All dogs featured below have now been rehomed

Jacko

Up-date: 7th January 2012Jacko went to his new home today, wishing him and Dianne the very best.

Up-date 28 December 2011: Looks like Jacko has found himself that special owner. Fingers and paws crossed this Wednesday when he meets Dianne who has had 4 Dobes before for the second time and is really enthusiastic about the prospect of giving Jacko a home. First Jacko will be having a one to one lesson with Andy and Diane at the kennels and after this he will be heading off to his new home either at the end of the month or early in the New Year.

Update 15 December 2011: Andy reports from the Lincs kennels that he is really pleased with Jacko and says 'He's proving quite responsive; walking pretty well on lead and I've done a bit of stability in the sit for a bit of extra control – he holds the position quite well and comes nicely into a decent recall position from about 10 yards so far. I've done a fair amount on his recall and he's been out off lead in the paddock and he's responding pretty well - just coming for food at the moment but it's pretty reliable. None of this has been done with any distractions yet, it's too early for that. He's had a bit of a woof at a couple of people visiting but nothing to write home about. It'll take some time to get that nerve properly sorted. I'm going to concentrate on the lead walking and recall. Hayley had him bringing a ball back to her in an enclosed space so I'll do a bit of that as well to build his confidence and give him some fun. We just need to be careful that we don't build hype instead of focus.' This is amazing strides forward for a dog who was isolated and spent considerable time on his own and often crated. Just needs that special person who is prepared to continue his training. There will be plenty of support from Andy who really rates this young male.

Update 2 December 2011: When you meet Jacko you see he definitely has that 'Look of Eagles', a proud young dog with a kind eye and open face he has the potential to be a lovely dog. Yesterday's training session included a couple of off lead recall sessions and recall is coming along promisingly. Lead training is ongoing and will be for some time. Jacko is showing interest in chasing a ball and its possession which will hopefully end up in a desire to retrieve. Jacko is a lad seeking purpose in his young and and until now aimless life.

Black and tan, castrated male aged 2 years old. Basically abandoned by his owner and unwanted until being taken into FOND's care he had spent much of of his time alone and in a cage. Jacko is under-socialised and needs an exceptional, experienced Dobermann owner who is willing to turn his life around. Currently in kennels in Lincolnshire where he is being given basic training and quietly socialized. This young Dobe has been starved of attention and affection and will need time to gain trust with people and to understand what is required of him generally. However, on the up side, within a week he is responding to his trainer and there is hope. Jacko just needs that special person who can help him have a normal Dobermann's life. Please call (01472) 398427 and speak to Paula Teal if you have that special home.

Jake

Up-date 16 December:Jake has gone to his new home which he has to learn to share with Hobson the cat. Fingers crossed he has the sense to know which side his bread is buttered as he has landed himself an absolutely super and totally committed owner. Don't mess it up Jake!

Update 15 December 2011: On Friday Jake will be meeting his potential new owner. If it is a good match he will be living besides lots of open country side with fields and woodland walks and will not only be going walking but jogging as well so those extra pounds he is carrying will soon be worked off.

Update 2 December 2011: Alas poor Jake, all at FOND are totally gutted for him and his new owner who has had an accident and cannot keep him. It was a marriage made in heaven but tragically not to be and now Jake is returning to FOND in the hope that there is someone else who can be his forever companion.

Previous Update, Monday 28 November 2011: Jake meets his new owner today. For the first time in his life he is going to be that 'special' dog on a one-to-one basis with someone who has time to give him 24 hour care. This boy will think all his Christmas's have come at once! Wishing you luck Jake.

Previous Update 19 November 2011:
Jake is a splendid fellow, a large comic and jolly dog who has now joined the FOND team in Aberdeenshire. He went for an introductory walk with Pippin, joined us in the kitchen and has lovely house manners. He travels like a dream in the car! Later he went to meet Christina at our support kennels where he introduced himself to a young labrador, 2 bouncing boxers, a couple of short hairies and a collie. Maybe a bit bewildered by the sudden changes, nevertheless, he behaved like a real gentleman. Jake will definitely make someone a lovely social companion. Walks well on a halti or Gencon.

