Meet Carli!

I might be petite but I pack lots of love. I was born in late 2006 and I’m black and tan with a docked tail and natural ears. I'm somewhat reserved when we meet but I warm up quickly. I love to give kisses and curl up by the fireplace. I know some basic commands and I'm super smart so I'm sure I can learn more. I'm housebroken and crate trained, up to date on my vaccinations and spayed. I love to meet new dogs and I like cats. I love to run outside even in the snow and ice. I am trying to protect my foster family so I bark when I hear new sounds. Wouldn't life be great with a new dog - adopt ME!

Carli is being fostered in Cedar Grove, NC (between Burlington and Chapel Hill).

Meet Lincoln!

Poor Lincoln has had a rough life before finding his way into our rescue program. He was living as a stray, homeless, due to the lack of love and care that all good dogs deserve. When he was picked up and placed into a shelter, he was dirty, starved, and heartworm positive. Why does this happen to such a good boy? As is so often true of our rescue dogs, we will never know the answer. What we do know is that Lincoln adores the attention of people and truly loves being around them. He has lots of energy but is also quite capable of settling down at his foster mom’s feet for some relaxation while she watches TV or works at her computer. Lincoln loves to play with the female Dobermans in his foster home too.

Lincoln is on the small side – about 65 lbs but has a huge heart. This sweet boy’s body is now healed and his spirit was never broken. We believe he was born during the summer of 2005. He has been treated for his heartworms, has been dewormed for intestinal parasites, is up-to-date on his vaccinations and has been neutered. Lincoln is also crate trained (though he would much rather be with his people) and house trained.

This boy will make an excellent companion for some lucky family. Lincoln is being fostered in Raleigh, NC.

Meet Loki!

We are happy to introduce a real doll named Loki. This beautiful red and tan boy is a March 2008 baby. A clown who loves to play, Loki is a real boisterous, athletic dog. He loves positive obedience training (treats and games) and is very smart. He’s a super-glue Doberman (versus a Velcro Dobie). A very affectionate boy who loves being with his family, he can sometimes get underfoot, and when he’s not underfoot he’s in your lap, if you let him. This is not a dog who will thrive if separated from his people.

He is cautious of strangers but he’s easy to win over. With other dogs he is friendly, loves to play rough. He would do best with a female playmate of a similar size. We strongly recommend that there be no cats in the home and that any children be in their teens.

He is house broken and crate trained. He’s current on vaccinations, he is heartworm negative, and he’s neutered.

Are you looking for an athletic, silly Dobie who only wants to be by your side? Then this may be the boy you’ve been looking for. Loki is being fostered in Rocky Mount, NC.

I've Been Adopted!

Meet Lyla!

Miss Lyla is a lovely, petite black/tan female. Her ears are natural and her tail has been docked. Lyla was born in the spring of 2006. She came to DRNC this summer (2009) with a broken soul and was heartworm positive. However, she has proved to be resilient and is recovering nicely from the heartworm treatment she had in late September. Lyla is a shy girl but is slowly coming around. She gives sweet kisses on your hand, wags her tail constantly, and occasionally gives you the wonderful Dobe grin we all love so much. Whatever her past ordeal, she is blossoming. She gets along GREAT with other dogs, male or female. She is very intrigued by cats and would probably be best placed in a home with no resident felines. Lyla will be a perfect match for an empty-nester family looking to add a Doberman to their home. Although she is warming up to the children in her foster home, loud noises make her nervous. She will be ready for her forever home in early November, 2009. Won’t you open your heart and home to this sweet little girl? Lyla is being fostered in Morrisville, NC.

Meet Sallie!

Sallie was born in June, 2004 and weighs about 65-70 pounds. She is a smart, active girl with all the grace and agility of a deer. She loves people and will do almost anything to please. Sallie is especially good at keeping her yard squirrel-free! She has some basic obedience training and learns new things very quickly. Sallie would make a great competition dog for obedience, agility or flyball. She's no couch potato and would fit best with a person or family who will keep her mind and body exercised. Sallie is not very fond of other dogs (she wants all the attention for herself), but she might get along with a large, calm male dog. Sallie is being fostered in Rocky Mount, NC.
