The Senior Doberman Project

Special Needs Dobermans and the The Doberman Digest recognize the difficulty in placing aging Dobermans in loving homes. Doberman rescue groups have worked tirelessly to save and care for these precious creatures, and we would like to help you find them forever homes. We are working with The Doberman Digest, a national Doberman fancy magazine, to publicize the plight of senior Dobes in addition to creating a national database and website dedicated to senior Dobes in need of families. Special Needs Dobermans will provide the website and Doberman Digest will regularly commit space in their bimonthly magazine to publicizing these senior Dobes’ needs. The Doberman community is truly reaching out to address this crucial cause. Please visit our page at www.doberman911.org/seniors. Find out what's being done to help our senior friends!

  **** Meet the SDP's Senior of the Week!! ****


January 22, 2012 through January 28, 2012

Meet Mr. Buddy!!

Is this love?? I like it!!!!

I also need a sponsor!!

Meet the amazing 8 year-old dober dude Buddy! Until a year ago, Buddy's life had been a misery. Chained to a fallen down dog house in the back yard of a family who didn't feel daily food and fresh water was a priority, he lived with another dog. When rescuers heard of their situation they tried to have the dogs removed from the home for animal cruelty. However, the city felt the owners were just inside the line of adequate care so they would not get involved. One day a rescuer visited only to find Buddy's friend had died on the end of his chain and they were able to remove Buddy. For the first time in his 8 years, Buddy was learning to live indoors, surrounded by good food and loving care from his foster parents. Since he had never been to a vet or received any medical care in his life, he does have some issues that are being taken care of. Buddy is adjusting with gusto to his new home and is now housebroken and happy. Since this it the only home he has ever had where he has been loved, it has been decided that he will remain with his foster family for the rest of his days. To learn more about Buddy visit his page at

You can learn more about Mr. Buddy and many other Seniors who need your support by going to http://www.doberman911.org/seniors/cases. Here you can also help Doberman rescues across the country with their Seniors by sponsoring a Senior Doberman for $30 per month or $360 per year. Our goal is to encourage Rescues to take in more Seniors by helping them with the day to day expenses for routine medical care or just extras like nice comfy beds and toys to make their golden years the best yet. It's a great way to honor the life's of these older Dobermans, many of whom never knew love or care during their younger years.

If you have any questions about Mr. Buddy or any of our other beautiful Seniors, please email us at seniors@doberman911.org. Thank you for your support!!

 

The Senior Medical Assistance Program

Special Needs Dobermans and The Doberman Pinscher Magazine have teamed up to place a special focus on fundraising efforts to assist Senior Dobermans with their medical needs. Having provided a lifetime of love, devotion, and loyalty, these Seniors now find that they are faced with increasing debilitating medical problems. These loving seniors may be with a rescue group and seeking a forever homes or they may be privately owned. Since the financial burden of providing necessary medical treatments is sometimes beyond the means of their caregivers, they have applied to SND for financial assistance. While SND lists Seniors in Need both on our Newest Cases and on our Still In Need, The Doberman Pinscher Magazine helps Seniors by reaching out to the Doberman community by raising funds for the Seniors Medical Fund, devoting space to Senior Health issues and highlighting Seniors in Need.  These are four beautiful Seniors who have benefited from this great program:
