Shelter Dogs
This page was last updated on May 02, 2008.

The following shelters have, to the best of our knowledge, Dobermans in their custody that we cannot yet commit to taking, either because we do not have room or because of the location of the shelter.  All shelters have limited space available to hold dogs.  All shelters have more dogs coming in (or trying to come in) than they can find homes for.  Some shelters respond to this by turning dogs away at the door (generally the approach used by the "No-Kill" shelters) while others are forced to euthanize dogs in their custody in order to make room for arriving dogs.  Unless otherwise noted, the shelters below are the kind that must euthanize dogs in order to ensure they can accept new dogs.  So please bear in mind that the dogs listed have only limited time available. If you are interested in adopting, you must move quickly.

If we could, we would bring these dogs into our program at Doberman Rescue of North Texas.  Unfortunately, we also find ourselves running full or nearly full, so we just can't take in all the Dobermans that need to be rescued.  We are listing the ones we can't take here, so maybe they can have a chance at a good life.

We have not seen the dogs listed so they have received no veterinary care from Doberman Rescue of North Texas.  We only know what the shelters have told us about them. We do not charge an adoption fee for these dogs but most shelters do. Under Texas law, you must spay or neuter any dog you adopt from an animal shelter.

All representations hereunder are those of the current custodians and not of Doberman Rescue of North Texas.

If you adopt one of these dogs, please let us know so we can take it off the list, and so we can help you with training or information if you wish. 

If any shelter would like us to list a dog, please have them contact us.


Beaumont, TX - Humane Society of Southeast Texas - http://www.petsforpeople.org/
We have 2 female Dobie mix ( Mom was a full blood Dobie) that are about 1 yr old. They are both red in color. They have been at our shelter for about 90 days and their time is almost up. I am hoping that your group will be able to help us place them. Their names are Hazel and Red. If you can help please contact Tammy at 409-833-0504. They will be spayed and have their rabies before they leave here, This will have to be reimbursed at the rescue rate of 43.00 (spay) and 15 (rv) for each dog. They do not have any major problems, but they would rather play with each other than people. Posted October 18, 2007.
Schertz, TX (San Antonio area) - Schertz Animal Services
Schertz Animal Services currently has a Doberman that they are trying to place. Rufus was found abandoned on a back road in the city with really bad demodectic mange. He has his DHLPP & Bordetella vaccinations, has been dewormed, is heartworm negative, but has not been neutered yet. He is about 5-6 months old. They are treating him with mitaban dips for the mange and he already looks a lot better. Unfortunately they are extremely full and they are trying to place their small and purebred dogs. The pictures are prior to him starting his dips. Contact Lynn Wilson, Schertz Animal Services, 210-658-6607. Posted October 18, 2007.