This black and tan neutered male is four and a half years old. Jake has a tail and rather cute high set ears which give him a jaunty look. He is micro-chipped and vaccinated. Jake has been spending 10 hours plus every day on his own due to his owners' long shifts and is only being re-homed for personal reasons, definitely through no fault of his own. He is a very friendly dog and not surprisingly a little overweight due to a lack of exercise and a spot of over feeding. He likes to play with a rope toy and is generally well behaved. He has lived with children of all ages from time to time but because of his size would be sensible not to rehome him with toddlers.

Jake really needs that special home urgently because although he will have more company throughout the day at the FOND kennels he has become stressed of late and started to suck on his sides and nibble at his hind legs. What he needs now is human company where he will have lots of walks and some fun. If you can offer this lonely boy a home please call (01346) 532227. Jake has lived with a bitch in the past and does like to play with other dogs if they are friendly but obviously needs sensible introductions.

Crystal

Update 26 November 2011: Young Crystal has attracted quite a lot of attention. Pleased to report after a very successful home check today she will be meeting her new family, both human and Dobermann on the 3 December and going to live in Fife. Our home checker declared it a 'paradise', so lucky young Crystal.

Black and tan, good boned, striking looking Dobie bitch aged 10 months. Currently being fostered in Inverness and assessed she is living with several other dogs. Crystal is not comfortable with boisterous toddlers, therefore she will not be homed to a family with young children. Crystal has already had two homes so the third one has to be that special, forever one. To register interest and meet Crystal please call (01346) 532227

Pippin

Up-date: 29 November 2011 Pippin or Madam Pippin is now living happily in Lincolnshire receiving the one to one attention she believes she deserves!

Update 26 November 2011: Pippin has become a firm favourite at FOND's foster kennel however next week she really is on the move and will be introduced to her new home on the 29 November where everything is waiting from a new bed, to collar, lead, and most of all an excited and loving owner.

Previous Update 18 November: Pippin is now fully fit after spaying and having a benign tumour removed. Home check being carried out on Monday. Currently enjoying being Nelson's new girlfriend although at times from the indignant looks on her face you can tell she thinks him a bit of a lout!

Previous Update 9 November: Lots of interest and support for the fun Pippin who we hope to report will be on her way to her forever home at the end of the month.

A delightful, black and tan cheeky girl. Once she gains her confidence Pippin will be ready for fun and games; thought to be around 8 years old she is docked, spayed, micro-chipped and vaccinations up-to-date.

Pippin is an absolute 'sweetie', she can be a little anxious when meeting strangers for the first time and will have a bark. We know little of her history but she has definitely been roughly used at some stage in her life. Pippin was living with a family of all ages, she loves affection and is very obedient on walks with good recall and was living with a small, elderly bitch. Pippin is fine with our male Dobes but would not appreciate a boisterous companion and also behaved kindly with Taggie on walks. Peaceful home wanted as Pippin deserves a whole lot more than life has dealt her so far.

Pippin enjoys her home comforts and can be seen here contemplating what the sofa will be like in her new home! Travels well in car - can whine until she settles. Very anxious about being left until you have her trust and confidence. Highly likely she has already had more than two homes in her life and through no fault that we can see over the past weeks. Meet Pippin in Aberdeenshire at FOND's Foster Kennel. Tel: (01346) 532227 If you feel you can help FOND with some of the costs for Pippin's veterinary care please click here for more details...

Bailey Jnr

Update 26 November:Bailey Jnr has settled with his foster family after the shock of a long day's travelling and an over night in Edinburgh before meeting his carers. It has all been a bit traumatic for one so young. We hope to report in a couple of month's time that this is not just a foster home but a permanent adoption for this young Dobermann.

Update: 19 November 2011 - Bailey is going to meet potential foster parents in Scotland on Saturday who in the long term hope to offer him his permanent home.

A black and tan, entire young male aged 7 months, Bailey was born in April 2011 and is looking for a knowledgeable new home through no fault of his own. Bailey has up-to-date vaccinations, is micro-chipped and his dew claws have been removed. Currently living with a Beagle in Northumberland however two, young energetic dogs are too much for their owner. Has been around children but not lived with them. Likes attention and fuss and enjoys his toys. Meeting other dogs on a daily basis and is quite well socialised. Bailey is house trained and sleeps in a crate at night.

