Thanks for visiting!
Whether you are looking to adopt a dog, looking to help out,
or merely looking for more information on the breed, this site should answer most of your questions; if not, please feel free to contact us directly.
Foster homes are
urgently needed!
We are faced with the reality of having to turn away Dobermans and we desperately need your help. There are dogs we cannot help because we simply do not have enough foster homes.
Before you decide that fostering isn't for you PLEASE take a moment and check
out our Spring Newsletter,
it contains facts about fostering you may not have realized and testimonials
from those of us that do foster. And if you still have questions please contact
us at 614-470-2851 or send an email to
HMDDAdoptions@yahoo.com and we will be glad to address any questions or
concerns you may have. Fostering is a rewarding experience and a chance to make
a difference to one of these wonderful Dobies and the people who adopt them.
