Tennessee Doberman Rescue | A Pinsch of Heaven Doberman Rescue

Important Disclosures:

1. Due to being comprised completely of volunteers, please allow up to 72 (business day) hours for a return call or email.

2. We love our dogs, so TDR+ has a strict policy of only placing dogs in homes within a 4 hour drive of Knoxville or Nashville, TN; allowing us to be there in person to help should things not go according to plan. If you live outside of our radius, please visit www.dpca.org for a list of wonderful rescues closer to you that may have the best friend you are looking for!

3. Like most doberman rescues, we only receive puppies into rescue on average 1 to 2 times per year (so selecting “puppy” on your application could greatly extend your waiting period).

4. Incomplete applications will not be considered, so please make sure to fill out each field it its entirety.

Thank you for choosing adoption, and we look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely, The TDR+ BOD & Team
