We’d Love to Help You Keep your Dobie

Here are some possible alternatives to issues you may be facing:

Lack of needed training/Behavioral Issues

Dobermans need a job, and continued training. DHDR recommends these trainers. In some instances, certain trainers are able to provide discounted services to those avoiding surrender.

Challenges with Puppies

A qualified, positive trainer can be a great way to get a handle on an unruly Doberman puppy. If you can not make it work, surrender to DHDR as opposed to listing online or giving the puppy to a friend.

New baby

Planning and training before the baby is born will definitely help. Reach out to our trainers. Never leave a child unattended with a dog, and if you are looking to determine if you can repair the relationship between your dog and your child, we strongly recommend Pet Behavior Solutions listed on our trainer page.

Dog/dog or dog/cat aggression

Often times, training can be very helpful in resolving dog/dog aggression in the household, and should be pursued. If the issues are of sudden onset, it is important to see a vet to rule out any health factors. A dog-aggressive dog can spend months to years in foster before being adopted, so be sure to do as much as you can before trying to surrender to rescue.

Family financial hardship, eviction, home loss

Sadly, personal financial distress is the hardest problem to solve. We know it can happen despite your best efforts and that it can be very hard to fix.  If you really are at the end of your rope financially, and when our resources permit, we will accept your dog and find him or her a wonderful forever home. Before that, please explore the following resources:
