Doberman Rescue of Nebraska, Inc.

Our criteria to adopt is as follows: 1. Our dogs are placed as “indoor” dogs only. No dogs houses nor dogs on chains are allowed. The dog is not to be left outside when you are not at home. 2. Our dogs are not adopted out to be trained as guard dogs or attack dogs. 3. All dogs are adopted as is. Meaning, if you adopt a dog that has natural ears or a natural tail, you will not be allowed to subject the dog to ear cropping or tail docking. 4. All animals currently in the home must be spayed or neutered. 5. All animals currently in the home are required to be completely up to date on vaccinations and must be maintained on heartworm preventative. 6. A fenced in yard is required. 7. If you do not own your home, your landlord must put in writing his/her permission for you to adopt a Doberman and provide a copy of the insurance policy showing that Dobermans are allowed in the rental unit. This should be submitted at time of application. Many apartments have strict breed and size restrictions. In general we do not place our dogs in apartment complexes but it depends upon the dog. A separate renter’s insurance policy may also be required. The adoption fee vary on individual dogs. This money is used to pay for medical bills and advertising costs. Before you are eligible to adopt, an adoption application must be completed and an internal home check must be performed. If you are approved and adopt a dog from us, a follow up check is performed during the first year.
