Neyo is a well behaved, laid back 6 year old Doberman. He came to us via rescue transfer from Lorain County. Neyo immediately moved into a foster home where he is now living with his foster humans and their adult low energy dobermans.
Neyo has a blood clotting disorder called Von Willebrand’s disease. It is caused by a deficiency in the amount of a specific protein needed to help platelets stick together and form clots to seal broken blood vessels. At least thirty different breeds are affected, but the Doberman Pinscher is the breed with the highest incidence of Von Willebrand’s disease. Although Dobermans are commonly affected, they usually have the mildest form of the disease.
Owners of affected dogs should use caution in situations where excessive roughhousing is observed, such as at home with siblings, dog parks or dog daycare (where fights may occur) or activities were injury (such as taking a spill during an agility competition) are more likely to happen. Because of his diagnosis, Neyo needs to be the only dog in his future forever home to reduce risk of injury.
Neyo is up to date on vaccines, microchipped and neutered. Please review his foster report to learn more about him.
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
Neyo is such a great boy. He gets along with everyone. We estimate he is 6 or 7 years old, but he acts much younger! I couldn’t ask for a better foster dog. He has great house manners and has never had a problem with accidents or chewing. He is very laid back, but loves attention. He will be your shadow. He does very well in his crate just as long as he isn’t left in there for hours on end.
Neyo does like to eat and at a very high speed. He gulps his food so we have been using a slow feeder bowl which helps a lot with this issue. He is very intelligent. He knows to come when called, sit, lay down and does nicely on a leash. Neyo loves his toys and will carry them around with him. He is a little bit protective of toys though, but it is nothing serious. We have observed a little under his breath growl, but he stops when verbally corrected. He also rides well in a car.
Neyo sleeps in a dog bed at night, but will crawl into bed if invited. He likes to play with other dogs, but can be a bit selective as to whom he plays with. He would do well playing with a dog of the same energy level. He may also do well living with a dog experienced cat but has not been tested yet.
Neyo is all healed up from his neuter surgery, and ready for his new home. Anyone would be lucky to have him. I really can’t say enough good things about Neyo, he is just such a good boy.

We are not open to the public. Our dogs are typically in foster homes. and therefore we ask that you not to come to our facility to meet dogs unless you have an appointment made in advance to do so.
Come to any one of our events featured on our events calendar page which are also posted on our Facebook event page. Event times and locations are subject to change.
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.
