We are an all-volunteer organization of people with a common goal of helping Senior and special needs Doberman Pinschers. That need may be financial for Doberman Rescue Groups, 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 Rescue Groups in rehoming and fostering senior Dobermans they may place under their care. The financial aid we provide may come from donations, occasional online auctions or SND Store sales. Every precaution is taken to assure that the need is real. SND maintains an "every penny" rule which guarantees that 100% of donations to the care of Dobermans is used ONLY for that purpose. Administrative costs are covered with proceeds from our online store, by designated donations and by occasional auctions specifically for that purpose.

The Senior Doberman Project

Special Needs Dobermans recognizes 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 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 Senior Doberman Project provides the website for Rescue Groups for publicizing their 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!

Bonnie & Clyde!!

Just like their namesakes, they want to be together!!

Click our picture above and visit my page!!
And... She'd love Sponsors while she's enjoying life!!

Seven year old Bonnie came to rescue with a black and tan Doberman by the name of Clyde. They were found as strays but someone located a Craigs List ad with their photos by someone else trying to give them away because they couldn’t find Doberman friendly housing. It’s suspected they were just dumped. They are believed to be related but from different litters. Bonnie is a petite red girl who loves all people but can’t be trusted with other dogs or animals except with her brother Clyde. She knows the usual commands but is inconsistent so that’s being worked on. She is learning to wait for her food until she is released. She seems to be a fast learner. Bonnie and Clyde prefer to stay together and if one is out of sight, they will look for each other. They will fight over toys but if those are removed they play well together chasing each other around the house and yard! Visit her here: httpss://doberman911.org/seniors/cases/ky_bonnie.html and then send her some Sponsorship love!!!

You can learn more about Bonnie & Clyde and many other Seniors who need your support by going to httpss://www.doberman911.org/seniors/cases. Here you can also help Doberman rescues across the country with their Seniors by sponsoring a Senior Doberman for $40 per month or $480 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 lives of these older Dobermans, many of whom never knew love or care during their younger years.

If you have any questions about Bonnie 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 has placed 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 in hospice care with their RescueAngels. Since the financial burden of providing necessary medical treatments is sometimes beyond the means of their caregivers, they apply to SND for financial assistance. While SND lists Seniors in Need on our General Fund Page, we must help Seniors by reaching out to the Doberman community by raising funds for the Seniors Medical Fund.  This fund is exclusively for Senior Dobes in the care of Rescue Groups.   Here are four beautiful Seniors who have benefited from this great program:

      
  Rommel                  Sage               Gunther            Magnum
