Hand Me Down Dobes, Inc

Since 1994 our mission has remained the same - to rescue, rehabilitate and place Dobermans into loving, forever homes.

To accomplish this goal, our nonprofit rescue depends on support from people like you! Donations allow us to rescue Dobes left with no where to go, and provide the care they need. Our dogs come from animal shelters, humane societies, and owner surrenders. After time in a caring foster home, we carefully place these dogs into approved adoptive homes. We also work to educate the public about the Doberman breed, the importance of spaying and neutering, training, and responsible, humane pet care.

Every adoptable Doberman in our rescue program has been examined by a veterinarian. Our Dobes are vaccinated, tested for heartworms, spayed or neutered, and given any necessary medical care. They are microchipped and placed on preventative for heartworms, fleas and ticks. General observation of behavior is noted during the fostering period before adoption.

Donate to Our Rescue
Donations from generous supporters like you allow us to rescue Dobermans regardless of age or medical condition, saving those that are sick, injured, and/or emaciated. We provide the care these dogs need such as critical life-saving medical treatment, surgery, necessary medications, and time to heal in a caring foster home. We are grateful for your support!
