If you are interested in adopting a Doberman from us please fill out our adoption application as the first step in the adoption process.  We will process your application and discuss it with you.  Almost every Sunday we hold an open house. After you have submitted an application we invite you to come and meet the dogs.  Please Note: In order to fund the substantial veterinary care we provide for our dogs we ask for a $175 donation for adult Dobermans with natural ears, $300 for adults with cropped ears, and $350 for purebred puppies. (Note: A Doberman is a puppy until it reaches one year in age)

You should also check our shelter page and referral page for additional dogs looking for homes.  Note that the dogs on the shelter page have only a limited time before they are put to sleep so you must move quickly if you would like one of them.

All adoptions are on a first come, first served basis.

We only adopt to people who have completed an application and have been approved.  If we have not had time to review your application before you come to Open House, we will not pull dogs out of their runs to show you. You are welcome to stay and visit, but we have a limited number of volunteers and need to focus on the people who are approved to adopt and on caring for the dogs.

SMILIN' JACK  

Smilin' Jack is a one-year-old pit mix. We pulled him from Fort Worth Animal Control because he has a amazing non-stop smile (although he didn't smile while we had him on leash for pictures). [OK. We fell in love with him]. He is very affectionate and gets excited when people play with him. He likes other dogs. He should be fed alone because he was starved and now can be possessive of food. He is crate trained. Julie wants you to know that he will cling to you the same way he was clinging to his pen in the shelter in the two pictures of him smiling. Smilin' Jack was rescued on October 26, 2007. We really love this little guy.  He is always thrilled to have dog and people friends.  He gets busy doing things like walking to the other side of the living room to get a favorite toy.  If you call him, he looks up quickly, gives you a quick grin, and if you are not calling him to make him come, carries on with his important search for a toy. He's a small dog, much smaller than a Doberman. But his heart is huge.
