Hello all, I am hoping that I have come to the right place for help here. I am in a bad situation with a female doberman that I just bought/rescued out of a bad situation this week. 2yr old female was a one owner pet, and the owner remarried 3 months ago and as soon as her new husband moved in he kicked duchess out in the cold. She was on a short chain for 2 1/2 months before I got her, she was filthy, her nails were almost an inch long, and the bottom side of her neck was rubbed raw from a big thick collar she had on the whole time, probably pulling at the chain constantly, trying to get free. This girl is beautiful, spayed, microchipped, AKC registrable, housebroken, and very docile but last night I was making a sandwich, myself, my husband, my son, and duchess were all in the kitchen and I dropped a piece of baby spinach on the floor. My 18 month old son is a big helper and he went to pick up the baby spinach and duchess slammed him to the ground and held him there with her snout growling at him. My husband and I are now afraid to keep her. I babysit a small child, and Duchess jumps over the gate that I have. I need to find her a good home, and everyone that has shown interest in my local area wants her as an outdoor dog. NOT HAPPENING, period. I rescued her from that situation, and I know from personal experience with my mother's doberman that they can't regulate their body temps well enough to be outside. I live in a very small house, and although I could sequester her to a back bedroom while my son is awake, that is no life for a dog. I am afraid to even let my son play in the same room as her now, even though that was the only time we have ever had an issue. She sits for her food, and I can grab her bowl in the middle of her meal with no problem, so I am just lost here. I need advice on what to do, or help finding a good (experienced) doberman lover to adopt her. I have all of her paperwork, and I would only ask to be reimbursed what I paid for her (less than most shelter fees, but I don't know if I'm allowed to post a dollar amount on this forum) She is a beautiful dog, but I don't want to live in fear of this happening again...
