My FIRST FOSTER DOBE: He was surrendered with a lot of tears from a woman whose fiancé gave her an ultimatum. Rhamell is mild-mannered, can't-we-all-just-get-along guy who likes to play, be cuddled, long walks on the beach, and wine (OK, maybe not the wine, it was beginning to sound like a matchup web-date ad).
He gets along great with other dogs, including my high-energy Khaleesi, my Mr. CrankyPants Dexter (who isn't thrilled he's temporarily here). And even my little Cavalier Spaniel.
He'll find a great home thru Pinsch of Heaven Doberman Rescue in Knoxville, but I wanted to share his pic here. This is him just beginning to trust a male, my husband, Kurt. They're buddies now.
Gorgeous Dobe. Would told the BF to take a hike! My DH has always known the pecking order: Dogs, horse, cat (now only dog)! And, we have been married 43 years!
He is such a handsome boy! I know he'll find an awesome forever home who will appreciate him for him. My SO knows better than to give me an ultimatum with my pets, he's tried in the past when I had three mice-yes, I even defend the tiniest of my pets- and we worked out a compromise instead. I pray that she gets out of that abusive relationship. No one who really loves you should make you make that kind of decision.
I totally agree with everyone here! I was shocked when this boy bonded enough with me over the course of just 3 or 4 hours to actually act protective when my husband walked in the door. He bounced up, growled, barked...got close to me. Fabulous instincts.
I just don't understand people. How could you have a boyfriend or husband that gives an ultimatum. Like the saying "Love me, love my dog". What a sad story for her. I'm sure he will be making other demands. Shame on both of them.
Oh heck no. No one comes between me and my dogs... okay maybe my kids, but even then I'd do my best to make it work before even considering rehoming. If husband says dogs have to go, husband goes! LOL
He looks like an awesome boy, thank you for helping him.
I am currently helping a friend who's husband also gave her an ultimatum- your house dogs stay outside or I get rid of them. Now he's given her another- divorce or get rid of the dogs. It's very sad and hard to deal with which is why I make sure animal stuff is all hammered out before I get serious with anyone.
How can people not see that if someone asks you to give up a pet that you love dearly it's the sign of a BAD relationship? She's going to be even more heartbroken when that relationship falls apart later and she's stuck living with the fact that she gave Rhamell up over it...
He is such a handsome guy, thanks for fostering!! I don't get how some people think dogs are disposable; it drives me crazy. My hubby would never make me choose between him or the dogs...prob because he knows I would choose the dogs lol.
I tell you this much, he wouldn't be drooling unless he had a bit of pizza crust that I would finish before giving him! I'm in Virginia and I would name him Samson. Argh, I just want to love on a dobie NOW! It's so hard to be patient.
Darn, I can't click open the pictures, but I can tell he's a handsome dude! What a crying shame. I have to say, and I hope I'm wrong, but the gal will probably really regret this decision for a very long time. I hope this is not an example of what is to come later on down the pike. So sad for Dobie. Here is praying he gets a wonderful, safe, loving home. :thumbsdow
sadly there will always will people who don't value animals as part of the family.
Dax, I laughed at your post.
Me too!!!
My hubby of 16 years says he knows his place.
Dogs and horses are top, then he figures he might be above or below the cat.
Depends how recently they have scratched my furniture.
If their is any way that she can be shipped to Winter Haven, Fl ? If so I will take her or my be meet someone in Northern Florida or ?My email is artwalton1107@yahoo.com Thank you Artwalton
Rescues generally only adopt within a certain radias of their location, such as 100-150 miles. You could probably email the rescue or pm the OP if she doesn't see your post.
