Tom's Story

Tom is a new arrival in late August, 2021 from an animal shelter where he had been left by his owner. The owner said he was "too much" for her energy-wise, and she didn't want him. He was good with medium and large dogs, and with children as young as 5. Though he lived indoors and outdoors with this owner since he was a puppy, she had not housebroken him. Tom's animal shelter felt that he would be better placed by a rescue than by them because he was fearful and stressed. He has never bitten anyone, but insecure dogs need more time to trust their handlers than most shelters are able to provide. Tom was kenneled with a female Doberman mix and got along well with her but we have not had luck kenneling him with any other dogs since her adoption.

Dobie and Little Paws Rescue's Adoption Policy
Please fill out an adoption application and email it to us at dobierescue@earthlink.net You can then make an appointment to meet the dogs that match what you're looking for if we have any appropriate candidates. Male Dobermans are a $300 donation and currently females are $350. Unfortunately we are having a really hard time getting spay appointments and we have to pay more for their surgeries so we have to ask a higher donation to make ends meet. All dogs go home spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and with a collar/ID tag.
