| The reality of rescue . . . | |
 |
No matter how hard we try, it is never possible to save every Doberman in need. Time, space, funding and volunteers are always in short supply. Unfortunately, Dobermans in need of assistance are not. |
Statistics show that 20% of all Dobermans produced end up in rescue. This statistic was compiled by Doberman rescue groups and does NOT include the thousands that are euthanized or placed by Animal Control facilities across the U.S.
Here are some harsh realities of rescue. (All statistics were compiled using dogs rescued by Gulf Coast Doberman Rescue) Of the dogs rescued; 53% are MALE 47% are FEMALE 52% are CROPPED 48% are UNCROPPED 61% are from SHELTERS 39% are surrendered by their OWNERS 48%* are Heartworm POSITIVE *(puppies were not included in this figure) 82% are UNALTERED (All were altered by us before placement) 51% are BLACK 28% are RED 17% are BLUE 4% are FAWN or ALBINO The average age of a dog is: 2 years old. The average time a dog spends in our care is: 92 days The average cost of rehabilitating a rescued Doberman is: $438.00 |
The bottom line.... RESPONSIBILITY. Please spay and neuter your pets. |
