About

DRM is an all volunteer, non-profit 501(c)3, charitable organization founded in 1999. We are dedicated to finding the best possible home for all Dobermans that come into our adoption program. Be assured that the decisions and recommendations regarding surrendering or adopting a Doberman are based primarily on what is in the best interest of the dog and are guided by many years of experience with this special breed. We care as much about the quality of life for all Dobermans in our program as we do our own dogs. Dobermans in our program are never kenneled and live in private homes with foster families who evaluate the doberman for temperament and behavior traits so we can make recommendations on the best type of home for our dogs.

Adoption process

Step 1: Decide if the Doberman breed is right for you. Step 2: Do you have the time and energy? Dobermans are a working dog, very active and like to stay busy! There are many great things about Dobes; they love to be with their owners 24/7, and they love to play. Dobermans are ultimate companion dogs that like to stay busy! If you do not want a dog to follow you to the end of the earth and back, be in your face all the time and always wanting to play, this is not the dog for you. Step 3: Are you willing to take the time to train? Regardless of the age of the Dobe you adopt training and socializing is a lifelong commitment. If you can not commit do not adopt! Step 4: Complete our online application. Your application will be reviewed and you’ll be contacted to set up an in home interview. All persons living with the new potential Doberman must be present for the home visit with one of our volunteers. After you are approved you will be able to meet our adoptable dogs, not before hand. If you cannot agree to a home visit by one of our volunteers, please do not apply to adopt! Step 5: Please be patient as we are all volunteers. We want you to be excited about adopting a Doberman. Call often to check in and keep us posted on your status. We will give you updates about possible dogs coming in! Please stay in contact with DRM or the designated person you are working with. Know we handle many applications, incoming dogs and could possibly have a lot going on at any one time. Once you are approved and meet our dogs we do have a 24 hour wait period before the actual adoption can take place. These steps are taken to make sure all of our foster dogs will be going to a safe and loving home and the family is confident about the decisions they make when choosing a dog. We do not want adopter’s remorse, although we will at any time take back our dogs, days, weeks, months and even years later. We are 100% committed to all our Dobermans in our adoption program for the life of the dog. Step 6: If you are now committed to our policy and procedures and can provide these basics, please proceed and fill out the application!
