My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This mama is the sweetest girl around! Debbie was found as a very pregnant Doberman that was likely dumped and then brought to us by a couple of good Samaritans! She was originally thought to be around 3 years old but now that we’ve got her comfortable and taken a closer look, we believe Debbie is actually closer to 8 years old. She has some broken teeth and golf-ball sized mammary tumors but is as sweet as pie! She is currently still recovering from giving birth 1/4/24, but will soon have her veterinary needs addressed and will soon be ready for her furever home!

Debbie just wants to be loved on and go for walks, she is decent on a leash, is house trained and crate trained. She was a bit afraid of the neighborhood cats I feed outside my front door and barked once to tell them to go away. Debbie LOVES children and seeks out their attention over adult friends, however, due to her age, we would recommend older or calmer kids. She is good with other dogs including young playful ones, but prefers slow introductions where she can clearly set her expectations, which is that she prefers to co-exist with other dogs and does not like them to be too boisterous in her face. She takes treats very gently and is just the sweetest old lady! We may have fallen in love with her already! 😊 Being older, she does slip and slide on the hard floors so her furever home may have to invest in some extra rugs around the house!

Debbie's personality is coming out more and more now that she is healed from having puppies and settled into the house! She is cool with whatever you want to do, whether that is cuddling and lounging about or going on a walk and patrolling the yard for enemy squirrels! Debbie has even become comfortable enough to start being naughty! Snacks or even lunch left unattended are fair game for miss Debbie! 😊 Every perfect thing has to have one flaw, right??

If you are looking for a friend to keep you company while you garden, stroll around the neighborhood with the kids or enjoy the view from porch, Debbie is it!!

More about this rescue

We are a volunteer-run nonprofit dog rescue in Huntsville, TX. Our organization is named for a rescue Papillon who belonged to the president of the board before passing away in August 2021. Dot and the other heart-dogs we've lost have inspired us to help address the pet-homelessness problem in Texas. Our focus is an adoption program and would like to eventually expand to financial assistance for spaying & neutering in our community.
