Maeve's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Maeve<br/><br/>At just 2.5 years old, Maeve has already been through more than any dog should have to endure. Originally rescued from an illegal Amish breeding facility, Maeve was taken to the ARL, where she received basic vaccines and care. Since then, she has spent much of her young life being bounced from one home to another. Despite everything she has experienced, Maeve still wants nothing more than to find her person and finally have the safe, loving home she deserves.<br/><br/>Maeve is an incredibly special girl who is wonderful with humans and eager to bond with her people. Once she trusts you, she wants to be close, loved, and included. She is an absolute cuddle bug who will happily curl up next to you all night long. She also loves car rides and will often sleep for much of the trip. Maeve is a wonderful house companion, sleeping peacefully from around 9–10 PM until 8 AM, and she enjoys being outside, especially walking on leash and relaxing in the grass.<br/><br/>She already knows several basic commands, including sit, lay down, shake, stay, wait, and come here/here. She is also very polite on leash and genuinely enjoys her walks and time outdoors. She has so much love to give, and we truly believe the right person is going to become her whole world.<br/><br/>Because of Maeve's past, she does have some very real trauma that her future family will need to understand. While at the breeding facility, she was involved in a fight with her kennel mate, leaving scars on her legs, face, and ears. This experience also resulted in significant kennel trauma. Maeve will attempt to chew or eat her way out of a kennel, so a traditional kennel may not be an appropriate management tool for her. She will need a family willing to work with her history rather than expecting her to simply "get over it."<br/><br/>Maeve can also struggle with other animals and needs a home that understands her boundaries and gives her plenty of time to decompress. Maeve is a hard NO on cats. When it comes to dogs, she may be able to live with a confident, dog-savvy companion who understands canine communication, respects her space, and won't rush her into friendship. Any introductions will need to be thoughtful and allow Maeve to build trust at her own pace.<br/><br/>We also do not currently know how Maeve feels about children, so a home without children may be the best fit unless and until her comfort level around them can be properly evaluated.<br/><br/>After everything Maeve has been through, she deserves the chance to finally put down her roots and simply be someone's beloved girl. She has already survived so much. Now, she deserves to know what it feels like to be safe, cherished, and home.<br/><br/>Could you be the safe place she's been waiting for?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.
