We follow the Doberman Pinscher Club of America’s Code of Ethics. For more information visit the DPCA at www.dpca.org.
We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who has reached out and offered thoughtful donations concerning the recent Doberman rescue. Your compassion means a great deal to us and the dogs we care for. We understand that some of you may have been waiting for a formal statement from HMDD. We made a conscious decision to refrain from public announcements and fundraising efforts until the dogs were legally and irrevocably placed in our care. This approach, though perhaps slower, was guided by our commitment to ethical stewardship: we believed it was inappropriate to solicit donations for animals that might, due to legal complexities, have needed to be returned.
We can now confirm that HMDD has custody of ten of the Dobermans from that recent rescue. Our team, including the HMDD chairman, a board member, and a dedicated volunteer, was actively present at the Henry County Humane Society on Friday, June 9. HMDD, the only purebred Doberman rescue in Ohio, was called in to help provide direct assistance with the intake process and helped with the initial exams of each dog as they arrived.
Thank you for respecting our process and for your unwavering support. With these beautiful dogs now officially part of the HMDD family, we look forward to sharing their progress and rehabilitation journeys with you.
We thank you for your support.

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! Learn more about us.
Some of the Dobes that come into our care are homeless, lost and never looked for, or just unwanted. Some of them have suffered from abuse and neglect. Others are sorrowfully surrendered because their owners can no longer care for them due to unfortunate family circumstances or major life changes. Less frequent are the dogs that come to us from cruel environments or from disreputable breeders such as puppy mills.
We take the health of our rescued dogs seriously and they receive immediate and thorough veterinary care which includes a wellness exam, vaccinations so the dog is up-to-date on Rabies, DHLPP and Bordetella, as well as a heartworm and fecal test. The dog is treated for any medical issues, spayed or neutered, microchipped and placed on preventatives for heartworms as well as fleas and ticks. Occasionally dogs have more serious health issues where they receive care from a veterinary specialist.
Dobermans form strong bonds with their people even when neglected or mistreated. Aware of the emotional trauma they experience when losing their home, we place all of our rescues into caring foster homes where they receive the love, attention and time needed to emotionally heal before they find their forever home.
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 adoption process.
