SHDR alum Ella is doing her best raw Turkey 🦃 impersonation to remind you it’s time to start cooking 🤣

She also wants to remind you that not all the goodies of Thanksgiving are safe for your furry friends, so be sure to share the love with caution.

From all of us at SHDR we hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving filled with good times, good company, and good food. As always be thankful ❤️

HEY!!! Remember me? It’s Sugarplum!! I just turned a whole year old, and I’m still looking for my forever home!

Sugarplum is a delight of a dog. She is a little different, a little special, and a WHOLE lot to love. Here’s what we know for sure:

- Sugarplum is GREAT with other dogs of all kinds. She is a rare case where we would recommend she go to a home that already has SEVERAL other dogs, as she can focus intently on just one and annoy them or stress them out. Currently, she’s doing amazing in large play groups with dogs of all shapes and sizes!

- She’s not sure what stairs are, but she’s shown potential to learn.

- Cats are a maybe. If they’re dog-savvy and won’t run, they should be fine, but we don’t know 100% for sure.

- She has grown and healed to the point where not much has to be done differently as far as caring for and feeding her. She does NOT require a Bailey chair or any other upright feeder to eat, and she doesn’t require liquid meals either! Just an elevated feeder will do her perfectly fine.

- She loves to be outside and she is obsessed with water.

- This girl ain’t afraid of NOTHIN. She doesn’t know there’s anything different about her from any other dog.

- Once she’s worn herself out, she sleeps through the night in the crate just fine without a peep. As far as tiny velociraptors go, she’s pretty easy as long as she gets exercise and plenty of stimulation throughout the day.

This sweet girl is a tiny little package with a big personality and a ton of love and laughter to give. She meshes seamlessly with most packs and can play for hours or entertain herself. If you’re looking to bring home a new addition for the holidays (and beyond!!!) apply today at sweethomedobermanrescue.org/adoption!

REMINDER that we will NEVER ask you to pay an adoption fee prior to approval. Approval with our rescue includes a home visit and vet check in addition to your application. The above website is the ONLY valid website that we use. We are happy to provide validation of our credentials to anyone who asks. Please be aware of scams and duplicate accounts operating under our name and/or image as they are NOT legitimate and do NOT represent SHDR in any shape or form.

SHDR alum Angus says Happy Howloween 👻 🎃!

The weather is just right in Alabama for trick or treating 🥰.

Remember to keep your pups safe if you’re handing out candy by ensuring they can’t escape out the door. If the action is a little too much for them, give them a space inside that’s their own where they can relax.

If they’re headed out with you to get all the goodies, make sure to keep them on leash and have updated tags.

Show us what your furry friends are wearing today! Stay safe and have a great weekend 🥰

🚨AN IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING SCAM ACCOUNTS:🚨

We are aware that there is still a prolific scam account using our name and photos as they pose to be us. There is definitely a person behind this, not simply a bot. This scammer continues to harvest peoples’ personal information and tricks or attempts to trick them into sending money for dogs that do not exist.

REMINDER: WE ARE NOT INTAKING DOGS. We have VERY few dogs still in our custody at the moment, so if you see “us” publishing dozens of dogs, ITS NOT US.

REMINDER: Applications are found on our website (that WE own and only WE have access to) at sweethomedobermanrescue.org. THIS IS OUR ONLY WEBSITE!!!!! We DO NOT use Jotform for our applications and will never ask you to fill one out on that platform. If you receive a link from us linking to Jotform, IT IS NOT US. DO NOT SUBMIT ANY INFORMATION TO THIS LINK!!!!!

REMINDER: WE DO NOT AND HAVE NEVER USED PROFESSIONAL TRANSPORT SERVICES TO MOVE OUR DOGS. Our adoption radius remains the same. If “we” claim we will ship you a dog anywhere in the country, ITS NOT US.

It is deeply troubling and frustrating that all attempts to report and remove this fake page have been ignored by Facebook and Meta. Every report so far has been deemed to not be in violation of their terms.

Let us be frank: a real person with malicious intent is tricking people into sending them money and their personal details, including their name, address, contact info, and intimate details about their homes and families. We at SHDR have never and will never use these trusted details for nefarious intent. The same cannot be said said for bad actors who are allowed to operate hiding behind the mask of OUR rescue.

Do better, Facebook.

