Lone Star Doberman Rescue was formed by a "Doberman Mom" in 2011, who has had Dobermans in her life since she was a young child. She was the proud mom of rescued dog Andy, who passed away in 2012 from obstruction surgery complications; her first Doberman, retired show dog Sable, raised from a 20 week old puppy, who passed away at 10 yrs of age in 2014 from cancer; the love of her life dog Sebastian, raised from a 12 week old puppy, who passed away at almost 13 yrs old in May of 2017 from medication complications after beating pneumonia; and rescued adult blind boy named Ray Charles, rescued/adopted at 4 yrs old in 2012, who passed away at 8.5 yrs old in February of 2017 from complications with kidney disease. Each took a piece of her heart with them & are missed every single day. The newest kids, a sassy red girl named Abbey (6.5 yrs old now) & a total sweetheart, black & tan boy named Goose (4 yrs now) are very loved. Abbey was rescued/adopted in 2014 & Goose was rescued in 2016/adopted 2017. And newest kid, Asher, a fawn & tan puppy who was surrendered to the rescue by his owner when he was just 9 weeks old, he is 22 months old now.
Passionate about all animals, she has been involved in rescue (both all breed dogs and cats) for over 25 years now. When she began a personal endeavor to assist shelter Dobermans, and volunteering with existing Doberman rescue groups, she quickly realized how many beautiful and precious Dobermans were suffering in shelters across Texas; and that existing Doberman rescue operations were all running at full capacity most of the time. This meant that Dobermans were dying in shelters. This sad statistic inspired her to start rescuing Dobermans exclusively, and in her first year alone she personally fostered 39 Dobermans ~ whether it was for a single night, a week, several months...or however long it took until they could be safely placed.
Each dog that comes and goes through the rescue takes a piece of her heart with them as they leave for their fur-ever homes. Lone Star Doberman Rescue continues to fight the good fight in the name of saving Dobermans, and is always in need of your caring, assistance and support. LSDR couldn't possibly do any of this without the amazing network of numerous faithful volunteers and supporters across Texas who do so much to help us evaluate, foster and transport dogs.
