All rescued Dobermans are up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, spayed/neutered, and evaluated to the best of our ability before placement. We attempt to evaluate their temperaments and work on basic obedience and manners. We attempt to place each Doberman into the most well suited home based on the individual dog. We consider the dog's reaction to other dogs, cats, and children.
We do not require a fenced yard but its is very much preferred for not only the dogs exercise but also for safety reasons.

We will NOT place an un-altered dog period! Do not ask for any reason! We do not have spay/neuter contracts, regardless of age. The pet population is so far out of control we take all possible measures to work against this problem. We have every single dog spayed/neutered prior to placement.

We strongly recommend that new owners use a monthly wormer that includes heartworm protection. We have had rescue dogs that were heartworm positive and it is not only very serious and dangerous also treatment is very expensive.

DRI and its volunteers are very compassionate and serious about our dogs and our rescue. This is our life! We take adoptions very seriously and expect all prospective adopters to do the same. Our only *payment* is knowing we helped a homeless Doberman find its forever home. We want our dogs to go to only the best homes where they will be loved and well taken care of FOREVER. Please consider your present and future family plans before even considering adoption.

All applicants MUST first complete an adoption application, agree to a home visit, and comply with our adoption contract that we strongly enforce. We want to make sure each adoption is a positive match. Adopters are also required to keep in touch with DRI post adoption for the life of the dog.  Our standard adoption fee for an adult Purebred Doberman is $250. Special Needs, Seniors, Dobe/Mixes, and "other" Breeds are generally less. Purebred Doberman Puppies 1 year and under are $300. Our adoption fee helps our expenses we have such as spaying/neutering, HW testing, vaccinations, worming if needed, transportation, food, pull fees from shelters, etc, etc. Often times the adoption fee only covers a mere portion of our expenses.

***After completing an adoption application and submitting it please contact us via email or phone to make sure we have recieved it properly if you have not heard from us within 24 hrs.

If the adoption does not work out for any reason, the adoptive home is required to contact Doberman Rescue Inc. and return the Doberman to DRI! NO EXCEPTIONS!

We are a Doberman Pinscher Rescue Organization. We are a nonprofit group that relies solely on donations and fund-raising activities for its income.
