Minneapolis

Anna is waiting for you at Doberman Rescue Minnesota in Minneapolis, MN 55403. Anna is a big personality wrapped in a petite package! At around 3 years old, this sweet girl was found as a stray and has been blossoming in her foster home ever since. Naturally a bit skittish, Anna is still full of love, joy, and affection once she warms up. She’s playful, loyal, and always ready for some fun—especially if it involves fetch, walks, or zooming around the yard with her foster siblings! Anna is especially fond of snuggling up next to her foster mom during quiet reading time, making her the perfect mix of playful energy and cozy companionship. She’s already learned several commands like sit, spin, turn, wait, leave it, take it, and has a strong recall. She’s currently working on heel, down, front, shake, and stay, and she regularly offers up new behaviors for things she loves—like food, walks, and games! With her eagerness to learn and strong drive, she’d likely thrive in activities like scent work or obedience training. Anna is great with small animals (she’s been tested around guinea pigs, rats, mice, a bearded dragon, and a leopard gecko), and she adores children and adults once she feels safe. However, she’s still a little cautious with strangers and unfamiliar situations, so she’ll need a patient and understanding home to help her continue building confidence. Respecting her space and providing positive reinforcement are key to helping her thrive. She is opening up more and more lately and her confidence is growing. Anna has a high prey drive—she loves to chase birds and squirrels—so a secure, 6-foot privacy fence is a must, as she can easily jump lower ones. She’ll also need to be walked with a slip lead or martingale collar to keep her safe. She is crate trained, house trained, and loves her kennel—it’s her go-to safe space when she’s feeling overwhelmed. She’s incredibly affectionate, often bringing her people little “treasures” like the adorable trash panda
