 | That's a fairly huge subject. 
Why not tell us a little about yourself, your dog experience, your rescue experience, prelim plans for this rescue, etc?
Then folks can better be able to give you suggestions.

 | I'd suggest talking to the rescue folks in your region, and also join DAN (Doberman Assistance Network) and get to know a lot of people who are active in and/or knowledgeable about rescue. This is a long process, you have to cultivate contacts all over the place - shelters, animal control, breeders, other rescues, etc. You have to have some sort of credentials that people will respect and feel secure and safe about - and you are going to want to look into becoming a 501c3 tax exempt organization. There's a lot to know and to think about - but as has been said - you will get more help from people once they get to know you better. You'd be amazed how many crackpots and trolls come on this forum...
