Doberman Rescue of Nevada

I have worked closely with the DRNV, and understand that these people in charge have such a great heart, and want what is best for the animal and home interested in adopting. They have had many up for adoption all at once, and always find a great family for their Doberman’s. I have never owned a Doberman, although I was not far from it, there were multiple reasons that unfortunately did not make me the right match.
Overtime, I have witnessed the DRNV rescue and find the perfect fit for over twenty Doberman’s. Their process for finding the right home can be a process, but it is very well worth it. They take the time needed to find a right fit, they help Doberman’s become healthier and do absolutely the impossible for them.
When the time is right, I am hopeful my next dog will be a Doberman, and I will be rescuing from DRNV.

DRNV is a wonderful organization that makes their adoption decisions based on the best interest of the Dobermans. Are they selective? YES! And they should be. They want forever homes, not temporary homes and they want them to live a full life. They will not put them into a home to «test» them to see if 3 males get along or to «see if» they may possibly get ran over by a car by running loose. Their job is to weed out ignorance and I believe they do a wonderful job. I highly recommend DRNV to be one of the best non-​profit organizations for the well being of the Doberman.

I have both fostered a dog for Doberman Rescue of Nevada and adopted one. The application process takes a little time and effort, but the result is meant to be a successful, permanent placement for the animal. Dobermans are large dogs with specific needs and quirks. Acquiring one on a whim can lead to an unhappy household and an endangered animal. DRNV takes their mission seriously. They go above and beyond just finding a needy dog a home. They offer kindness, compassion and complete medical support – no matter how ill the dog. Their involvement with their charges doesn’t end with adoption. A new owner can contact John or Pat Getter for help with issues that crop up during the settling in period or any breed-​related questions.
What it comes down to is that DRNV takes FULL responsibility for the dogs they save. Part of this is finding them the best homes possible. Homes where they will get good care for the rest of their lives. Further, if it doesn’t work out, DRNV takes the dog back and tries again. And again if necessary. For them, no dog is lost cause. This is what makes DRNV special and worth the time (and adoption fee) of anyone looking for their next Doberman love match.

This place is a joke and a waste of time! Step one was filling out a mutiple page application that was longer and included more personal information than my last mortgage application. Then step two was a series of phone interviews with my vet, my parents, my neighbors, and myself. A couple days later I get a very unpersonal e-​mail, rather than a call explaining the I am unexceptable to adopt a dog because I was going to allow the dog to play outside without a leash. I live in a private cul-​de-​sac in a rural part of Clark County consisting of four homes with kids and dogs. Every night all the children play outside together with the dogs (who are not wearing leashes). What a horrible owner I must be. I am sure the dog would be much better off locked up in some little track house backyard or kept in a crate, than living in a home filled with love. Do these people not get the fact that the dogs want to be part of a loving family, and not traded like a commdity. Oh and by the way the adoption fees START at $ 350.00.
