Velvet is an 8 year old, fawn and rust, cropped and docked female whose owner called with a lengthy list of reasons why he didn't want her… "pees and craps all over the house", "tears up mattresses and blinds and chews on window sills", "gets into trash and pulls food off counters." Our intake person suggested a sample of Velvet's urine be checked by her veterinarian to rule out a medical problem as a possible cause for the never before seen behaviors. She nearly fell off her chair at the man's response: "I don't want to spend any money on her. She's old and I have no use for her." It seems Velvet's owners had recently divorced, and her behavior changes started soon after her "new daddy" moved in. We couldn't get her out of there fast enough!

It took Velvet some time to acclimate to her new surroundings, but a little extra TLC did the trick. She has lived with children, dogs, and cats without issue. Velvet loves to snuggle in her dog bed and be covered with "a toasty" (a blanket right out of the dryer). None of the destructive behavior has been observed here. Velvet has been clean since her urinary tract infection has been addressed. We're thinking Velvet will do just fine in a home where she is fussed over and treated with compassion and respect.

Are you that special someone that Velvet is looking for? Please contact Doberman Rescue Unlimited, Inc. at Doberman@dru.org