Poppy

Up-date 9 November:Poppy safely in her new home having told the neighbouring cat whose garden it is!

Up-date 8 November Smiley Poppy met her new family last night and they should have a few bruises on their legs from her whiplashing tail! After further introductions this morning they set off for North Wales where Pops will revel in being someone's special dog.

Up-date 26 October: Poppy will be meeting her new owners on Sunday 6 November we are delighted she has found a family home. Poppy is 4 years old, friendly and affectionate and wants to please. She walks well on he lead and has good recall. Poppy originates from a houseful of other dogs and has even lived with 2 pot bellied pigs, various fowl and chipmunks! Fine to re-home with family aged 12 and up this lady should be in her new home, she's a belter and will give her new owner's hours of amusement and loyalty. Definitely a Dobie with a sense of humour she craves company and loves going out in the car.

Tagliatelle

Up-date: 8 NovemberThe petite Taggie, definitely the smallest we have had so far met her new owners and companion Marley on Saturday. What a difference a couple of months has made to this Dobe, she enjoyed riding around in M and L's fabulous camper van, showing Marley her favourite beach walk and then posing around town with him the pair drawing admiring glances. Sunday morning she left with her family for a new life where she will receive commitment, structure, the affection and company she craves.

Up-date 29 October: Taggie has come through her spaying operation without a hitch. Last Thursday we took her all through our local town centre which was busy with people shopping, children and other dogs plus there was quite a lot of heavy, noisy traffic and Tags behaved impeccably, no nerves just interested and enjoying the activity. Taggie craves human company and would crawl inside your skin if she could! With further lead training and work on her recall time and patience she will like Chica, make a fantastic little companion. Taggie is petite, energetic and swift. She is Poppy's daughter and when Tags arrived she was a very shy and dependent on her mum, with few house manners but now she does keep her paws on the floor most of the time! Now quite a cheeky little monkey she is friendly and affectionate just 2 years old and full of mischief and like all young girls 'just wants to have fun'! Needs someone with plenty of time and energy, Tags might benefit from an older steadier dog for example and would certainly enjoy being part of a family with children aged 10 and up. We think she would be better without small furries as she has a high play and prey drive!

With further socialisation, patience and time Tags will make a cracking companion. Needs that someone special who will help her character develop as she has lots to give. To meet the waggiest tail in Aberdeenshire please call (01346) 532227.

Cody

Up-date 30 October Someone special appeared out of the blue for Cody and he met his new owners and companion today and left for a new life in the country after sad farewells. Young male Dobermannn nearly twelve months old urgently needs his new home as owner unable to cope due to change of personal and work circumstances. Very friendly, nice natured dog who has been vaccinated and neutered. Would benefit from committed and knowledgeable previous Dobermann owner as he needs further training and currently he is not being walked which is not good as will mean he is under socialised for his age. Cody likes his toys and is happy to be handled all over and appears to have a very laid back temperament despite his lack of exercise. Can be seen in Newcastle please contact Angela Whyte on her mobile 07929420799 for more information who has assessed Cody or register your interest with Pam Hall on (01346) 532227. As usual all applicants must complete Adoption Application form and will be home checked.

Tilly

Up-date: 5 Oct:Christmas has arrived early for Tilly, new home, new bed, new leather collar and lead and an array of companions from another Dobe, a Greyhound, a very superior cat, rabbits and guinea pigs and some gold fish. More news of Tilly with her own page 'Tilly finds a little piece of heaven' in due course. However long this lady may have as she has had no veterinary attention for 4 years and is covered in lumps and bumps her new owners are going to make sure that every hour of every day is special.

Up-date 2 October:There is a 'Dobe Angel' out there for Tilly as couple with over 30 years experience of the breed have kindly offered to take Tilly under their wing. Originally we were told this lass was 8 years old and then when she had her health check which she passed with flying colours for an 'oldie' with a few fatty lumps and bumps it transpired she is actually 12. Acts of unselfish kindness like this help restore your faith in mankind!

