My story

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

Adoption fee: $400



Physical appearance: Jolene is a 16 month old red and rust female Doberman with natural ears and a docked tail. She is average size for a Doberman, weighing in at  60lbs.



Personality: Jolene is a sweet but intense Doberman.  When she looks at you, she looks straight into your soul. She’s a smart girl and a fast learner but we've seen some challenging behavioral quirks that require a very specific and experienced hime. She has displayed resource guarding tendencies with food, toys, and sometimes the space around her. Some of this way be nerves of being in a new place, but it's still behavior that potential adopters need to be aware of. She is also very vocal and will growl even in play. Because of the resource guarding, she would do best as an only dog so she doesn't feel like she's competing for anything and absolutely no children of any age. Cats are fine though as she ignores the ones in her foster home.



Why she’s in rescue: Jolene was surrendered to animal control by her family after nipping a small child in the home. She was alone with the child and no one saw what happened, but because of this we will not home Jolene to a home with children of any age.



Manners and training: Jolene has no manners and needs a lot of work. She will jump up and drag you around on a leash. She does seem to know how to sit, but thats the extent of her training. On the bright side, she is a fast learner and has great focus. So long as you can get past her stubborn streak, she should be a breeze to train.



Vetting: All our dogs are brought up to date on rabies, Bordetella, and combo, negative for intestinal parasites and heartworms, spayed and microchipped before adoption.

All of our pets are kept in foster comes across Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina. If you would like to meet one of our pets, we require an adoption application be submitted and a home check be completed so we can be respectful of our fosters time.

More about this rescue

Georgia Doberman Rescue is a non profit, volunteer organization, dedicated to rescuing and re-homing abandoned or homeless Doberman Pinschers from shelters or owners who have surrendered them. By working with volunteers, foster homes, veterinarians and trainers, we are able to place these dogs in loving temporary homes for assessment and rehabilitation, and then into carefully screened forever homes. We are an educational resource for the Doberman owner, and provide information on responsible pet ownership, good nutrition, positive behavioral training and the importance of spaying and neutering pets.
