Diamond's Story

Doberman Rescue exists because Doberman Pinschers sometimes need a safety net, a place to go to help them move from an unfortunate situation to a Forever Home.  Sometimes, tiny lives that are not completely Dobermans get swept into the maelstrom of circumstances, along with their Doberman mothers.  Over the years some amazing half-Dobermans have blessed the lives of the people who adopted them.  One such dog is Diamond.  She was born in El Paso, her mother a Doberman, and her father an Australian Shepherd. When Diamond and her litter-mates were only a few days old, tragedy struck.  Their owner was cruelly murdered.  Some wonderful people transported the mother dog and her tiny puppies to Fort Worth, where we were able to take them in. 

The author of this piece, Ashley Nied, wrote Diamond's story out in pencil, double spaced, and gave it to us at the 2004 Christmas Party.  Her dog, Diamond makes us all proud, as does Ashley. We think maybe Ashley will be a rescuer herself some day.

We picked Diamond out when she was five weeks old.  I was five years.  We would visit her every Sunday and would take her out in the grass and play with her.  Then we took her to our house.  She crawled under the car.  We got so scared and so we started calling her and she came out!  Time for her first bath.  We put a little water in my play pool and she looked so cute.

Now Diamond is a licking loveable dog.  Diamond is the perfect dog for my family.  She's three and a half now.

I love that dog!