To our followers, supporters, and alumni, thank you for trying to help us. We know you are getting the same notifications we are that your reports are being thrown out. It’s beyond infuriating. Hopefully we can get this stopped.

We are pursuing every avenue to get this fake page shut down, including legal action and federal investigations. Once again, if you’re reading this, dear scammer, stop while you’re ahead. REAL rescues have connections, and all of us know you’re fake and alone.

If you suspect you have been corresponding with a fake profile, please message us here or email us at [email protected] to confirm validity or to provide evidence of scam activity.

AGAIN:
WE WILL NEVER ASK YOU FOR MONEY PRIOR TO DISCUSSION WITH OUR FOSTER FAMILIES AND AN ADOPTION BEING FINALIZED.
WE WILL NEVER ASK FOR YOUR INFORMATION VIA JOTFORM.
WE DO NOT AND WILL NEVER SHIP DOGS WITH TRANSPORTATION COMPANIES.
sweethomedobermanrescue.org IS OUR O N L Y WEBSITE AND THIS IS OUR O N L Y FACEBOOK PROFILE.
Please be vigilant and do not trust any messages you receive that look like the screenshot below. Thank you for your support.

Today is National Black dog day! Black dogs historically sit in shelters longer than dogs of other colors. This is due to them being seen as "plain" or less attractive, but we know that is simply NOT true!

Barton is here to say they are just regal as their more "flashy" furry friends 😂❤️. He also wants everyone to know he is enjoying his foster family very much, and even though SHDR isn't taking in doggos at this time, we still need your support. He was recently diagnosed with some heart issues and we are currently evaluating him to determine if it's Heartworm related or congenital. It has not slowed him down though and he has no idea there's even an issue.

Vet visits can get expense quick and we need a better understanding of what's going on before we proceed with Heartworm treatment. Any amount helps and Barton would be so grateful for the support.

Donations can be made at the links below or via our website at www. sweethomedobermanrescue.org

*As a reminder, this is our ONLY page! We are actively trying to get the scam page taken down, but Meta is less than helpful.
-We will never ask for donations through ApplePay, Chime, etc.
-The links provided in our posts are the ONLY pay apps we have and will always appear on our posts. The website is ours and ours alone because we own both the .org and the .com.

SHOW US YOUR BLACK DOGS!! ❤️❤️

Not only are Harley and Edith alumni of Auburn’s amazing donor program, but they are both SHDR alumni as well!! We are SO incredibly proud of these pups and all the good they have done!

Rescue dogs are just as capable of making a difference in the world as any other pup. They may not always look or act the same as a pedigreed pup, but make no mistake: a rescue dog is just as much of a fighter and a potential force for good!

Congratulations Edith and Harley!

‼️ SCAMMER ALERT ‼️

A fake page impersonating our rescue has been created and is scamming people out of their money. This fraudulent page may look like us on the surface, but this is run by low life thieves.

NONE of the content posted here is ours. We don’t even know who these dogs are, but they’re certainly not ours. Likely they are stealing content from other rescue pages and posting to look legitimate. They are also asking for money up front for dogs that are not even in their (or our!!!) custody.

FACT: We are CLOSED TO ALL INTAKE. We are not going to accept your dog OR demand money from you to help.
FACT: We are ten years old and our page has over 16,000 followers. This page was made in July and has only 5,200 followers.
FACT: We will NEVER discuss adoption of a dog through our main page, and NEVER without an APPROVED APPLICATION on file. The ONLY WAY to adopt through us is to complete our application process which includes a HOME VISIT. Haven’t been visited in person by one of our volunteers? Then you are not in the middle of a legitimate process with us.
FACT: All adopters are allowed to chat with the foster parents of our dogs prior to adoption. We will NEVER finalize an adoption without allowing fosters and adopters to interact first.
ACT: The person (and it’s definitely a person) behind this sucks, end of story.

Animal welfare is hard enough as it is right now. Trying to take advantage of people for money in their time of need is the absolute lowest of the low. Please help us get this page permanently removed and report them.

The link to the FAKE ACCOUNT is here: https://www.facebook.com/share/17DhXs9PtY/?mibextid=wwXIfr
If you receive a notice saying the content is unavailable or cannot he found, the page has either blocked you (they’ve blocked us) or has been taken down.

And if you’re reading this, dear scammer(s), sit and spin 🖕
