Welcome to doberman911.org, the website for Special Needs Dobermans (SND). We are an organization of people with a common goal of helping senior and special needs Dobermans. That need may be financial or it may be only information and/or moral support for the owner of a Doberman with a serious illness or injury. We will also aid in rehoming and fostering senior Dobermans. These Dobermans may be shelter rescues or they may already be much loved companions with a special need. Financial aid may be through donations or through avenues such as online auctions. Every precaution will be taken to assure that the need is real.

Kiki!

June 22, 2010: Meet Miss Kiki, a beautiful 3 1/2 year old happy girl who is fighting to live just as she has taught a very old DobeLady to rediscover her inner puppy. Kiki has been diagnosed with mast cell cancer that threatens her life, but she is not ready to surrender and neither are we. The treatments are expensive, especially for a family fighting to survive in this bad economy. Beautiful Kiki is one of those Dobergirls who crawls into your heart within a minute of meeting. She did the same with her best friend, a 17 year old DobeLady who has been made young again and has very clean ears thanks to this red beauty’s daily grooming session. Working together, they keep their 9 year old “brother” Dobe Scrilla in line. Please visit Kiki's Page to learn more about her needs. Please help in anyway that you can and thanks SO much for your continued support! You can help by sending in a tax-deductible donation online by using the PayPal button to the right, or by mailing one in . Thank you for any assistance you can provide to help with Kiki’s veterinary expenses. Won't you please join Kiki's family and SND in helping with Miss Kiki's expenses? Thank you for any assistance you can give and remember, no amount is ever to small. We thank you so very much for your continued support.

Deeders!

UPDATE - July 1, 2010! Dear Miss Deeders has had her MRI's (cervical and lumbar) and it was found that her cervical injuries are old and not the source of her pain. Her lumbar spine is the culprit with two disks bulging near rupture. She will be reevaluated after a course of pred and the decision to do surgery will take place in another week. Please help us get this beautiful girl pain-free!
May 21, 2010
: Five years old and Miss Deeders was seized in a drug raid! The DEA dumped her at the county shelter along with 2 other adults and 3 pups. Deeder's was called Delores at the pound, the other 2 adults Cocaine (white) and Chrystal (red). We can only guess at the name they had for her (black). Of course RescueAngel Judi from North Coast Doberman Rescue took them in. They were all sick from eating insulation, which really tore their stomachs up. They were emaciated and full of parasites. Deeders (her new love name) is also heartworm positive. "Cocaine" has a bullet lodged in his hip and went through drug withdrawal. Everyone but Deeders has been adopted. Poor Deeders has worsening pain issues. It took a while to find the source of her pain episodes, initially they were rare, but last week she has had 3. During these times she can only stand still and cry pitifully. She is usually your typical stoic dobe so Judi and Teka know the pain must be awful. At these times, Judi can only give her the dreaded Rimadyl, some Tramadol and sit with her... crying herself. Please go to
Deeder's Page to learn the source of her agony and to find out how to help her be pain free. Then, please do whatever you can to help this wonderful Dober-girl! Won't you please join NCDR and SND in helping with Miss Deeder's expenses? Just click on the paypal button on the right to make a donation or by

Dolly!

UPDATE - July 1, 2010! Hello again Miss Dolly!! With her cast off and feeling and looking like a million bucks, Miss Dolly is looking for a Forever Family... DRNV is looking to finish paying off the costs of saving her life and limb! Let's keep them solvent for the next (and there always is a next...) dear Dobe that needs them!
May 5, 2010
: Hello Dolly! Introducing a beautiful and sweet girl whose run of bad luck nearly led to her end. Now, Doberman Rescue of Nevada, which is actively endorsed by the Doberman Pinscher Club of Las Vegas has saved her life and her limb with orthopedic surgery that has her on the long road to recovery from a smashed ankle and other injuries. Doctors believe she probably fell from a vehicle or was hit by a car. Still, she is likely to have a nearly complete recovery, but will need up to 16 weeks of special care and confinement to win the battle. We think she is about two years old and so has many happy years ahead of her thanks to her rescuers. Dolly is now in a foster home facing that long recovery. She is also facing some significant veterinary bills and needs your help. Please check out
Dolly's Page and then please do whatever you can to help this sweet and serving Dober-girl. Won't you please join DRNV andSND in helping with Miss Dolly's medical expenses? Just click on the paypal button on the right to make a donation or you can help by

Hank!

