Welcome to doberman911.org, the website for Special Needs Dobermans (SND). We are an organization of people with a common goal of helping senior and special needs Dobermans. That need may be financial or it may be only information and/or moral support for the owner of a Doberman with a serious illness or injury. We will also aid in rehoming and fostering senior Dobermans. These Dobermans may be shelter rescues or they may already be much loved companions with a special need. Financial aid may be through donations or through avenues such as online auctions. Every precaution will be taken to assure that the need is real.

| Phoenix! |
February 3, 2012: This sweet boy is probably 2 to 3 hellish years old. No name, no hope, no chance! He was a "supposed" stray turned in to a sure-kill Kentucky shelter. With the first stroke of luck in his life, someone called the Doberman Assistance Network. DAN carried him (literally, he was that close to death) to the loving arms of Forever Dobes Rescue in Ohio. He was taken directly to the vet who rated his body condition at 9 on a scale of 1 to 10. He was emaciated, dehydrated and covered with wounds of varying severity and age. His left fore leg was horrendously swollen. Rather than broken, the leg proved to be terribly abcessed from what appeared to be puncture wounds. Whipworms, hookworms, roundworms in plenty, but, amazingly - no heartworms! When offered his first bites of food, they found he is blind also. He has no eye reflex at all. Teka Clark and Forever Dobes Rescue have joined with SND to try to give this special boy a chance at the good life he's always deserved. Please go to Mister Phoenix's page to read more of his story in Teka's own words. Please consider helping Phoenix in any way you can! You can start by making a tax deductible donation by using the Pay Pal Button on the right or by mailing one in. No amount is ever too small, and as always, our RescueAngels and we at SND appreciate your continued support of our SNDobies!! THANKS!! |

| Diesel! |
February 2, 2012: Young Diesel, at 3 1/2 is a lovely, handsome and in many ways typical Doberman male adolescent. He possesses all the traits that we love in our young Dobermans - he's smart, happy, energetic, fast... and sneaky. This last characteristic has landed this sweet boy in some very serious hot water! Not once, but three times. Diesel has gotten into the habit of eating inedible objects, and this last incident was his most serious brush with death yet, requiring two emergency surgeries and a long list of medications to ensure his recovery. Dumped in Tennessee, rescued by Distinguished Doberman RescueAngels, adopted by a loving family... and after depleting their resources with emergencies involving his predeliction - he was once again rescued by DDRI to receive 2 addition emergency surgeries to save his life. Please click the link to his page to read the frightening story of Diesel's ordeals here on Mister Diesel's page. Please help us help DDRI RescueAngels the help they need to give this boy the life he deserves! You can do this by making a tax deductible donation by using the Pay Pal Button on the right or by mailing one in. No amount is ever too small, and as always, DDRI and we at SND appreciate your continued support of our SNDobies!! Thank you!! |

| Jacob! |
January 16, 2012: YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE THIS BOY!!! His name is Jacob, he is a little over a year old and weighs around 60 pounds. Jacob is a beautiful boy inside as well as outside. He was rescued by the kind folks at Minnesota Doberman Rescue after as awful a beginning as a DobeKid should ever have. Jacob suffers from a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia which causes him some balance problems, but this is not the most pressing problem at the moment. He has a tibial tuberosity and needs surgery to repair a ligament in his knee. FosterMom Diane knows that exersize helps his balance issues but he is limited by the pain it causes in his knee. TPLO will fix this issue but of course this surgery is very expensive and the RescueAngels at MDR and SND are asking for your help in keeping Jacob happy and pain free! To read more about Jacob and his needs please go to Master Jacob's Page to learn more about this wonderful boy, and please do whatever you can to help give this boy the life he deserves - that every DobeKid deserves! You can do this by making e a tax deductible donation by using the Pay Pal Button on the right or by mailing one in.

