Medical care and careful screening before placement of a rescued dog are very important to the dog’s welfare. Every animal taken in by our rescue program is examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, and tested for heartworm, de-wormed if necessary and provided with any other needed medical treatment. All animals are then spayed or neutered to help decrease the staggering numbers of unwanted pets.

Hand Me Down Dobes, Inc. relies solely on donations and fund-raising activities for its support. Your adoption fee of $250.00 helps to defray the cost of rescuing and caring for these wonderful animals. (Many of our adoptive parents are so happy with their new dobe friends that they donate more than the minimum adoption fee!)

If you need additional information on specific dogs, an application must be completed. Once an application is completed, feel free to email us at HMDDAdoptions@yahoo.com or call our hotline at 614-470-2851.

We can only consider applications where our volunteers can do home visits - currently Ohio, northern Kentucky, northwest Pennsylvania and some parts of Indiana and West Virginia.

We know we all can’t all be pretty, but we all have wonderful personalities. Please don’t judge us on looks alone.

We try to keep the adoption list as current as we can, but it is possible that the dogs listed below have been adopted.
