San Antonio Doberman Advocacy and Rescue

OWNER SURRENDER PROCESS HAS CHANGED

NEW GUIDELINES, NO EXCEPTIONS.  PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY

We are a small rescue and have been in business for 17 years. SADAR can no longer incur any costs to take in and treat dogs. In order to be considered for surrendering your Doberman, we will require the following IN ADVANCE:

An invoice from a veterinarian - dated within the past 9 months - proving "all" of the following care has been taken:   1. An annual exam reflecting no diseases or anomalies;  2. a DHLPP or similar vaccine;  3. A rabies and bordetella vaccine;  4. A negative heart worm and fecal test;  5. Proof of being spayed or neutered.

We will not accept any aggressive animals. If you are requesting to surrender your Doberman, the invoice from the veterinarian stated above "Must Be" attached. SADAR IS NOT UNDER ANY OBLIGATION TO ACCEPT ANY DOG.

THINKING ABOUT ADOPTING?

To All those who are serious about adopting one of our Dobermans, please read our philosophy before contacting us:  

People underestimate the time and effort required to make a successful life with a dog or have little understanding of a dog's world. Your dog needs and deserves your empathy. As in any relationship it takes work and can try your patience. There are no guarantees with any dog. Do you have the time and patience to meet your dog's need for exercise, companionship, and healthy growth? Far too often dogs are victims of unrealistic expectations. Your job isn't to train the dog to live like you, but to train yourself to live with the dog! Remember, dogs are not nearly concerned with what you say, but how you make them feel.

SADAR is a rehabilitation/rescue facility for Dobes that have been abandoned, rejected, and many times abused. We do some work with our guests but we can't do everything. If you are still in doubt whether the Doberman is the right breed for you, go to our Education   link and read more about this magnificent dog.
