Established in 1988, Doberman Rescue Unlimited, Inc. (DRU) is a nonprofit, charitable organization whose purpose is to rescue abused, abandoned and unwanted Dobermans and other domestic animals, and place them in good, safe and loving homes. We also educate the public about Dobermans and responsible, humane animal care. Since its founding, DRU has provided rescue services for close to 3,000 dogs throughout the greater New England region and beyond. On average we usually have 30+ dogs in our care.
The DRU shelter has been the refuge and sanctuary for thousands of Dobermans since it was built over 20 years ago. Young and old, sick and well, none are turned away. We have taken in Dobermans in need from our primary service area of New England and New York/New Jersey, and also from many other areas of the United States; we’ve even taken in Dobes from places like Egypt, Kuwait, Puerto Rico, and Mexico.
DRU is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation that relies solely on membership dues, donations and fund-raising activities for its income.
