Hand Me Down Dobes is the oldest and largest purebred Doberman rescue in Ohio. Since 1994 our mission has remained the same - to rescue, rehabilitate and place Dobes into loving, forever homes.
We follow the Doberman Pinscher Club of America’s Code of Ethics. For more information visit the DPCA at www.dpca.org.









Welcome and please join us as we celebrate three decades of saving Dobermans! Hand Me Down Dobes began as part of the forward thinking rescue “movement” that was gaining speed in the early 1990’s, and since then, our nonprofit charitable organization has placed thousands of dogs into loving, forever homes!

Although we are a large rescue, we provide personal, attentive support throughout the adoption process—and after! From application through adoption—and for the life of the dog—-we are here for you. Viewing many purebred Dobermans on this website will help you narrow down which dog is the best match for you, your family, your home and lifestyle. Our dogs range in age, energy level, training needs and home requirements. We are knowledgeable and experienced with Dobes and the dogs in our rescue, and will assist you in finding the right match for you as well as the dog. At any given time we have several Dobermans awaiting the loving, forever home they deserve. Will it be yours? Learn more about our