Black and tan, 12y.o. Dobie orphaned whilst left in kennels when her owner died away on holiday. Kind, friendly, good with people and other dogs she is now alone. Can you offer her a home?

Call Pam Hall on (01346) 532227 or Paula Teal on (01472) 398427. Tilly is in Lincolnshire.

Madison

up-date 2 October: Thank you to all the people who contacted FOND interested in Madison. Madie spent Saturday becoming acquainted with her new owners and we heard tonight she has travelled well, (loves the car), been for a walk along the beach and settled in her new bed. Good looking, well made, friendly and sound family Dobe who urgently needs her forever home. Born in March 2006 and recently spayed Madison enjoys being with a family and loves to play especially with a Wubba or a ball on a rope but it might not last long! She is full of fun and an excellent traveller in the car but will bark if left without company. This behaviour is probably due to being on at least her fourth home. Madison has lived with several other dogs and recently with 5 children of various ages. Can someone offer this lovely Dobe her permanent home as Madie needs her new family now because kennel life is not for her. Well behaved on the lead she has also been walked on a harness.Call (01346) 532227 for

Jess

up-date: 9 September - Jess met her new owners last night and we have already received wonderful pictures of her becoming acquainted with her new feline friends, having a walk in the good park followed by a good kip. Black and tan, just two years old and looking for her third home poor Jess is somewhat shocked to find herself in kennels. Hopefully her new home is out there soon so normality returns to her life. Re-homed because she was not getting on with the already resident dogs she is good with people, children and cats we are told but not proven. Travels quietly in the car. Currently quite nervous and obviously needs patient and understanding owners prepared to give her time and put the training in. Can be seen in Lincolnshire. Further details available once she has been assessed. Please call (01346) 532227 if you have a home to offer Jess as the only dog.

Dante

Dante met his new family on the 23 August. We were delighted with him as he has been coming out of his shell, becoming more and more confident. We heard tonight that he travelled back to Yorkshire without a murmur and is quite relaxed in his new home. We hope he will have many happy years with his new family and appreciate the dedication they and others have shown by making the long drive up to Aberdeenshire.

Up-date: 20 August Successful home check carried out for this lad. Potential owners coming to meet him at FOND's kennel on 23 August. He will benefit from becoming acquainted with any new owner before moving. Again dedicated Dobe owners driving all the way from Yorkshire so hope to report a good outcome for all concerned. Compact, black and tan neutered, male Dobermann born on 20 March 2008. Dante was living with several other dogs and in particular Chelsea who is also up for rehoming as family moved house and could not take all their animals. Dante's family consisted of 6 children aged 5 to 18 years old. He is a kind, friendly dog who is responding well to lead training and socialisation in local park and town. Originally living in a quiet location Dante is not used to hustle and bustle but should respond well in knowledgeable hands. Cannot live with cats and not good with live stock. For further information please call (01346) 532227. Microchipped and with vaccinations up-to-date Dante is in a temporary Fond Foster home on a quiet estate, his carers are very encouraged by Dante's responsive behaviour and believe whoever adopts this dog will have a special companion. Unfortunately he cannot stay there and we urgently need to find him his new home as we wuld prefer not to put him in kennels. Dante is not used to so much activity outside his home and has adjusted well to the changes. Dante can be seen in Aberdeenshire and is ready for new owners he would benefit with the company and example of a quiet female dog as he lacks confidence.

Chelsea

Up-date 20 August Last Saturday 13 August young Chelsea met a couple from Fife who had sadly lost their Dobe. Having had 4 male Dobes in the past they thought it would be nice to have a bitch for a change and came to meet her at the FOND kennel. The week past quickly for Chelsea walking with Ollie and Nelson so she was in very trim condition when the couple returned early this morning to whisk her off to her new home. Good luck Chelsea you were a pleasure to look after.

Black and tan, 3 y.o. bitch born on 22 March 2008. A real sweetie, she is not a big girl, and like Dante used to living in a busy household with children of varying ages and with other dogs. Most of Chelsea's exercise has been taken off lead and in a remote location however her first introduction to our local town centre did not bother her in the least and lead training is coming along well. Good in the car, friendly and confident, wanting to please she learns quickly. Apparently not good with cats or livestock through lack of introduction however now improving on every walk when going past farm animals. Last season finished 1 July 2011 and Chelsea will need to be spayed at the appropriate time. Could live with a neutered male, as an only dog or with her old pal Dante. Interested parties should call (01346) 532227 an intelligent dog who will love being back in a family. Currently in FOND foster kennel in Aberdeenshire.

