United Doberman Rescue's and Canine Castaways of Minnesota mission is to help all homeless, abandoned or neglected Dobermans regardless of age or health condition, eliminate suffering to all Dobermans who have been victims of abuse and help them begin the process of healing and finding a permanent forever, loving home through our foster to adopt program. We endeavor to provide breed education to the public and promote responsible pet ownership. All Dobermans that enter our program will be spayed or neutered, vetted and micro-chipped.
All potential adopters must fill out an adoption application. There is a $20 application fee to submit your adoption application. This fee will be applied to the adoption fee upon adoption. Should you decide not to adopt through UDR, or your application is denied, the application fee is non-refundable and will be consider a donation for tax purposes. Applications are not taken and considered on a first come first serve basis, but taken on what is best-fit for our dogs, and of course the adopters' home. We want the best possible fit for our dogs in their new homes, and want adopters happy with their new friend. If we feel your home would better be suited for a different dog, due to activity level, prey drive, or whatever is determined through the interview process, we will make recommendations that would be better suited for both your home and our dogs. You must 21 years of age and living in the home where the dog will reside. If you live with your parents, they must be willing participants of the adoption process and interview. APARTMENTS/RENTERS: If you are renting you must provide your landlords name and phone number so we can verify approval to adopt, no exceptions. Failure to provide this information will result in your application being closed. If found to be convicted of animal abuse, child abuse, or any felony, UDR reserves the right to deny application. If you are unsure, please ask us first. We appreciate full disclosure and will review on a case by case basis. The interview process to adopt starts the moment you contact us. After we receive your completed application, we will arrange for one of our volunteers to do a home visit. The home visit is to ensure a safe environment for the adopted dog and gives us a chance get to know what you are looking for in a dog and for you to ask questions. All individuals residing in the home must be present for the home visit, including children. If you are moving, please apply after you have moved as we must see the home that the dog will be living in. You must provide contact information for your current veterinarian so that we can perform a vet-check. All current pets, cats and dogs, living in the applicants home MUST be spayed or neutered, current on vaccines and on heart worm preventative prior to adopting a rescue dog, unless there is a valid reason why they are not. Exceptions to this rule are: working as a show dogs, working dogs in any field for a champion title, yearly titers done in place of vaccines, or any medical reason. If you chose to not give monthly preventative, vaccinate your dogs, or choose to keep your pets unaltered without a reason, we will deny your application. If you are approved to adopt after the home visit and vet check, we will arrange for you to meet our adoptable dogs in their foster homes. We do not ever ship or transport dogs - you MUST be willing to meet the dogs in-person in their foster home. We reserve the right to discontinue communication at any time and to reject the application should any applicant communicate in a disrespectful, dishonest, or non-productive manner with our volunteers.
