Coventry Dobes

Coventry Dobes fully supports all breed rescue and we do our best to help those we can, Dobes and non-Dobes!  From time to time we may be fostering rescues in our home, gaining the same social experience that we provide to our puppies, and providing those who came from a not so perfect living situation the chance to heal and be evaluated so that they can find their ideal forever home. Although we work closely with and support several rescue organizations some of what we do is through private contacts, owner surrenders or abandonments .  All potential adopters of one of our rescues are required to answer our rescue adoption application/ questionnaire, and upon approval sign an adoption contract as part of our adoption process.

Many of the rescues who come to us are in need of medical care before they can be placed in a forever home.  These costs are met through donations, fundraising, and the generosity of some of our friends in the rescue community as well as a nominal adoption fee.  If you would like to make a donation to help ongoing rescue efforts, we support and have received help from our friends at BAAC, and donations can be made at  http://www.bikersagainstanimalcruelty.org/donate.html  

See Gizmo's story for an example of how BAAC has helped us.

• Coventry Dobes is currently fostering an Amstaff or AmStaff mix we've named Angel, who was rescued from a kill shelter in NC just 1 day before giving birth to her 10 puppies. Her babies have all found their forever homes, and now it's Angel's turn. She was heartworm positive when she came to us, but with BAAC's help we were able to treat her as soon as her pups were weaned and she is now clear of infection. She is very sweet and eager to please, fully housetrained, and great with children.  She is approximately 3 years old, and will be spayed prior to placement.  She seems to do well with other dogs as long as they are not aggressive towards her, and has been fine around cats so far.  She absolutely loves to go for rides, is very playful and always appears to be smiling.  She deserves a home and family of her very own.  If you can open your home and heart to this special girl please contact us at covendobes@yahoo.com or call Karin at 860-416-6083 to meet her.  You will fall in love!

Rescue success: May 2009:Gizmo was surrendered at the veterinary hospital with a severely broken leg. He was a 19 week old puppy who had been chained outside while his owners were at work. They were unable to afford the treatment he desperately needed,and his injury was allowed to remain untreated until it became infected to the point that the leg needed to be removed. We took him in and through the generosity of BAAC who funded his surgery, he received a second chance at happiness in his forever home in NYC.
