Dante
Dante's StoryDante is a 7 month old all natural neutered Doberman. His owner discovered some serious allergies and so sadly has to place him for rehoming.
- He is potty trained.
- He needs some leash training, but has had training while waiting for a home.
- He is not fully crate-trained yet; however, he is making progress.He is being trained by his foster at this time. She has found him to be eager to learn, loves training, and to have limitless energy. Such a happy boy!
Cats are unknown and small children can be tough for a young male to be careful around.

Cheyenne's Story:
This 4 year old, spayed, chunky, friendly girl could use a bit more activity in her life. Her elderly owner was diagnosed with dementia. We have learned that her world was somewhat small because of that and now she’s seen what life can really be like at her foster home. She loves to play, especially with teenagers. She’s done well with other dogs but no cats. Her ideal home would be someone active or older children that like to play.

a large yard to explore and soak up the sun
someone to reinforce training
perhaps a younger rough playing dog (male maybe)
consistency and routine
perhaps not so many new home visitors unless new owner wants to work on that
Luna's Story
Luna is a three year old pup who joined our home in April 2023. After months of training and consistency, Luna has become a more adjusted Doberman pup. She is extremely intelligent and learns very quickly. She’s had training and one-on-one time, but she would like to be in a home with less unexpected activity.
Luna initially had separation anxiety that has since resolved with consistency and predictability in her routines. She has come a long way from that time and does well in her crate during work hours.
She will do well in a home with a large yard where she can explore and enjoy the sun. She often roams in our home and yard to find the sun and soak in the warmth. She loves going to doggy daycare where she plays with her friends. She is protective of me and my child and patrols our home, identifying new people and alerting us to anyone new. However, if a person is familiar, she will gladly approach them and initiate affection. She is very hesitant around new people and does not like anyone approaching us when we are out. If she is introduced to someone, she takes minutes to hours to become comfortable, sit next to them, and cuddle. Once she meets someone, she does not forget them. This behavior has been consistent since we first got her from the rescue. I think her timid nature does not lend itself to a home with frequent visitors, unless that is a specific training a new owner is eager to work on.
Luna often travels with us when she can and when my attention can be directed toward her. She does well in the back of the car and has joined us on camping trips, hikes, and even in coffee shops. She does well on walks and does not bark when around other animals on her leash. She has gone to farms to be exposed to other animals and is gentle with them. She plays with our 13 year old female Doberman, but she is too rough and dominant for her and will knock her to the ground. As our Doberman ages, I feel like it would be unfair to continue to expose her to rough play.
Luna is a typical Dobie with the need for physical contact, and she loves her people. She is still very much a puppy, and I anticipate that she will mellow out around the 3 year mark. Despite the challenges with Luna, this decision is very difficult for us. However, we think someone else may meet Luna’s needs more fully or in a way that compliments Luna's personality. I have been hesitant to reach out to find her a new home, as I want to find her a patient, affectionate, and consistent dog owner.

How To Adopt
Rescue FAQs
What is the Utah Doberman Rescue?
The UDR, a division of the Salt Lake Doberman Pinscher Club, consists of volunteers who are dedicated to finding quality homes for needy Dobermans. We place an average of 100 dogs each year.
Are There Any Fees To Adopt Through Rescue?
The Doberman Rescue pays for all expenses related to each dog in our care. This includes a veterinary exam, vaccinations, spaying or neutering, micro-chipping, treating for worms, and heartworm testing. It also includes boarding where necessary as well as the upkeep of the dogs in foster situations. Obviously this is very expensive and any help is greatly appreciated. We ask that new owners donate $250 to the Utah Doberman Rescue so that we can partially cover some of these costs.
What area do we serve?
Most of our Dobermans come from the Salt Lake City and Ogden areas, but we accept dogs from much of the intermountain region, including Wyoming, Idaho, and southern Utah.
What is required to adopt?
Prospective owners must fill out an adoption application and agree to abide by the terms of our adoption contract. We are looking for stable, loving, permanent homes with adequately fenced yards for our Dobermans. Dobermans do not have enough coat, nor the disposition, to be kept as an outdoor dog. They must be house dogs and must never, ever be chained as a way of confinement. They love their people and want to be with you constantly.
Will an adult Doberman adjust to an new family?
Dobermans are extremely people oriented. They were bred to be a companion and protector of man. As a rule, they bond very quickly with their new family members because they crave human contact so much. Often dogs from the worst backgrounds, those who have been abused and neglected, are the most loving. They truly appreciate the attention and security given to them and with time and proper care and respect become completely devoted to their new owners.
How can I help?
Volunteers are needed to work with the shelters, especially in areas at a distance from the Salt Lake Area, to exercise the dogs who are being boarded, and to help with fund-raising. Good foster homes are always needed. If you can't volunteer, donations are gratefully accepted. You can use the link provided below.
