Glinda

Glinda is a beautiful 8-year-old Doberman girl was rescued from euthanasia after arriving at a shelter heartworm positive, when the shelter did not have the resources to provide the treatment she desperately needed. Thanks to Doberman Underground Rescue and the dedicated care she received, Glinda has successfully completed her heartworm treatment and is now ready to begin the next chapter of her life - finding a safe, loving forever home where she can truly relax and thrive.

When Glinda first arrived in foster care, her shyness and uncertainty were evident. It took her several days to come out of her shell, but even then, you could see in her eyes that she wanted to trust - she just needed time. Once she feels safe, Glinda's affectionate and loyal personality shines. She happily comes when called, often with her little nub wagging with excitement. She loves being close to her people and will lay next to you on the couch with her head resting gently on your hand or her nose touching you. If you are standing, she is just as content lying or sitting at your feet to stay connected. Ear scratches, neck rubs, and tummy rubs are some of her absolute favorite things.

Glinda enjoys spending time outdoors and is always ready to go outside, no matter the weather - snow and cold included! Because she is still regaining strength after heartworm treatment, her activity level is currently limited, but she is doing very well with calmer enrichment activities such as chewing on bones, working on pupsicles, and enjoying mind games inside the home. She enjoys leash walks for potty breaks and sniffing adventures and would likely enjoy longer walks as she continues to rebuild stamina.

Glinda would thrive in a home that offers a nice balance between relaxed companionship and outdoor activity. A homebody who also enjoys daily leash walks and safe backyard time would be ideal. She will require a securely fenced yard where she can safely explore and play. She shows great interest in neighboring dogs and enjoys fence-line interaction, though she can get excited and eager to chase during play. She is also extremely interested in the scent of a neighbor's cat shelter, so a cat-free home will be required.

Glinda has done well living with the large, male resident Doberman in her foster home. They have settled comfortably together. They stand next to each other, touch noses calmly, and coexist peacefully. Small dogs are not a match. The resident dog has offered play invitations, which Glinda has shown interest in, but play has been limited due to her heartworm recovery.

Glinda can be shy when meeting new people, but she warms up nicely with patience, treats, and gentle affection. Once she feels comfortable, her loving and devoted nature becomes clear.

Glinda has overcome so much and is ready to share her heart with a family willing to give her the patience, love, and security she deserves. If you are looking for a loyal companion who will quietly steal your heart and stay by your side, Glinda may be your perfect match.