Ollie

Up-date: 20 August Ollie has a new home, he has just spent the week commencing 15 August with a lady who drove all the way from the Leeds so that she could work and bond with him before taking him home. Ollie is a black and tan 3 y.o. male with a tail. Very tall, handsome dog with a kind eye, he is relaxed and extremely friendly around people. Ollie is underweight and has passed through 3 homes that we know of which ended up with him in a Council pound twice. FOND does not have Ollie's full history but have established he has lived with children and can be rehomed in a family with teenagers. Safe in a FOND kennel Ollie quickly found a knowledgeable and sympathetic owner. He craves company and becomes upset if left in a confined space. With training and stability he will make a super companion as he is very calm around the home and garden something we learnt in his week with us. A strong dog, he is responding to lead training, interacts well with people and travels well in the car once settled. Microchipped, vaccinated and wormed Ollie will be neutered when he is in suitable condition. Ollie was in Aberdeenshire. Good luck Ollie and Bev you deserve to be happy together.

Milo

Up-date 20 Aug: After numerous enquiries Milo has now found his new owners and packed his bags and said a sad farewell to his old family. However Milo has found a very special couple to adopt him and will be having lots of lovely long exciting walks with his new family and friends. A big thank you to all those people who offered Milo a home and really sorry to have disappointed some exceedingly good applicants.

Black and tan, 4 year old, castrated, micro-chipped and docked male with up-to-date vaccinations. Milo is a friendly, happy and confident family dog. He loves attention, is quite boisterous and currently living with an elderly dog. There are 3 children in his family aged 2, 4 and 9 years old. He travels well in the car and is not destructive when left alone.

Strong on the lead, but great off lead happy to play with other dogs he has good recall. A thoroughly lovely dog who is sadly up for rehoming due to change in his owner's personal circumstances. Large family home with spacious garden and lots of good walks wanted for this special boy.

Tara

Black and rust coloured, spayed Dobie bitch born on the 22 June 2010 with up-to-date vaccinations she is micro-chipped. Tara's owners have asked FOND to find this delightful, fun loving, intelligent, energetic youngster a home where she can develop to her full potential. Tara needs to fill out a little and learn some manners, like jumping up is not allowed! Also to walk to heel on the lead and receive further socialisation after which she will definitely make someone a loyal and entertaining companion. A quick learner she should respond well to training and is a good candidate for agility classes. Tara is being rehomed through no fault of her own and reluctantly by owners whose circumstances have changed drastically. Currently in Fond Foster Kennel, Aberdeenshire. Please call (01346) 532227 if you think you can offer Tara a home and understand large active breeds.

Ty

Handsome, medium sized black and tan castrated male of approximately 7 years. Louise went to visit him on 29 June and he gave a very friendly, waggly greeting with no barking. Gentle and well mannered in the house. Enjoys car rides and his kong. Being rehomed due to owner's failing health who is no longer able to exercise him.. Went out for a walk on a Gencon and walked well as he is strong on a normal collar. Advised that he is fantastic with children of all ages and is around them frequently. Good with dogs he knows. Ty appears depressed due to his confinement and would love a home . Does not like being left alone and will bark, would love to potter around with keen gardener, or on small holding and go for quiet walks. More details from (01346) 532227. Ty is in a FOND foster home in Aberdeenshire.Fingers crossed for Ty who meets potential new owner on 8 July. Ty has been rehomed.

