Nellie's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Nellie! We think Nellie is around 4-6 years old—quite a bit younger than the shelter originally estimated. Apparently, even shelters can get a lady's age wrong!<br/><br/>This gorgeous blue Doberman has the classic cropped ears and docked tail that make people stop and admire her. But Nellie's real beauty comes from her sweet, expressive eyes and her loving personality.<br/><br/>When Nellie first came into rescue, she had some hair thinning and patchy hair loss. Typical with blue Dobermans but her hair is getting thicker! She's feeling so much better these days, although she may always need a little extra skin care and a sweater collection, such a Diva! She was also heartworm positive when she arrived in January, but she has successfully completed her treatment, thanks to some loving rescue angels who footed her entire vet bill with the best specialist in the USA, they even did a full cardio work up on Nellie who has been found clear of any kind of heart issues! This girl has been given a clean bill of health by the best doctors a dog could ever want. She's healthy, happy, and finally ready to find the forever home she's been waiting for.<br/><br/>Nellie is incredibly smart and absolutely loves training. She enjoys learning new things, thrives on attention, and forms deep bonds with her people. She's affectionate, loyal, and happiest when she's spending time with her favorite humans.<br/><br/>Now, let's talk about Nellie's one little request... She has informed us (quite clearly, we might add) that she'd really prefer to be the Queen of Her Castle. While she can be selective about other dogs, she has absolutely no doubts about people—they're her favorite! She'd love a home where she can soak up all the attention, supervise the household, and keep a watchful eye on her kingdom from a securely fenced yard. Neighborhood squirrels have been put on notice. Oh and no cats please.<br/><br/>Poor Nellie has been patiently waiting in rescue far longer than she should have. Frankly, she's starting to wonder if she's accidentally become part of the office furniture. Every day she checks the schedule, wondering when her family is finally going to show up. She's beginning to suspect everyone thinks she's on the management team. We are going to have to start giving her a paycheck if she doesn't find her family soon!<br/><br/>Nellie promises to be your loyal shadow, your faithful protector, your walking buddy, your couch companion, and your biggest fan. In return, she asks for belly rubs, a comfy bed, plenty of love, treats and the official title of Chief Executive Doberman of your household.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a loyal best friend with a wonderful sense of humor, a gentle soul, and just the right amount of royal attitude, Nellie is ready to rule your heart.<br/><br/>Please! Don't make Her Majesty wait any longer. She has a kingdom to run—and she's hoping it's yours. ❤ï ̧<br/><br/>Go on over to our website at www.uniteddobermanrescue.org and read our adoption requirements.

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.
