Dobes helped from January - March, 2004
Thanks for taking a moment to read about some of the Doberman lives SND has been fortunate enough to help. The links below will take you to the pages that contain pictures and stories about our SNDobes. The stories have been split up into separate pages to make them easy to download (that's good, it means we have helped lots of Dobes!). Please remember to read our Currently In Need page for Dobes that need help now (there are Dobes there that will come to this list when we're done helping them).
Help our future Special Needs Dobermans!

Lilian! March, 2004
Lilian Marie was a senior Dobe owned and loved by Doris Ray of Columbia, SC. Lilian had seen a hard life
until she had the good fortune to meet Doris. She was in bad shape when Doris found her, but Doris lovingly nursed her back to health. Unfortunately,
Doris soon learned that Lili was in kidney failure, but with great care, she continued to flourish in her new home. After several
months had passed, Lilian's kidney problems worsened, and she had to have medication and IV's that
SND was happy to help with. Sadly, after a brief rally, Lilian again took a turn for the worse and Doris made the hard decision
to release her with dignity. You can learn more about her on Lilian's Page. |
| Baker Street! March, 2004
Baker Street was a beautiful 13 year old female Doberman, who lived in Nashville, TN, with her owner, Cheryl
Mc Gee. When SND met Baker, she was thought to be in the early stages of congestive heart failure, and
Cheryl could not afford additional diagnostics to insure that Baker received proper medical attention. SND
was happy to be of assistance, but sadly, the diagnostics revealed cancer, and Baker lost her battle very quickly. Our
deepest condolences go to Cheryl, along with our thanks for the love she showed to Baker throughout her
whole life. You can read more about her on Baker Street's Page. |
| Eeyore! March, 2004 Eeyore
was a two year old Doberman in the foster care of Kathleen Prince in FL when
we first met her. Poor Eeyore has had a hard life, having been estimated to
have been bred 4
times
in her two short years. When she was rescued, she was actually delivering
a litter of pups, while also suffering from Demodectic Mange, ear infections,
eye infections, and a broken toe. Even pregnant, she was over 20 lbs. underweight.
You can read more about her on Eeyore's Page. |
| Logan! March, 2004 Logan
was a pretty 3 year old Dobergirl in Marietta, GA. Recently she was rushed
to the vet for emergency obstruction surgery. She had swallowed a sock.
Logan's vital signs began to plummet, and she required critical care from
her regular vet and also the emergency clinic. Sadly, she did not recover,
and went to the
Bridge on February 20. You can read her full story on Logan's
Page. This pretty girl will be missed by many. You

| Hamlet! March, 2004 Hamlet
was a 6 week old red male in the care of Doberman
Rescue of Colorado when SND first met him. He had a broken leg probably
caused when mama accidentally stepped on him when he was much younger.
An initial
evaluation
showed that
he had a broken tibia fracture that had become distracted (separated)
and twisted. This was considered even more serious since so much time
had
passed. The vet speculated that the leg would have to be wired but that
would be determined once they actually opened the leg. Given Hamlet's
age they expected him to heal quickly and be totally recovered 3 -4
weeks after the surgery. You can read the full story on Hamlet's
Page. |
| Duke! March, 2004 Duke
is a sweet and loving black and rust male in the care of CASA,
a rescue group in Marietta, GA. He was 4
years old and had just come into rescue the day before
Thanksgiving when we learned of him - but his woes were far from over.
When he was liberated, he was very lethargic,
running a high fever, and had great difficulty in walking. Duke has been
treated with antibiotics and his fever is gone. His appetite has returned,
and he is stronger, but is still lame. Duke needs your help to continue
testing and seeking the cause of his lameness. Please read his full story
on Duke's
Page. |
| Titan! March, 2004 Titan
was a 3 year old black male from Pennsylvania when he came to us. He was
hit by a car when he and a neighbor's Pit Bull escaped from their yards.
The
Pit
was
killed
and Titan suffered a broken leg. Titan's owner, Mr. Steele, is retired
and has a very limited income. Your help is needed to see that Titan receives
the surgery that he needs, and can return to being a happy and spoiled
Doberman. You can learn more about
Titan on Titan's Page. |
| Honey! March, 2004 Honey
was a sweetheart of a senior! When we first came to know her, she was a 9 - 10 year old red girl,
and in the care of Doberman
Rescue of Colorado. Honey came to Rescue after being on long term doses
of predisone and with untreated hypothyroidism. She came off the pred and
received medication for thyroid problems -- she regained her body tone and
lost at least 10 lbs. of excess weight. Unfortunately, she was also diagnosed with severe skin
allergies. SND was happy to provide the serum injections that Honey needed to fend off her allergies.
Honey's story is one with lots of twists and turns, but eventually, Honey was adopted by a wonderful
couple, Kristi and Troy. She lived several happy months with them before succoming to lung cancer on
May 22. You can read the rest of her story on Honey's
Page.You can use the PayPal button below if you would like to make a donation in Honey's memory. |

