Creek's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Creek... a gentle giant with a heart that’s been waiting far too long for someone to notice it. Creek is a 3-year-old Great Dane, neutered, fully vaccinated, crate and house trained, and ready to leave his past behind for good. This handsome boy came to us from Louisiana, where a busy household with lots of children, simply didn’t have the time or resources to help him thrive. As a result, Creek is currently underweight and needs to gain about 20–30 pounds to reach a healthy, strong condition. Think of him as a masterpiece still in progress... the structure is there, now he just needs the care to truly shine.<br/><br/>Despite everything, Creek’s spirit is beautifully intact. He’s a big boy in every sense, and like many Great Danes, he can be protective of his space and his people. At times, he can be overly protective, and with a 100+ pound dog coming toward you, that can absolutely be intimidating. And if your a kid, well he can knock them over easily. Because of this, Creek will do best with an experienced owner, ideally someone familiar with Great Danes or other giant breeds, who can provide confident leadership and guidance to help him feel secure and balanced and no children, or older children only.<br/><br/>But beneath that watchful presence is a deeply loyal companion who is just waiting to bond with “his person.” Once you’re in his circle, you’re in for life.<br/><br/>Creek isn’t just a handsome face, he’s got the brains to match. He knows “sit,” “down,” “shake,” and “stay,” and he’s eager to keep learning. He’s the kind of dog who watches you closely, trying to understand, trying to connect... like he’s been waiting for someone to finally show him what home feels like.<br/><br/>One of Creek’s favorite things? Other dogs. He truly enjoys canine companionship and would love a doggy friend in his new home to help keep him entertained and build his confidence. A buddy to romp with, relax with, and remind him that life can be good.<br/><br/>Creek is looking for a home that understands large breeds and will give him the structure, nutrition, and love he’s been missing. In return, you’ll get a devoted guardian, a soulful companion, and a couch-sized shadow who just wants to be near you.<br/><br/>If you’re ready to help Creek write his comeback story... he’s ready to meet you.<br/><br/>Apply to adopt Creek at:<br/>www.uniteddobermanrescue.org United Doberman Rescue Adoption Process<br/><br/>Application Submission: Complete the adoption application thoroughly.

United Doberman Rescue and Canine Castaways of Minnesota's Adoption Policy
Thank you for considering rescue for your next four-legged family member. All potential adopters must fill out an application in order for United Doberman Rescue to thoroughly screen all potential adopters and ensure all dogs go to acceptable and loving homes. After we receive your completed application at www.uniteddobermanrescue.org we will check your references and schedule a time for a volunteer to conduct a home visit. The home visit is not to critique your home, but to see the environment where the dog will live, make the best possible recommendations on the dog that would be the best fit for your home and give us a chance to answer your questions. Upon completion of the home visit and vet reference check, United Doberman Rescue will decide whether or not we can place a Doberman in your home. Please note that we will not place rescue dogs in homes with young children under 6 years of age, unless the dog you are looking to adopt is a puppy and can grow with the children- Small children generally do not have the stress management skills, impulse control or the ability to think abstractly that adults possess. A small child can unintentionally hurt a dog and the consequences can result in injury to the child. If a rescue dog injuries a child it will most likely end the life of the dog. In addition, most rescue dogs have unknown histories so reaction to certain situations is indeterminable. We do prefer a fully fenced yard but will consider homes with no fencing on rare occasions. Please check with your home owners association or home insurance to see if Dobermans are an accepted breed. Some home owners associations and insurance companies do not allow Dobermans in the home. Adopters must be 21 years of age and not living at home with parents. All people residing in home must want to adopt dog. Renters will need to provide name and phone number of landlord to verify that a dog is acceptable in your rental unit. Once the home visit is completed and you are approved, we will begin introducing you to the dogs we have in foster homes. The adoption process involves time and effort, but be patient - we want to ensure that we match you with the right dog. Please stay in close contact with us during this process. Once a match has been made, we will execute the Adoption Contract. All current pets living in the home must be spayed, on heartworm preventative, neutered and fully vaccinated. We will require applicants to provide your vets information to verify this. All adopted dogs must be kept current on vaccines and heart worm preventative. They must reside in the house with their family. All owners must keep United Doberman Rescue current on phone and address information. Animals must be returned to United Doberman Rescue should the new owner be unable to keep them under any circumstance. All pets (cats and dogs) presently residing in the household MUST be spayed or neutered, and up to date on vaccinations including rabies. When filling out the application, please make sure to fill it out fully so as not to delay the process as we can not move forward and adopt if we have incomplete information for adopters.