January 14, 2012: Meet Miss Noelle - At 7 years old and at the mercy of society's worst droppings, Miss Noelle was at death's door, dying of starvation. WHO COULD DO THIS??? Are they in the same species as we are? There is NO EXCUSE for this barbarism. We may not be able to punish these dregs, but we can try our hardest to save Miss Noelle's life. Saved initially by the Doberman Assistance Network (DAN) and then taken into the loving care of RescueAngels at Doberman Rescue of North Carolina, Miss Noelle's fortunes have taken a magnificent turn for the better! The road back from this kind of disastrous physical abuse is long... and expensive - but this is where YOU put your OUTRAGE where the PayPal button is!! HELP US HELP Miss Noelle!! At this writing, there are hundreds of people across the country who know now Noelle. Her story is told on her Face Book page, established by her amazing foster parents, Leslie and Mike. However, for those of you who have not made her acquaintance, be forewarned and brace yourself - Noelle was all but dead when the angels from DAN pulled her from the shelter. Please go to Miss Noelle's page for more of her story. You can help DRNC keep funding this mission of mercy for Miss Noelle - she is worth every cent!

| Bella! |
December 31, 2011: Sad, little Bella is 3 or 4 years old. She did have a home once, but her young owner couldn't cope with Bella's problems. Luckily she made it from the shelter to the angels at South West Ohio Doberman Rescue. She has a couple problems most of us experienced doberites (doberists?) wouldn't blink at; she was incontinent and has a very sensitive tummy. Getting her on the right food and Proin seemed to do the trick; until she started "fly-biting". With young children in the home, this was bad news for the foster family. They already loved her and did a bunch of research. Turned out her Proin dosage needed some fine tuning and once again life was good. Until Bella's funny little waddle turned into a limp. Which got worse instead of better and was diagnosed as ACL damage. Bella needed surgery--2 CCL repairs. SWODR doesn't fool around and the surgery was performed asap. Please go to Miss Bella's for more of her story. Please consider donating to this Doberman in need, she has so much life still to live. You can help SWODR recoup some expenses so they can continue their mission of rescuing Dobes by making a tax deductible donation by using the PayPal button to the right or by mailing one in. No amount is ever too small, and as always, we at SND appreciate your continued support of our SNDobies!! |

| Harriet! |
December 26, 2011: Meet Miss Harriet! At approximately one year old, she is a sweet and adorable DoberGirl, with a story that is frustrating and sad for those who love doggies, and especially our beloved Dobermans. This little DobeGirl suffered needlessly while she sat in a "shelter" with a broken leg for NINETEEN days. She received NO pain medication during her ordeal. How can this happen? To add insult to injury, the shelter was aware of a Doberman Rescue organization nearby - Dobies and Little Paws Rescue, and yet did not contact them. This INEXCUSABLE negligence? cruelty? abuse? - cost this young lady her leg!! Thanks to the RescueAngels, Harriet is now in a foster home, receiving what all dogs should: TLC. They saved her life but not her limb at great financial expense. To read Harriet's story, click on Miss Harriet's page. You can help this innocent and loving girl by making a tax deductible donation--use the PayPal button to the right--or by mail one in. No amount is ever too small, and as always, we at SND appreciate your continued support of our Dobes-in-Need! |

| Levi! |
November 27, 2011: Cuteness, thy name is Levi! At 4 months old, this young dog suffered a femur fracture, and was unceremoniously deposited at a shelter in Southern California on October 8, 2011. He was brought in as a "stray, " and therefore had to remain in the shelter for the required time, awaiting, hopefully, an owner. Upon his release and with the help of Dobies and Little Paws Rescue, Levi was taken immediately to a Pet Clinic, where his leg was x-rayed and re-cast. He was lucky to find a foster home, but his story has a few more twists and turns! For the rest of the Tail, click on Mr. Levi's Page. You can help this sweet little guy by making a tax deductible donation--use the Pay Pal button to the right--or by mailing one in.. No amount is ever too small, and every donated cent will go to help this Dobe-in-Need. SND is forever grateful for your kindness and generosity! |

| Wolfy! |
November 27, 2011: At roughly 1 year of age, poor Wolfy was hit by a car and brought to a shelter in Southern California, where he was entered into the shelter system as a "stray." This sweet guy had to languish in pain and endure the required shelter hold time before he could be released and rescued to get the medical attention he so needed. Wolfy's story has a happy ending, because he was adopted by a loving family with another Doberman tripod! Wolfy looks just fab in his new digs, but the Doberman Pinscher and Little Paws RescueAngels, already hurting due to the financial landscape these days, now has a hefty medical bill to settle. To read more about this sweet and goofy Red Dude, click on Mr. Wolfy's Page. You can help Mr. Wolfy pay his bills by making a tax deductible donation--use the PayPal button to the right--or by mailing one in. No amount is ever too small, and SND always appreciates your continued support of our Dobes-in-Need! |