Roxy

Roxy rehomed 4 July 2011

Dainty, slender and very pretty black and tan entire young bitch rising 2 years old. Roxy is full of fun, extremely friendly and affectionate but did bark through nerves when Louise went to meet her at her home in Clackmannanshire on 29 June. Roxy lacks training and discipline so she is up to mischief and definitely needs to be taught some manners as she will steal food, pop paws on work tops and take a fancy to your biscuit. Great nature with children of all ages and loves her family. Likes other dogs however her lead manners leave something to be desired, despite the aforementioned Roxy has the makings of a fantastic family dog but does need an experienced owner willing to put in the training. She is intelligent and would enjoy learning and respond well to this. Owners who like a challenge with lots of energy please call (01346) 532227 for more details about this bundle of mischief! Roxy will need to be spayed.Up-date: 4 July Roxy is being taken to meet couple offering her a home.

Diesel

Black and tan castrated male born in August 2005 is looking for his new home. Diesel has been micro-chipped, and was brought up with a 9 y.o. boy. He enjoys his chews and kongs and a game of football. Currently left for long periods due to personal circumstances. Diesel is living in Derbyshire and currently undergoing assessment. He is very friendly and a nice looking dog who needs a Dobie owner with time to give him the company, attention and walks he needs. Enquiries to Pam (01346) 532227. Up-date: 30 June 2011 Diesel goes to his new home on the 2 July 2011.

Rocky

Up-date: 30 June 2011 Rocky has a new home.

FOND would like to try and help this 8 month old black and tan pup. Currently in the ownership of a young man who would love to keep him however due to domestic circumstances within the family this is not possible. Rocky is already on his third home and needs stability. We are not keen for this pup to go into a kennel situation so is there anyone out there who has experience of the breed, is prepared to put in the work further socialising this young male who is basically a very friendly individual. Please call (01346) 532227 if you can help or even foster. Rocky is in Lincolnshire. Well mannered pup who knows his basic commands and travels well in the car. Vaccinated. Lives with a cat and used to horses.Up-date:24 June Rocky has had to go into a FOND Kennel, hopefully he will soon be in his new and forever home.

Khan

Up-date:24 June Khan is already settled in his new home. Successful meeting with new owners on the 13 June. Sadly up for rehoming due to extenuating family circumstances Khan will be five in September. Good looking black and tan, castrated male he has a fantastic nature and is presently living with two other dogs and was raised with a young boy. He is vaccinated, micro-chipped, good with other dogs and people. Khan just wants to be loved and really needs someone home most of the day. He would thrive in a home with lots of space, standing in a large garden or own grounds where he could wander at will with his owner. He also appreciates a regimented exercise regime as he likes routine! More information from Pam on (01346) 532227. Khan is the Glasgow area.

Rebel

Up-date:17 June - Rebel is now in permanent Foster Care. Allan took Rebel complete with medication for his arthritis to meet Sue and Steve who kindly offered to foster this bereft Dobe. Everyone who has met Rebel from Allan, to the vet, veterinary nurse and new family say what a handsome fellow he is. May he be a happy one after so much sadness.

Senior black and tan Dobe whose owner has sadly passed away urgently needs caring foster or final home preferably with another social elderly canine resident. Rebel is obviously depressed as his owner had been ill for some time and he is now totally lost. Vaccinated and neutered he is a friendly, relaxed dog who loves to be petted. Despite his years he has a young face but does have some muscle wastage due to lack of exercise therefore short, steady walks needed to strengthen his back end. Rebel will have a health check before being fostered or re-homed. Overall he is a fine and sweet old man who would certainly be little trouble to anyone in a position to open their home and heart to him. Please call (01346) 532227 if you can help Rebel he is currently in Lancashire.

If you think you could offer one of our dogs a permanent caring home home please look at our Adoption page

Up-date: 22 May Introductory meeting set up for Logan when he meets his possible new family.Black and tan, castrated male born in November 2008. Vaccinations and worming up-to-date and micro-chipped. Logan is a happy, friendly young dog and is very tactile as he like to lean on you whilst being stroked.

Logan travels well in the car and has been familiarized with livestock and enjoys playing with other dogs, however, he will chase squirrels and barks at cats and would chase given the chance. Plays with toys but can be possessive about sticks and inclined to be 'mouthy' which needs correcting.

Can be seen in Merseyside however read more about Logan.

