Rescue
We rescue Dobermanns from neglect, abandonment, or dangerous situations, providing immediate safety and care.
We are a volunteer led rescue dedicated to saving and rehoming abandoned and at risk Dobermanns across the UK.
Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome Dobermanns in loving forever homes where they will never again be unwanted, afraid, cold, abused or hungry, while also promoting responsible ownership and raising awareness about the breed.
At DRUE Dobermann Rescue, we are dedicated to saving Dobermanns in need. Every dog deserves a chance at a better life.
We rescue Dobermanns from neglect, abandonment, or dangerous situations, providing immediate safety and care.
Through veterinary care and a nurturing environment, we help them regain health, confidence and trust.
We carefully match each dog with loving families who understand the breed, with ongoing support for a smooth transition.

Adopting a rescue Dobermann means offering a lifetime of care, companionship, and safety to a dog that has already overcome so much.

Storm is a striking young Dobermann with a lot of heart and a lot of energy. She is happy, playful and excitable, loves attention, lights up for a game with a ball, and — like any proper adolescent — has the occasional case of the zoomies.

Lovely Juno has just arrived. She is a Dobermann Rottweiler cross. She is a young, happy, bouncy girl with a lovely nature. She is playful, non-reactive, eager to please and very trainable — the kind of dog who wants to learn and wants to be with you.

Kiki is a loving, affectionate girl who thrives being close to her people. At home she is calm, house-trained, and completely comfortable with everyday noises such as the vacuum and hairdryer. She has never shown aggression towards her current owner or anyone she knows, her food can be taken away without any issue, and she can be left alone without causing damage (though she has a mischievous tendency to steal anything she thinks might be edible!).

Dennis arrived with us from the pound on 12 August after being found as a stray. He was in a dreadful condition: underweight, flea-ridden, suffering from sore skin and hair loss, and understandably frightened. As he came in as a stray, we do not know his age or background, and he is currently entire.

Four-year-old Skye came into our care in January after her previous owner tragically became homeless. While she was initially very frightened, the combination of gentle handling and expert guidance from a brilliant behaviorist has allowed her true personality to begin to shine.
