We supply food, shelter and medical care to Dobermans in our program until a forever home can be found. Dogs come to us from local shelters and owners that can no longer care for their dog.
The dogs in our program are housed in foster homes and boarding kennels.
Most of our rescues are happy, healthy Dobermans that require little medical attention besides routine vaccinations, spaying or neutering. We also handle special needs Dobies in our program.
All of our Dobermans are adopted to approved applicants after a home visit has been completed and vet references are checked. We work on matching dogs and owners based on the personality of the dog and the desires of the adopter. All of our rescues are spayed or neutered before being placed.
PSA: Winter is not always a wonderland for dogs!
Winter can be especially challenging for Dobermans, a breed known for their short coats and low body fat. Unlike many thick-furred dogs, Dobermans are more sensitive to cold temperatures and can become uncomfortable or even unsafe in harsh weather. During winter months, it’s important to limit prolonged outdoor exposure, especially on very cold, windy, or wet days. A well-fitted dog coat or sweater can help retain body heat, and short, frequent walks are often safer than long outings in freezing conditions.
Cold weather also brings hidden hazards such as icy sidewalks, road salt, and antifreeze spills, all of which can harm your dog. Salt and de-icing chemicals can irritate paw pads, causing cracking and discomfort. Wiping your dog’s paws after walks and using pet-safe balms or booties can help protect them. Additionally, always provide fresh water and keep food portions appropriate, as some dogs may burn more energy staying warm in winter.
Inside the home, Dobermans benefit from warm, draft-free resting areas and soft bedding. Older dogs and those with health issues may need extra attention during colder months, as joint stiffness and arthritis can worsen in low temperatures. Regular vet checkups, proper nutrition, and plenty of affection go a long way in keeping rescue Dobermans healthy and happy through winter. With thoughtful care and awareness, you can help your dog stay safe, comfortable, and loved all season long.
