DRNM, and any person associated with its adoption efforts, is in no way liable or responsible for any damage, accident or injury resulting from the placement of a dog into my household. I also understand that I will be required to sign an adoption contract to place a dog in my home. I am in full agreement with these terms of adoption.

This questionnaire is for your benefit as well as ours. The information you provide will enable us to better determine exactly what you are looking for in a Doberman, if in fact, a Doberman is the right breed for you, and which Doberman will fit best into your lifestyle. Please be honest in your response and we will be honest in ours. If we do not feel you can provide a proper home for a Doberman, we will tell you why we feel that way. Dobermans are not for everyone. Remember, that this is a lifetime commitment. If you doubt that you can make such a commitment, please stop here. Do not put one of our Dobermans through the trauma of being rejected from yet another home.

We do not sell the dogs available for adoption. A donation fee to adopt one of our Dobermans is $150.00 - $250.00. This helps cover the cost of shots, spay/neuter, microchipping, heartworm testing and other expenses incurred in caring for the dogs. Donations for Senior Dobermans are normally lower.
