"Providing a bridge from despair to hope"

Foster a Doberman

Thank you for your interest in fostering.

Sometimes in rescue, the odds are stacked against us; there are so many beautiful and deserving dogs seeking the shelter of a caring human being. Doberman Assistance Network uses all resources at our disposal to offer that shelter. However, we are greatly outnumbered and on occasion are in need of foster homes to buy us the time to arrange transportation and search out space in approved rescues. Our foster situations are usually short term, a few days to a week.

We are seeking people who can offer a quiet safe haven, a few good meals, and a watchful eye. If you think this is something you may be good at or have experienced already, please fill out our Foster Application.

Please remember these dogs are in transition, some are coming directly from a shelter environment and
house manners may not be the first thing on their minds...
but one thing is certain, they need us.
