A LITTLE ABOUT UNITED DOBERMAN RESCUE AND CANINE CASTAWAYS OF MN:
We believe that the need to rescue exists not only on a local basis, but more broadly across the United States. Our goal is to help Dobermans, Doberman mixes and even other breeds (as requested) locally in Minnesota, and also in extended geographies where local groups may not be able to help. Since the creation of our Doberman adoption program in December 2016, we have taken in dogs from 24 states and even internationally from other countries. On occasion we will take in non-Dobermans, thus the added name Canine Castaways, originated in 2004. We have adopted an amazing 587 animals since 2017! Of course, most are Doberman but we do not discriminate and have helped Doberman mixes, other breeds from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, cats and kittens, and even an iguana!
The Doberman can be a misunderstood breed, so we also strive to provide breed education to the public by participating in community events with our adoptable dogs to show how wonderful and people-loving the Doberman breed truly is.
We are 501C3 non-profit, home foster rescue, a 100% volunteer-based program, meaning we do not have a shelter, and our rescued dogs live with families, learning and being loved as one of our own dogs, until they are adopted. Potential adopters are carefully screened through application and home visits to ensure our dogs end up in loving homes.
Animals in our program are vetted, altered, placed on monthly preventatives, and micro-chipped prior to adoption. Even as a rescue vet care is costly. This year we have seen vet care skyrocket which ultimately affects our bottom line in who we can care for financially. Your donations are so important right now to help us help these homeless animals.
WHERE YOUR DONATIONS GO:
We are at 45 adoptions and 52 new intakes so far in 2024. More dogs bring more expenses and at a record cost of vet care we need your help! Despite many dogs being unvetted or needing specialty care, we will take them in without hesitation. No matter the amount of their vet bills, our adoption fee for them does not change.

RESCUE PARTNERSHIPS, TRANSPORTATION AND BOARDING COST
We have always placed the highest value on the lives of homeless dogs, regardless of where they come from. Often, we work with rescues across the country to bring these dogs to Minnesota, ensuring they have a chance at a safe and happy future. While we’re fortunate to be able to network with other groups to help these animals, transporting dogs over long distances and covering other rescue expenses can be costly. At times, we don't have enough foster homes available, and in those situations, we make the tough decision to board dogs in safe facilities. While boarding is an additional expense, we believe it’s a necessary investment to save a life and ensure every dog receives the care they deserve. Your support helps cover these costs, allowing us to continue our life-saving work.

EXTRAORDINARY MEDICAL EXPENSES
Athena arrived at our rescue and just 2 days later gave birth to two beautiful pups - a red and a black little girl. Sadly, Momma Athena fell horribly ill and developed pneumonia to the extent she had to be transferred to emergency critical care. She thankfully pulled through, but it left her pups motherless at just 8 days old since her milk dried up from illness. The pups immediately needed bottles, formula, heating pads, and other supplies for their round-the-clock care. A few days later the little black pup also fell ill and was in the ICU for days. She thankfully has also survived despite being under 2 weeks old. Over $11,400 has been spent already on this family's vet bills, emergency oxygen, antibiotics, and needed supplies. Your donation today ensures we can do EVERYTHING possible to save these dogs - take a look at this sweet family - they are worth it!
TRANSFORMATIONS
Your donations help heal our program dogs inside and out!
Hanzel the lab mix arrived oh so skinny and afraid of the world. We enrolled Hanzel in doggy daycare to boost his confidence, and he blossomed to health and good spirits.
Charlie the Doberman was rescued with a horrific wound from a collar that had grown into his neck. Today Charlie is happy, healthy and looking for his Furever home!