Thunder! |
| Angel
Wings! February, 2004 Angel
was a beautiful red Doberman in the care of Doris Ray, in Columbia, SC. She
has been diagnosed with Wobbler's Disease, and was showing signs of obvious
pain. After being examined, it was determined that the Wobbler's was too advanced,
and that surgery would only prolong her suffering. It was decided that she
should be released with dignity. You can read her full story on Angel's
Page. You may use the PayPal button below if you would like to make a
donation to SND in Angel's memory. |
| Catherine! January, 2004 Catherine
was a 10 - 12 year old female Doberman in the care of Doberman
Rescue of Colorado. She was recently pulled from the Denver shelter where
she spent a week waiting for her family to claim her. No one came, so Chuck
Vaile took her into his program. When he arrived at the shelter, Catherine
had a fever of 105 degrees, and was suffering a severe infection due to bad
teeth! After several days of trying in vain to strengthen her for surgery,
it was decided that she should be released with dignity. You can read her
full story on Catherine's Page. You may use the
PayPal button below if you would like to make a donation to SND in Catherine's
memory. |
| Roscoe! January, 2004 Roscoe
was a seven week old puppy-boy who had the deadly Parvo virus. The family
in New Orleans who owned him contacted SND and he was rushed to a good vet
we know there. Unfortunately, the vets were unable to save this little one.
You can read his full story on Roscoe's Page. If
you would like to remember his too short life with a donation to SND, you

| Doby! January, 2004 Doby
is a very sweet 5 - 6 year old male Doberman. SND was contacted by Doby's
former owner, requesting help for wounds the boy suffered in a dog attack
when he escaped his owner's yard. His SND case worker learned that this was
the 3rd time that the vet had treated him for severe bite wounds, and that
he had nearly died, this time from the wounds and resulting infection. He
is also heartworm positive. We also learned that Doby's owner was in a very
bad situation herself, and it was agreed that Doby should go to rescue with
CASA, in GA. Please read his full story on Doby's Page. |
| Kiowa! January, 2004 Kiowa
is a beautiful 9 year old female Doberman, owned and loved by SND member,
Linda Tuttle. She was recently diagnosed with Wobblers, and because of her
age, a holistic approach has been decided upon for her treatment. Kiowa will
need a series of acupuncture treatments in order to regain her mobility and
control the pain associated with Wobblers. You can read her full story on Kiowa's
Page. |
| Chayane! January, 2004 Chayane
is a sweet young one year old Doberman with a terrifying story of torture
and abuse to tell. She was abducted from her home and severely tortured. Her
family found her at the bottom of a ravine where she was left to die! Chayane
needs treatment for her broken femur and pelvis as well as trauma related
internal injuries to her abdomen. Her family is headed by a single mom, and
they cannot afford Chayane's surgery and treatment, but have been very diligent
in their fundraising efforts. Please read her full story on Chayane's
Page. |
