Thank You Donors

Houston Area Doberman Rescue, Inc. (HADR) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation; donations made to HADR may therefore be tax deductible - please consult your tax advisor; and has no paid volunteers. Every penny received in adoption fees and donations goes into treating the Doberman Pinschers entering our program. Inasmuch as adoption fees alone do not sustain our ability to rescue, rehabilitate and place these dogs, our supporters are very important to us.

For those who have and continue to support HADR, Inc. in this endeavor, we would like to publicly "thank you" for your generosity and support. We could not do it without you!

We need donations -- both time &/or supplies. Would you like to volunteer? Contact Us.

Do I Go Home Today? by Sandi Thompson

My family brought me home one day
cradled in their arms. They cuddled me and smiled at me,
and said I was full of charm.

They played with me and laughed with
me, they showered me with toys. I sure do
love my family; especially the girls and boys.

The children loved to feed me, they gave
me special treats. They even let me sleep
with them and snuggled in the sheets.

I used to go for walks, often several
times a day. they even fought to hold my
leash, I'm very proud to say.

These are things I'll never forget - a
cherished memory. I now live in a shelter
without my family.

They used to laugh and praise me when
I played with that old shoe. But I didn't
know the difference between the old ones and the new.

The kids and I would grab a rag, for
hours we would tug. So I thought I did the
right thing when I chewed the bathroom rug.

They said that I was out of control and
would have to live outside. This I did not
understand although I tried and tried.

The walks stopped one by one they said
they hadn't time. I wish that I could change
things; I wish I knew my crime.

My life became so lonely, in the backyard
on a chain. I barked and barked all day
long, to keep from going insane.

So they brought me to a shelter but were
embarrassed to say why. They said I caused
an allergy, and kissed me goodbye.

If I'd only had some classes, as a little
pup, I wouldn't have been so hard to handle
when I was all grown up.

"You only have one day left", I heard the
worker say. Does this mean a second
chance? Do I go home today?