UPDATE - July 1, 2010! Dear Semaphore Chief Hank has had his treatments for heartworm and is completing his recuperation in the loving care of his Foster Mom Ann. He's doing very well and will be missed when he's transferred to his next permanent assignment as Semaphore Chief - what a guy!!
April 28, 2010
:
MEET HANK! This wonderful and beautiful 2-3 year old Doberguy was rescued by the RescueAngels of Northern California Doberman Rescue and he is currently being fostered in Northern California with FosterMom Ann. Hank was living with a family who had adopted him from a shelter, but -- when it was discovered he was heartworm positive, they had to surrender him to Doberman rescue. Heartworm treatment is expensive and very difficult to accommodate for many. Hank is as sweet as can be, and, as you can see from his photos, he's gorgeous, AND goofy-looking at the same time! This guy will be good-to-go after his heartworm treatment, but he needs help paying his vet bills! Please check out Hank's Page to find out more about this grrreat DoberDude. Then, please help today by sending in a tax-deductible donation online by using the PayPal button to the right, or by mailing one in. Thank you for any assistance you can provide to Northern California DR and wonderful Hank, and thanks very much for your continued support!!

UPDATE - July 1, 2010! Dear Cody! He is now a handsome and healthy guy. But, his benefactor's bank account was left very unhealthy by the vet bills - every cent worth it of course! Please consider helping Cody!

Meet Master Cody!! This amazing 9 month old DobeBoy had seemingly overcome a terrible run of bad luck and starvation when he was first taken in by the RescueAngels of Doberman Rescue of Nevada. They then found him a loving home with Eileen and Larry, a couple who absolutely doted over him and began the long task of overcoming the effects of long-term starvation. Despite all the strikes against him, Cody was an apparently very healthy dog, except that he had been hungry for a long time. Despite looking terrible, he was adopted and taken in to his new home when disaster struck and he nearly died with a bout of pneumonia. It was only through aggressive attack on this sudden illness that he is still with us to make anyone he meets share his happiness. But, he and his new family need our, your, help. Please go to Cody's Page and then return to be as generous as possible to support this great boy. Let's help his new family give Master Cody the life we all want for this young DobeKid! You can make a tax-deductible donation by using the PayPal button on the right or mailing a donation in. Thank you for helping! No donation is ever too small! We thank you so very much for your continued support.

Seven year old Cobey is a Prince among Dobermans. Cobey was born at Doberman Rescue Unlimited in Sandown, NH shortly after both his father and very pregnant mother were dumped at the Rescue of the eve of Mother's Day, 2003. Happily, Cobey was adopted when he was 11 weeks old by Terry and her family and he has gone on to become his mother's demo partner as she is a professional trainer. This happy household has recently been turned on it's ear, however, by an event that transpired the first week of this month. While playing Frisbee with Dad, Cobey landed on his front legs and winced. He limped the rest of the evening, and everyone thought perhaps he twisted his wrist. A day later he was better... and then the limp began again. Terry was sitting at her desk, looking at Cobey when she thought she saw some swelling in his pastern. Thinking Cobey may have had a sprain or even a fracture, Cobey's Dad took him to his vet for a check -- then the sky fell on this family. Cobey has osteosarcoma. He had his arm amputated on the 9th and he's recovered nicely. But this family is just now beginning to embark on an expensive odyssey that will include both chemo and follow up physical therapy. Please turn to Cobey's Page and read more about this most extraordinary working gentleman and his journey. Then, won't you please help?

We thank you so very much for your continued support.

Meet very dear 6 years young DobeGuy Taz! Adopted from Florida Doberman Rescue at just 3 months old by Robin and Mike, who have long shared their lives with Dobermans. Robin immediately felt that unmistakable connection with the beautiful jet black puppy. Taz has grown up surrounded with three beloved siblings - two of them Dobes and has lived the life of a much cherished and treasured Prince. He is the Dobe that has brought a glimmer of youth back to his dear 12 year old DobeBrother Meeka and kept his older Sisters Kira & Tory in line. Taz has been the anchor for Robin too when she was faced with losing her job to the recession. Now, suddenly, horror has struck this wonderful family. Within 10 days a happy go lucky Taz went from a limp to a diagnosis of deadly osteosarcoma - one of the worst obscenities in veterinary medicine. Please go to Taz's Page to read more about his journey. Then, please, do what you can to help Taz and his family join this fight to save his life! You can help today by sending in a tax-deductible donation online by using the PayPal button to the right, or by mailing one in. Thank you for any assistance you can provide to help this beautiful DobeGuy... and thanks very much for your continued support!!
