Dobermann Rehoming Associations'
Adoption Procedures

All dogs are up to date with their vaccinations, wormed and will have been seen by a veterinary surgeon. A declaration will be signed at the time of adoption requiring a new owner to spay or neuter.

We are looking for kind, loving, forever homes for our Dobermanns, and in order to achieve this, we need to ask a lot of questions in order to match up the right Dobermann with the prospective new home. It is a large responsibility to ensure that we do what is right for our dogs and for you, as the new owner.

Our dogs come in to rescue for many different reasons, family break-up, being turned out onto the street, mental or physical abuse etc. Many of these dogs suffer problems as a result of this and need to go to a steady home environment that can give them the time they need to adjust and become part of a new family. We therefore do not want our dogs to be placed in homes where they will be left alone for hours upon end.

Taking on a rescue Dobermann is a long-term commitment. Please be sure that all family members are willing and happy to take on another family member.

Should you wish to contact us with regard to adopting one of our Dobermanns, we will discuss your home/work circumstances, family/lifestyle, as well as establish what other pets you live with. After this initial telephone contact, a home visit can be arranged at a mutually convenient time, in order that an Area Officer may visit you at home and ensure that your garden is fully secure, meet all your family and see where the dog is to live and learn further your expectations of the dog.

If the home check passes, you may adopt a dog. We may not have a dog/bitch suitable to your needs at this moment in time, but we will keep in contact with you and alert you to new dogs coming in to rescue that would be suitable to your lifestyle.

We do ask for a minimum donation of £125 from adopter's of our dogs. We do not recieve government funding and struggle to meet our bills. We do rely on donations & sponsorship to meet veterinary bills, food, bedding, bowls, toys, leads and collars, kennel fees etc.
