Surrender a Doberman

We understand how difficult it is to make the decision to surrender your dog, and we know that surrendering your Doberman is surely a last resort. Should you find yourself in this situation you can rest assured that you have come to the right place, and your Doberman will be sheltered by DRU and placed in a safe, comfortable, and loving home.

Since its founding in 1988, Doberman Rescue Unlimited (DRU) has provided rescue services for close to 3,000 dogs throughout the greater New England region and beyond. We are a nonprofit, charitable organization whose purpose is to rescue abused, abandoned and unwanted Dobermans and place them in good, safe and loving homes.
