Saving Sapphire
This is not the post we were hoping to make tonight, yet here we are.
After going into labor this afternoon Sapphire had to be rushed to the emergency vet.
She started delivering fairly quickly after going into labor and her first two pups were stillborn.
Fearing the worst, we made the decision to have the delivery handled by a vet, not only for Sapphire’s wellbeing, but also for the emotional wellbeing of our foster.
Once at the vet, she was given medication to help move the delivery along. They heard 5 more faint heartbeats so we remained hopeful.
After about 45 minutes, she delivered another pup who was not properly developed and to be euthanized.
We continued to give her more time, but nothing. Her body is tired and while a C-Section is risky, continuing to wait on a natural delivery is more risky.
We DESPERATELY need your help! We had to put down a deposit of $5300 for her surgery. This has nearly emptied our bank account!
Absolutely ANY amount is helpful and greatly appreciated. If you can’t donate, please share, and say some prayers for sweet Sapphire and her amazing foster ❤️

About Us
Sweet Home Doberman Rescue (SHDR) is the only 501c3, not for profit Doberman rescue organization in Alabama. Founded in 2015, SHDR has committed to the rescue, rehabilitation, and placement of abused, abandoned, and/or neglected Dobermans.
It is SHDR's personal mission to assist these magnificent breeds in any way we can.
We are dedicated to educating the public as well as future Doberman owners about these majestic, often misunderstood breeds. They are often portrayed as aggressive dogs who will attack at a moment's notice when in fact they are Velcro dogs who are loyal, protective, and want to please their family! A Doberman wants nothing more than to be by your side and on your couch.
Dog of the Month
Hey there! I’m Watson, a 3-4 year old male Doberman.
Howdy y’all! This rescue life is kinda weird isn’t it? I a BIG Boy from the Carolinas that found myself in need of a new home. Luckily the folks here at SHDR took me in and are helping work on that! I’m basically a big puppy who has finally opened up and really learned how to be a dog. I really like playing with my foster siblings, but since I’m such a big boy, I can overwhelm them sometimes. I would love a home either all to myself or one with dogs as big or bigger than me to play with! I would also love a patient and understanding family who will work with me to overcome my trust issues and anxieties, while also having a confident leadership style that I can learn from.
Watson is a very large and strong fella, he will need a family that is up for his level of energy and power.
