My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Who can resist this sweet dobie face? This is Bruce, he came to the shelter and eventually to BDR as a stray. We are estimating him to be around 8 years old.
It would be hard for you to find a sweeter boy, everyone that meets him (including everyone at the vet office) says he is just a doll.
Bruce loves all people and loves his toys. If he was allowed, he would carry a toy around all day. He gets along well with kitties and would do fine with a non dominant dog (prefers the girls!).
Here is the sad part, Bruce's vet suspects he has wobblers or something similar. The only way to truly diagnose is with expensive test that won't really change the course of treatment or outcome. You can tell the way he walks there is an issue but not in his spirit. Bruce believes he can do anything he wants. Short walks around the yard and a comfy place to sleep is what this boys needs.
It's hard to welcome a dobie into your family that you know has a medical issue that will not get better but Bruce deserves a chance to live out his life with a family that adores him as much as he will adore them.

More about this rescue

Bluegrass Doberman Rescue was formed to provide a needed service to the Doberman rescue community based in the state of Kentucky. Although the rescue itself was just formed in 2017, the volunteers behind it have over 10 years of experience in rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming Dobermans. We are committed to helping purebred Dobermans find their forever homes as well as educating the public about this often misunderstood breed. We understand that not everyone can own a Doberman but we are also here to provide support to those who do. We believe this rescue should be a cooperative effort between all volunteers and a collaborative effort between rescues to help this wonderful breed of dogs we all love.
