A lot of them get dumped by people who bought a Dobermann pup and then were shocked and surprised when it later acted like an adult Dobermann.
Sometimes they get dumped when the backyard breeder genetic problems crop up and the owners don’t care enough to spend the money to help the dogs.
They’re not a dog for everybody, I confess.
There are tons of Dobe rescue leagues and PetFinder always has pages of them.
You’d have shoot me dead to take mine.
Heck, it was heartbreak enough when I let my rehabbed rescues go to their new families, even though I knew they’d have gloriously happy lives.
Me?
An animal lover?
What gives you *that* crazy idea?

Lol, Sal “Ellie May” Amander :D
My old lab just loves the cement pond.
Of course you are right that no breed is exempt from abandonment. I only speak from personal experience. Although I can’t think of a breed or cross breed that hasn’t landed at my place, I have yet to open the door and find a Dobe looking for a hand out. Hmmm...maybe I should rephrase that?
(Just kidding,I would be less apprehensive of a Dobe than I would of some of the smaller breeds.)
