Story
Meet Alara, a bright eyed, black and tan, female Doberman with natural ears and a docked tail. She is approximately one year old and weighs 55 pounds. Alara is a lover and adores having her ears and shoulders massaged. She loves resting her head in your hand or on your leg. Alara entered foster care with DAR&E in early February. She knows “sit” and has been working on crate training and the cues “wait/release”, “laydown”, and “leave it”. She’s very treat motivated, and has been doing great with training. Alara loves her crate, thinking of it as a big treat dispenser, and often going in by herself to take a nap. Currently she’s been practicing with shorter periods of time in her crate. It will be a while longer before she can be left for hours every day. Around the house she’s fairly independent in playing with toys and trotting around. Outside, she adores walks and walking around the yard. Overall she doesn’t seem to mind the chilly temperatures and navigates walking on the snow/icy spots well. As a young pup, daily exercise is very important. She's a bit nervous at the vet and around new things, showing her nervousness with barking. She responds well and is able to reset and settle in a short amount of time. Alara will require an adopter with prior Doberman or working dog experience, and someone, providing structure in her life and exposing her to things little by little. She will also need someone who has experience with younger dogs, providing appropriate chews and toys and understanding puppyish behavior. In Alara’s first several days, she reacted to new noises by barking. She’d bark when the heating unit came on or the refrigerator came on and would also bark at external noises. We started calmly saying the word “noisy” and have seen a huge difference in Alara’s composure, and also her ability to bark a little and then settle. Both when she’s relaxed and after she’s been a bit worked up we’ve been saying “you’re fine”. This has really been helping with her being more relaxed, her ability to fairly quickly calm after getting worked up, and her need for human connection. She will need an adopter’s continuing help with desensitization and also gradually and slowly seeing a dog at a distance and determining her level of comfort. Alara is a sweet, loving girl who hasn’t had the best start in life. She will thrive with a kind, patient person. Alara is being fostered in Maryland and would love to meet you!

Story
Meet Lincoln, a big (approximately 85 pounds), lovable Doberman puppy with a personality and a heart that’s just as big as he is! He's an 11-month-old blue male Doberman with cropped ears and a docked tail. Due to his age, Lincoln requires a fully-fenced yard. Lincoln is a sweetheart who enjoys attention and companionship, but he’s also happy to entertain himself with toys or a good bone when you’re busy. He loves being outside, and one of his favorite activities is chasing the Jolly Ball around the yard. Like most young Dobermans, Lincoln has energy and curiosity, and he’ll thrive with a family that enjoys being active and including their dog in daily life. Lincoln is house-trained and crate-trained. When it’s time to relax, Lincoln settles nicely in his crate when unsupervised. He is learning the routine of home life. He sleeps through the night in his crate. Lincoln walks nicely on leash with an Easy Walk harness and already knows “sit,” “paw,” and “crate.” He’s learning not to hop up when greeting new people, and is enrolled in training with his foster. He barks excitedly at other dogs on leash. He is attending doggy daycare and enjoys socializing with other dogs off leash in a controlled environment. Because he’s still a young Doberman, Lincoln will do best with a family that will provide regular mental and physical exercise and continue building on his training. Lincoln is a friendly, young Doberman who is ready to grow up with a family that will give him structure, activity, and plenty of love. In return, he’ll give you loyal companionship and probably plenty of enthusiastic Jolly Ball games. Lincoln 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
Meet Sebastian, an 8 month old, all natural, red, male Doberman. Sebastian is a sweet, playful puppy who loves people and does great with other dogs. He hasn’t been around cats yet, so we’re unsure how he’d do with them. He’s a cuddler at heart and happy to chew a Nylabone beside you or curl up in a little donut next to you on the couch. He walks nicely on a leash and is doing well with his house-training routine. With consistency, he goes outside on schedule after meals and continues to make great progress. Sebastian is gentle, responsive, and eager to please. He has good recall with “come,” knows “sit” and “paw,” and is currently learning “down” and “leave it.” He’s at the perfect age for continued socialization and building lifelong positive habits. He would thrive in a loving home ready to continue guiding him into the amazing dog he’s already becoming. Sebastian is fostered in Maryland. 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
Meet Grace and Willow, a bonded pair of female Dobermans whose connection is as beautiful as their names. They are currently receiving the medical care they need and are expected to be ready for their forever home around March. We are looking for a forever home where Grace and Willow can stay together and settle into the life they deserve. Grace and Willow are fostered in Virginia. Grace is an absolute sweetheart. She is approximately 4 years old, and she is quite calm for a young Doberman. Grace is blue with cropped ears and a docked tail. She loves a good chase outside, a fun walk and lots of toys. She would do great in a quiet household with her buddy Willow. She was a little timid and unsure of her surroundings when first rescued. Through patience, love and the support of her friend Willow, Grace has really come out of her shell! She gets excited at meal times, can't wait to play outside and loves to play with her toys! She is also a big fan of football Sunday naps on the couch. She is not crate trained, but does okay in a puppy-proof room with Willow when her foster parents go out. Grace is a sock thief! She is good with cats and other female dogs. She also lives with a 16 year old, small, female dog, 1 female cat and 1 male cat in her foster home. At this time, she is unknown with male dogs and children, as she has not had the opportunity to be introduced to either while in her foster home. At first, she is very excited when introduced to new animals. She does pull on the leash and is doing well with leash training. Willow is the definition of velcro dog. She is either next to her human, or her buddy Grace. As with most Dobermans, she thinks she is a lap dog and requires pets 24/7. She has not gotten the love she needed in the past, but she makes sure she gets it now! Willow is approximately 7 years old and does require a slower paced household. She has arthritis, spondylosis and hip dysplasia. Her bones may be old, but she does not let that slow her spirit. She likes to run around with her friend Grace, just not as fast and that's okay! She loves a short game of fetch with her favorite squeaky tennis ball. Willow is red with cropped ears and a docked tail. She has eyes that can melt anyone’s heart. Once you get that puppy dog look from Willow, you're hooked! Like Grace, she was also timid when first rescued. She needed to be close to someone all the time and seemed very nervous about her surroundings. She still likes to be close to people but has grown strong and brave! Willow is not crate trained, but her foster parents see no need for a crate. No destructive behaviors have been observed. She is a mild leash puller. She requires a slow feeder bowl (which will come with her) because she eats very fast. Willow is good with cats and other dogs. She also lives with a 16 year old, small, female dog, 1 female cat and 1 male cat in her foster home. Willow is unknown with male dogs and unknown with children, as she has not had the opportunity to be introduced to either while in her foster home. 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
Alice became a member of our family when she was only 8 weeks old. She has been a phenomenal pet, who has gotten along with both of her older dog siblings, and now a 2 and 3 year old human sibling! She is definitely one of those dogs who doesn’t realize how big she is, because at 75 pounds she still thinks she is a lap dog! She can be a bit clumsy at times, stepping on our feet as she walks by, but has never exhibited an ounce of aggression toward our family. Our toddlers have hand fed her, and shared toys with her, without a single incident. She does bark when someone is at the door, but not incessantly, and responds to being told “that’s enough” very well. My wife prefers the mild barking as it makes her and the kids feel safer when they are home alone. Alice is an active dog, and will do best in a home that can take her on walks twice a day. It breaks our heart to give her up, but we look forward to her continued happiness is a new home!
