Story
We are moving overseas for a temporary job and looking to rehome our beloved pup Archie until we return in January 2026. We adopted Archie in 2014 and he's now the most puppy-faced 10-year-old boy you've ever seen (seriously, we still get stopped on the street constantly asking if he's a puppy!). He has been a loyal companion, witnessing our family grow as we married and welcomed two human babies, now ages 6 and 2. Archie is a top-notch snuggler, full of energy on walks, and incredibly patient with little ones. Until very recently he would run his little heart out at the dog park, consistently faster than dogs half his age. Having spent the first year of his life in shelters, however, he does come with some baggage and still experiences separation anxiety. Archie would do best in a home with at least one person home the majority of the time and/or with another dog to keep him company. He is house-trained, but resists the crate. Please consider taking in our special guy!

Story
Tina is a 2 year old, cropped and docked, black and tan female Doberman. She is playful, happy, and energetic. Tina is crate and house trained. She needs a little time to warm up to other dogs but Tina would love to have a canine playmate at home. Tina is looking for an active home with people who are committed to doing training, activities, and brain games daily. Tina LOVES to play fetch. Balls Are Life. Tina loves to chase anything that moves. Squirrels, rabbits, birds, bicyclists and runners are all worthy of being chased. Because of this she may do best with older kids who can be mindful not to incite her to chase. Due to her love of chasing, Tina will not be placed in a home with cats, small mammals, or birds. In general, Tina can be shy when meeting new people. But for folks who are patient she quickly warms into a Velcro Doberman who wants to be in the room with you and snuggle on the couch too. Tina is smart and treat-motivated. She would do well with someone willing to train her and help her work through some of her fears, but that will take time. Tina gets very excited when she sees other dogs while she is on a leash. For now, Tina needs a fenced yard so you can keep neighborhood walks to the minimum and during quiet times. Tina would do best in a suburban or rural home with less pedestrian and canine traffic. She could be a single dog or go to a home with a calm, but playful partner pup, if the humans can commit to slow introductions. Tina has been happily coexisting with a 50-pound senior female dog in her foster home for three weeks. If you think you may be the right fit for Tina please contact us. Tina is fostered in Virginia. DAR&E adopts to MD, VA, DC, DE, eastern parts of WV and southern parts of PA. Please check with other Doberman rescues in areas not listed

Story
Dakota is a very affectionate, gentle, 97 pound, 7-8 year old female Black/tan Doberman with a calm and friendly personality. She is a bit overweight and on a journey to a healthier leaner body. Dakota is a special needs dogs; she had a cancerous mass which was removed. There are currently no signs of cancer but she should be monitored to see if it returns. Dakota greets everyone she meets with a wagging tail and gentle kisses. Dakota is calm and well-mannered. She is content to take naps and relax. If she is left alone she does will whine and pace. She is not destructive but will chew a blanket. Her first day of unrestricted activity was December 9th (post-surgery) so she is just now beginning to take longer walks in the backyard and play with some of her outside toys. She sleeps through the night on her dog bed. Dakota will do best in a new home where someone is home with her. She does well when riding in car. Dakota did spend the Thanksgiving Holiday with another Doberman, Dolly, a 2 year old female. While Dakota’s activity was still restricted at the time she got along well with Dolly. She would be a good companion for an older or more relaxed playmate rather than rough-housing with a young puppy. Dakota is fostered in MD. If you are interested in meeting Dakota, please contact her foster parent. DAR&E adopts to MD, VA, DC, DE, eastern parts of WV and southern parts of PA.

Story
Sheila is a lovable 4-year-old Doberman. We got her during covid, and she helped me through a lot of anxiety that I was experiencing. She is trained on a e-collar and has great recall. She loves going to the dog park and playing with all the dogs. We have another Doberman and a cat in our home, and she does fine with the cat. She should be the only dog in the home as she has jealousy issues and resource guards her food and toys from other dogs. She is incredibly loyal and would make a great addition to your home. She loves to cuddle and loves the beach! Rehoming fee is negotiable

Story
Hi, my name is Fury! But I'm more like a happy, gentle breeze that wants to have fun! You might recognize my name from the famous character Director Nick Fury of the Marvel movies, I'm kinda like him: I love being the center of attention and don't like it when people take my stuff! I am a big dog! With my mixed Doberman Pinscher/Black Labrador genes I am a whopping 52#/lbs and have a ton of energy and muscle that needs to be worked! Because of this it would be best if I was paired with an active family who knows how to keep a dog mentally stimulated and respects my boundaries well. No apartment living for me please! No cats or small children either! My caretakers have learned some important things about me: I am a chow-hound and will try to eat anything I can get my hands on! So please leave food out of reach from me or I'll swoop it all up. Secondly, I would prefer if people didn't grab things that I have in my mouth, it's mine not yours hehe! Overall, I am a big-hearted dog who wants to go play, be adventurous, have fun with other people and dogs! I am however not such a big fan of car rides, they make my tummy feel sick eww! I love all people and dogs, am a healthy, happy boy and just want to find my home. Let's work together and find it!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
It breaks my heart to say this, but due to my busy work schedule, I’m looking for a new home for my sweet dog, Trixie. She has been my companion for 5 wonderful years, and I want what’s best for her. Trixie is a loving and affectionate dog who thrives on attention. She’s food-motivated, attentive, and obedient. However, she’s not comfortable around other dogs, so she’d do best as the only pet in the home. A fenced-in yard would be a bonus, but it’s not a dealbreaker if you can provide her with the love and care she deserves. I want to ensure she goes to a home where she’ll be cherished and happy. If you or someone you know is interested, please reach out.

These pups are in Washington, District of Columbia too!
