Who We Are

Nice to meet you!

We are a 100% volunteer team of 200+ Doberman lovers, veterinarians, dog trainers, foster caregivers, dog walkers, shelter aides, administrators, and adopters who devote our time and resources to save Dobermans and support humans.

We range in age, and we come in all shapes, sizes, and a variety of ethnicities. We don’t discriminate on the basis of age, ethnicity, gender identification, race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or sex. We stay focused on our mission. We don’t talk rescue politics in any sense, and have built a culture that encourages kind, direct conversations and no infighting, or back-channeling. We understand that we are all unique with varied perspectives, yet if we don’t support each other, we will place our mission at risk. We love to support other Doberman organizations that share our values and operate using compatible procedures. With us, it really is all about the dogs and the people.

We are governed by a Board of Directors who set policy and establish procedures for our volunteer staff. In addition, we are assisted by consultants and advisors to the Board who share executive-level experience in veterinary focus, behavior, rescue operations, and fundraising.
