SOS! Does anyone in the Edmonton area have space for this girl, even temporarily, as of 2 pm tomorrow? She’s been snappy with her current foster’s dog and has to be moved after her vet appointment tomorrow at 2 pm. Even if someone can rotate her for now, as her behavior might be a pain response due to her condition, but the rescue needs her to be in a home to figure out her needs and hasn’t been able to find a foster on such short notice. Not even close to a Doberman, I know, but this rescue helps a lot of dogs who really need it, so if you can help them, please let me know or shoot them a message directly.

🐾 Adopt Dante! 🐾

🐶 Please note, we do not ship dogs sight unseen, and all dogs must meet before an adoption can be approved.

🎂 Age: ~ 2 years

🏡 Location: Edmonton, AB

🐾 Personality: Dante is a playful boy who knows basic commands and is very food motivated. He needs clear boundaries and a knowledgeable adopter to continue his training.

🐾 Likes: He enjoys playing fetch, playing tug of war, puzzle toys, and running at the dog park.

🐾 Dislikes: Although Dante wants to be with his people at all times, he isn’t a cuddler. He does not like being left alone and although crate trained, he can be a bit vocal when left unattended. He should not be left uncrated if left alone. Dante can be protective of his home and needs a slow, calm and controlled introduction to visitors, even if they have met him before. He can be a bit unsure of new people upon initial meeting and can take a few minutes to warm up.

🏡 Ideal Home: The ideal family does not have small children as he is a large dog who plays rough. He needs regular exercise and mental stimulation to make sure he doesn’t become destructive.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family: Other pets in the home are okay, but best if it is confident female dog. He has previously lived with cats.

🐶 Health: No known issues.

🌟 Adoption Fee: $500

Dante has been neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. All adopters must agree not to use any punitive training methods.

Apply to adopt Dante by submitting our adoption application at https://adoptadobe.com/adoption-application/. All adoptions require a home visit and meet and greet prior to finalization.

🎃 These two jokers (foster-to-adoptee, Macey, and foster-bro-superstar, Calyx) want to wish you a Happy Halloween and share some important Halloween safety tips! 🎃

👻 If you dress up your dog, make sure their costume doesn’t restrict movement, breathing, or vision (LET’S SEE THOSE COSTUMES!)
👻 Keep candy and wrappers away from your dog (chocolate, raisins, and xylitol are some toxic foods to be aware of)
👻 Walk your dog before trick or treating starts — your dog is safest at home during the festivities
👻 Prevent an accidental escape by setting your dog up in a quiet and secure area away from the door, turn on a TV or radio, and give them a chew toy or puzzle feeder to keep them occupied and calm
👻 Make sure your dog’s ID is up to date, like their microchip and license information
👻 Remember that although Halloween might be fun for humans, it can be scary and stressful for our dogs — always watch for signs of stress and respect your dog (and other people’s dogs as well) when they ask for space!

🎉 Cooper Has Been Adopted! 🎉

From months in boarding to finally finding peace and purpose, our beloved Cooper (now affectionately called Copper by his dad!) has officially been adopted by the person who opened his home, heart, and life to him when he needed it most.

What began as a foster placement quickly turned into a beautiful bond. Copper is thriving: happy, relaxed, and finally living the life every dog deserves. After being failed by humans again and again, this boy has found his person who understands him, respects his needs, and is committed to his continued care.

We are also beyond grateful to Copper’s dad for making the largest donation our rescue has ever received, ensuring we can continue to help dogs like Copper who need time, patience, and a chance to heal.

Copper’s story is one of resilience, community support, and the power of saying “yes” to a dog who needed someone to believe in him. Thank you to everyone who donated, shared his posts, transported him, contributed to his boarding, and refused to give up on him. And to Copper’s new dad, thank you for seeing the dog he could be, not just the challenges in front of him.

Welcome home, Copper. Your journey touched so many hearts, and today it brings us tremendous joy to see you home where you belong. This is what rescue is all about.

STEELE UPDATE!

When 11-year-old Steele came into our care, we knew right away that this distinguished gentleman had a story to tell. Through fate, we were able to reconnect him with his previous owner, who hadn’t seen him in nearly eight years.

When she lost Steele all those years ago, her heart was shattered. Shortly after, she also lost her other Doberman, Joey (who was bonded to Steele), to cancer. She couldn’t bring herself to welcome another Doberman into her life — the pain was just too great. But sometimes, life has a beautiful way of mending what was broken.

After almost a decade apart, Steele is back where he belongs. He will spend his golden years surrounded by love (and a few adorable Pug siblings!) with the person who always held a place for him in her heart.

This story is a bittersweet reminder of how life can bring us full circle in the most unexpected way and that love never really fades, it just waits for the right moment to find its way home again.

Yesterday we welcomed 11-year old Steele to the Adopt-a-Dobe family. 🥰
