Lone Star Doberman Rescue TX

HELP! Hi friends! We're looking for a temporary foster home, ideally within 3 (-4) hr drive of Austin, Nov 10 - Dec 26. While his current foster family is traveling for most of these dates. He'll also be available for adoption during this time.
♡He is a 5 yr old neutered, vaccinated male Doberman, crate trained, good with other dogs, moderate to low energy, a sweet, fun boy who loves toys & affection, potty trained, not destructive at all, enjoys walks (but walks aren't necessary). NO cats & NO kids please.
Can anyone help? 🙏🙏🙏

🛑BEWARE- Every year there are many Halloween🎃 related dog bites that could have easily been 100% avoidable.
🛑When kids or adults dress up in any type of costume, it can be very confusing, frightening, over excite and over stimulate dogs, but dark/scary costumes can really be scary and provoke aggression or other totally unusual responses to what a dog's normal behavior is. This year the dog may do okay, but not the next year. That costume might be okay but the other costume causes a reaction. It's not all 100% the same across the line.
😥When the dog reacts negatively by biting or repeatedly attacks what it believes and senses as a threat, now the dog is in big trouble & potentially losing its home or even being euthanized. (And a human is also now injured. 🙄)
THIS IS NOT THE DOG'S FAULT!
📣 It is the human's responsibility to keep their dog safe from any kind of potentially harmful situations. ‼️Leave your dogs at home on Halloween! And even within your own household, go slow with any costumes and absolutely do not attempt to scare your dog.
📢Be a smart owner. Don't let your dog become a victim to human's stupidity.

🚩🚩Wedgewood Pharmacy has issued a Nationwide recall on nearly 4000 medications. Pimobendan and enalapril, drugs frequently prescribed for Dobermans with DCM, are included in the recall. I will like an article in the comments. To check if your dog's medication is included in the recall, have the bottle/s in hand.

Two weeks ago, we received 3 different owner surrender intake requests within 2 days of each other for 3 different puppies under 20 weeks old! Luckily, we had 2 pre-approved LSDR home ready, able & excited to adopt puppies! (One of the pups was given away to the original owner's co-worker even though we had placement for it too.) The other 2 that went to LSDR homes are doing great & will have the absolute best lives ahead of them!

Sad news this week. Lex (formerly known as Lanny) passed peacefully & without warning in his sleep Monday night from suspected DCM. He would've been 11 yo this Christmas. He was such an amazing companion. His family is heartbroken & in shock. Please keep them in your prayers.
💔🪽🐾🌈❤️

Lex had a wonderful, completely normal, happy, great day prior. This is why DCM is known as the silent killer- there are no symptoms until it's late stage and some times the 1st symptom is sudden death. Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) is our breed's #1 cause of death - it is a genetic issue that plagues our breed. Although research continues to try to find a cure, there isn't one. Only early detection screenings & starting meds to slow it down & manage it- but when caught early & meds are started, it can prolong life 1-4 yrs! Imagine having that much more time with your beloved Dobe.
Early detection screenings are available, although most general veterinarians don't ever recommend, don't know (or if they do) the correct tests unfortunately. As a Doberman owner, *if* you want to, it's up to you to learn more about early detection & what 2 screenings must be done annually for early detection. Once your armed with the knowledge, you can advocate for your Dobe, get the correct tests done and prolong your dogs life.
We're happy to share information on early detection- just email us.
