Referral Dogs
The following dogs are available from their owners or custodians. We have not seen them so they have received no veterinary care from Doberman Rescue of North Texas. We only
know what the owners have told us about them. We do not charge an adoption fee for these dogs and we insist the owners do not sell them. They are to be adopted for free unless they
are at a rescue or similar agency, in which case there may be an adoption fee.
All representations hereunder are those of the current custodians and not of Doberman Rescue of North Texas.
If you adopt one of these dogs, please let us know so we can take it off the list, and so we can help you with training or information, if you wish.
Abby
Abby is a 2-year-old red female with
natural ears - wearing black collar in picture. She is having to be placed
because her owners adopted 3 littermates from the shelter and can't
handle/afford three Dobermans (see Rosie below for other littermate being
placed). Her owner says....When we got Abby at about three months old, her
right rear leg had been broken and had already healed. She does favor that leg
from time to time. The vet said that's was something they see when their leg is
caught in a chain maybe from one of the parents. When she plays with her litter
mates she runs with them and wrestles with them and you would never suspect
there was anything different about her leg but its fairly easy to see that the
joint is not the same as her other rear leg and her foot hasn’t developed the
same as her other rear leg. When we first got her, the doctor examined her and
said that it had healed already and had good range of movement and doubted that
he could do much better with surgery. Her two litter mates will very often both
nip at her to the point where she will yip and many times she doesn’t want to go
out with them in the back yard unless I go with. They seem to gang up on her
quite a bit and will nip her until she yelps. We recently boarded them to attend
a funeral out of town and Abby came home favoring her right rear leg a lot
sometimes skipping along on three legs. She was afraid and very shy when we got
her She's still very afraid and jumpy but she's better. Having the other two go
after her doesn't help her at all and it seems to me unprovoked. She will
paw at you when she's playing with you. She hasn’t been exposed to any cats and
probably should be with larger children and would love to be the center of
attention in a one dog family. She loves to curl up with you if you sit on the
floor with her. Please contact Fred if you can adopt Abby:

Rosie
Rosie is a 2-year-old red female Doberman.
Rosie still has food issues
and will guard her toys as well from the other two dogs, so she needs to be fed
separately. She also likes to trim my shrubs in the back yard and chew up
the pieces. I have found rocks in her poop too from time to time. She loves to
grab paper from a waste basket or paper towels and chew them up and swallow
them. She is extremely affectionate and will walk up and put her head on your
leg or arm and wait to get petted and she will walk up and lean against you to
get your attention. She loves to curl up between your legs if you sit on the
floor and will fall asleep with her head resting on your leg. She will lie on
your feet if you're sitting in a chair. The dogs spent 6 months living
with a 6 year old, a 4 year old and two teenagers and were good with children.
I don't leave them unattended very long in the house yet as they have been known
to get a magazine or a pillow off the couch and tear into it but not much
lately. Rosie & Abby are housebroken and will rarely have an accident in the
house but it has happened. They will sit with a verbal and hand command.
They both have a microchip which was placed when they were spayed. They
are current with all of their shots. Please contact Fred if you can adopt

Zara

Zara is a 5-year-old fawn female Doberman with cropped ears.
She is a very sweet dog, a wonderful
companion and is obedient and well trained (sit, stay, heel, etc).
Her vaccinations are current and she is current on heartworm preventative.
Her owners have a new baby and are placing her because they are concerned about
how she would react to the baby.
She loves to go on long walks. Zara has a
history of being dog aggressive to one small dog. While she is good with
adult humans and large animals, she should not be around children or small
animals. Please contact
Melinda if you can adopt Zara: 469-258-3827 or email Andrew or Melinda at
