Kane is a 10 month old male doberman who arrived to Secondhand Mutts last month as a rescue transfer from Lake Humane Society. Kane moved immediately into a foster home where he is living with several other male and female dogs. He is crate trained, potty trained and learning basic commands/manners with the help of his foster family.
Kane is energetic and playful. He gets along well with other dogs. He enjoys going on walks and playing with chew toys. Being a young, active dog, Kane will need an owner with the time and energy to provide him with plenty of exercise, structure and leadership.
Kane is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. For more information about Kane, please see the foster report below.
Typically our dogs stay in a foster home where we can learn as much about them as possible to assist with our efforts for making the best match with a new home. The adjustment period for every dog is different while they are transitioning into a foster home as well as a forever home. Our foster providers send us their foster reports and the information received is updated on our website throughout the dogs time with us.
Our Foster Provider Program is an integral part of our mission to Respect the Dog. Without fosters, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. We are always actively screening individuals and families to provide our dogs with a safe, structured, foster home to give each dog the time, love and respect they deserve while they are in search of landing their forever home.

Foster Provider Dog Report
Kane is full of personality. He is a very busy boy who likes to check out everything. He is very playful and smart. He does know sit, down and has a nice recall. Kane walks nicely on a training lead. From my experience, he will not do well with a harness. It seems the previous owners used a harness all the time and he had learned that harnesses are meant for pulling, not walking. We made the switch to a lead, and he’s done great! He does well with other dogs of his own size, but has not been tested with cats or small dogs. Since he is still fairly young (10 months) he could probably adjust with the right small dog or cat in his new home. After a few short minutes of fussing, he settles and sleeps through the night in his crate. Kane loves toys, especially chew toys such as Kong, Nylabones and other tough toys. I will say, if its plush, it’s life expectancy is very short.
Kane is a true puppy so he’s going to need an owner to give him guidance and structure. He will try and see what he can get away with (just like any young dog would) so leadership from his new owner will be important. I would recommend Kane be adopted by someone with Doberman or big dog experience. He would do best with a fenced in yard so he can burn up his energy or with someone who has an active lifestyle. He is not a dog for someone that doesn’t want to spend the time and energy to participate in him growing into a great companion. He would be a very fun dog to do obedience classes and with his energy, rally or agility wouldn’t be out of the question.
Kane just enjoys life! With a little guidance and training, he’s going to make someone a great dog!

We schedule in-store ‘Meet-Our-Mutt’ events twice a month held on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month. The dogs are chaperoned to the event by volunteers and we typically have the arrangements for which dogs will be on site a few days prior to the event date.
To inquire about which dogs will be at an event send our volunteer in-store events coordinator an email in advance.
Private introductions with a volunteer or the dogs foster provider are arranged after we have received an adoption application.
