We are an all volunteer, state-wide Doberman rescue in Texas, based out of Fort Worth, TX since 2012. We rescue all ages and all kinds of medical cases & seniors of Dobermans across Texas, as well as parts of OK, LA and AR. We place them in individual, loving foster homes for a minimum of 1 month, for proper vetting and behavior evaluations, and basic manners training. The average foster length is 1-4 months until they are adopted to a perfect match home, which is most important, so the dogs can be successful in their forever homes. We financially support them while in foster care, including several seniors each year who are hard to find homes for, and sadly, may never get adopted, but live wonderful lives with their forever foster family. Most seniors end up being in foster care for 1-3 years, happy, healthy, but with little to no interest in adoption due to their age, so we happily support them.
We also partner with several other Doberman rescues in Northern and Midwest states who do not have as much need as we do in Texas, and we arrange ground transfer for several dozen Texas Doberman per year to those transfer partners.
In 2018 alone, we covered the cost of 9 orthopedic surgeries for dogs with old injuries or broken legs, equaling over $30,000 in surgery costs alone, not including all of our other medical cases, such as mange, neurological diseases, cancers, cardio, liver and kidney disease dogs.
Also, 70% of the dogs we rescue are heartworm positive, so that is also an additional cost and time involved treatment for the large majority of the dogs we rescue.
Funds for vet bills are our # 1 need.
Monetary donations, foster homes and transportation volunteers.
Our mission is to save, rehabilitate and re-home Dobermans who find themselves homeless in Texas and have no other options for safe placement. For us, it is all about the dogs and their lifelong health, safety and success. We offer lifetime mentoring and support after the adoption as well, to insure a lifetime of success in the new homes.
We also partner with multiple rescues in the Northern & Midwestern states, and immediate states west of Texas to transfer dobermans to other reputable rescue partners when there are more dogs in need in Texas, then Texas rescues can accommodate.
Our biggest needs are foster homes! And donations.
