​     Lone Star Doberman Rescue was formed by a "Doberman Mom" in 2011, who has had Dobermans in her life since she was a young child. At the time, she was the proud mom to retired show dog Sable and her heart dog Sebastian. She later added Andy, rescued in 2011, then blind rescue Ray Charles in 2012. Eventually adding rescue Abbey in 2014, and her current rescue kids Goose in 2016 and Asher in 2018.  All pictured below.

Passionate about all animals, she has been involved in rescue (both all breed dogs and cats) for over 30 years now. When she began a personal endeavor to assist shelter Dobermans, and volunteering with existing Doberman rescue groups, she quickly realized  how many beautiful and  precious Dobermans  were  suffering in shelters  across Texas; and that existing Doberman rescue operations were all running at full capacity most of the time. This meant that Dobermans were dying in shelters. This sad statistic inspired her to start rescuing Dobermans exclusively, and in her first  year alone  she personally  fostered 39 Dobermans ~ whether it was for a single night, a week, several months...or however long it took until they could be safely placed.  Over time, she eventually fostered over 200 Dobermans in her own home and each one took a piece of her heart with them when they got adopted.

Today, LSDR operates as a large team of dedicated volunteers who are committed to doing the hard work of fostering, transporting, fundraising and everything else that is involved in making sure the program foster dogs have all they need in both their foster homes and their forever homes.
