About Our Rescue

Doberman Underground began with just 5 volunteers and a dream to save Dobermans in need. Today, we’re over 150 strong, spread across four states, with a shared passion for rescue.

Our defining moment came early with the rescue of 116 Dobermans from South Carolina. That experience cemented our belief in what we could achieve together. As we grew, we embraced not just Dobermans but all dogs in need, coining the term "Nobermans" and living by the motto "Rescue first, breed second."

In 2018, we met Roo, a two-legged Doberman puppy who taught us that no challenge is too great. His story inspired the creation of our Phoenix Program for special-needs dogs, and soon after, we launched Seniors Owning Seniors (SOS) to match senior dogs with senior humans.

Now, 10 years and 750 adoptions later, we’ve grown stronger and more committed, with two impactful programs and countless lives changed. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.

Tonight I lay my tired head
Upon a cozy, loving bed.
No concrete floor, no fear, no cold,
Just gentle hands for paws to hold.

The house is quiet, soft, and deep,
And for the first time… I can sleep.

No wondering where my next meal’s near,
No lonely nights filled up with fear.
Just blankets warm and hearts that care,
And bedtime kisses everywhere.

Chase, our 6 year old foster dog, has found such comfort with this little kids and sleeps soundly tonight dreaming of his own forever family.

To apply for Chase or to consider fostering please go to www.dudobes.org

A foster home may not be forever,
But it’s where broken hearts are pieced together.
And as I dream the whole night through,
I know tonight… I’m safe because of you. 🐾💕
