Hi Guys, My nephew is looking to rescue a doberman around durham region / toronto. If you could help out recommending any rescue centres or specific dogs you know of. The only thing is he is looking for a pet, cropped or natural, no show or conformation commitments. Any help is appreciated! Thank you

A place I heard of is Harleywood Doberman & Equine Assistance. They are located in Uxbridge which is north of Whitby so its really close. They have a website where you can see available dobes for adoption. www.harleywood.ca/index.htm

Apollo and Doogan are still showing as available in the Dobereich site. Actually right when i met monica I was looking for a dog around a year old not a pup this time and Doogan back then was a possible.
Have your nephew look at either of those 2 dogs if they are still looking for homes. We know of all the health issues with this breed and I'm saying to avoid heartache and heath issues and associated costs try at 1st to get the best doberman you can get and those boys are 2 awesome dogs with Dobereich lineage and all the best shots at a healthy happy life.
Thought I would mention it.
the Toronto Doberman Meet group from time to time mentions rescues that come up. I'm sure if you google the group and join any rescue info can be found that comes up there.

Jess I spent some time with Apollo last night and when I 1st came to Monica back when looking for a dog, Apollo is EXACTLY what I was looking for, he seems very sweet, boy did he click with me! Doberleans and moaning when I gave him affection, and he's a big strapping black male EXACLTY what was in my mind at the time and if he was there back then he would be my dog now. I would have taken him home on the spot!!!
Andrenia tell your nephew to think long and hard about Apollo. You see what you get, no rolling the dice on health as he's a Dobereich dog with all the health testing and pedigree we all have.

Apollo needs to continue on in a show home is what it says on the site? He is just looking for companionship otherwise I would say go for it!

Wow really? Argus is such a great boy!! I will be the first to say however that he is not experienced enough. His experience level is the same as mine, not too much lol. We are all learning though right?!

Depending in your nephew's level of experience, I have come to grips with the idea of retiring and placing Argus. Really Monica? Aside from being recommended to you as an awesome breeder...Argus was the one of the main reasons why I chose Dobereich. Do you by any chance remember my two friends that came along with me to see you for the first time? Anyways, we saw Argus and we all agreed we wanted a dog just like him. Argus is the dream dog for me….I shouldn’t say is but was….Diesel might get jealous. ;D Fast forward to puppy selection week…my friends kept asking me “Did you pick Argus?,” “Does the pup look like Argus?,” “Is he gonna grow up to be like Argus?” LOL! Andreina is right though...he is awesome!!!

Lol, I know Svetlana, If only my puppy was much older I would take Argus too if I had the experience.