Zee

Up-date: Zee is being adopted by her Foster Carers who have kindly accepted responsibility for her veterinary needs. She has had 4 teeth removed after an abscess appeared and is now on antibiotics and making great progress. If only there were more caring people to come forward for the Oldies.Black and tan, senior lady 9+ with some health issues (arthritis, build up of plaque on teeth and gum disease) came up for urgent rehoming around 21 May when her blind and diabetic owner was not longer able to cope. Zee is in a foster home and settled in really well and it is likely that her carer will adopt her. This would obviously be the happiest outcome for her. More news on Zee as it becomes available. She has been micro-chipped and received her first vaccination.

Belle

Black and tan, 15 month old Dobie bitch with up-to-date vaccinations and micro-chipped. Came up for urgent rehoming around the 20 May after change in owner's domestic circumstances.

Belle has gone to a couple who were waiting for a family Dobe. More information on her progress in due course.

Zack

Up-date:Home check carried out for Zack and he has gone to live on the north coast of Scotland with half an acre of garden and close to beach walks. Active home required with lots of time to exercise and give attention to this lovely, family dog. Zack is black and tan, aged 3 years old, castrated and an affectionate, good natured dog with up-to-date vaccinations. He is living with two small children aged 2 and 5 however the imminent arrival of a new baby and husband's extended working hours mean Zack is not receiving the time and attention he deserves. A fine big strong dog. Genuine rehoming through change in family circumstances. Please call Pam on (01346) 532227.

Alex

Up-date Alex rehomed 28 May 2011. Black and tan, 4 year old, docked and neutered male dobermann whose owner has had him since an eight week old pup and is sadly up for rehoming due to drastic change in personal circumstances. Micro-chipped with vaccinations up-to-date including kennel cough, Alex would benefit from further socialisation and lead training. He travels well in the car, is good with other dogs on and off lead, enjoys playing with various toys, however, recall needs further work. Alex is a friendly but slightly reserved Dobe who appears well adjusted and confident and happy to be petted.

Jerry

Up-date:21 April Jerry's new family collected him. A very sad day for his owners who did not give him up lightly. 17 April Jerry will be going to his new home on the 21 April where he will be living with a family who have 2 teenage boys and a Dobie bitch called Ellie for company.

Up-date: 11 April Jerry meeting potential new family on Saturday 16 April.Black and tan, 4 year old entire Dobermann. Fully vaccinated and micro-chipped. Fantastic family dog with good manners urgently needs home due to family's long working hours. Not good with cats only minus we know of.

Chica

Up-date:17 April, Chica was officially adopted today and is off to live in Cumbria.

Up-date: 15 April an exciting weekend in store for Chica who will be meeting her potential new owner and her dog spending a long weekend together to see if they are all made for one another.

Chica was born on the 3 September 2009 a petite Dobie bitch who is now ready for rehoming. Currently in a FOND kennel it would be good to find her special home as soon as possible. Chica is a timid girl who is very gentle and affectionate and is used to children and has lived with another dog.

She travels well in the car and like to play ball and enjoys her food. She does need further socialisation from someone who has the time and knowledge to develop her confidence and is at home all day. A delightful dinky Dobermann. Chica would benefit from being in a quiet environment so no small children and if there is another dog possibly a gentle male to show her the ropes.

Bow

Up-date: 17 AprilBow is now living in Cambridgeshire

Up-date: 11 AprilBow meeting her new owners on Saturday 16 April.Black and tan bitch born 7 October 2007, micro chipped, vaccinated and spayed. Bow is friendly and well behaved and happy around children, friends and visitors. Lives with a male Dobe and young baby. She is a little shy until she knows you but very sweet natured and likes to play with toys, is good in the car and out on walks. Sadly up for rehoming as working hours in owner's family business have increased and his wife now back at work and also caring for young baby. Bow is spending from 7.00 a.m. in the morning until 6.00 p.m. at night with just her friend Jerry for company and only getting a short daily walk. Her owners know this is not right and want a good home for her. Bow is NOT being rehomed because there is a baby in the household.

Guinness

Up-date: 3 April 2011A dream came true, Guinness went home today.

Up-date: 1 April 2011Guinness has had a busy time since being in FOND kennels, he now has his vaccinations up-to-date, is microchipped and neutered and waiting patiently for his new home. Tomorrow Saturday 2 April he will meet his new owners and be spending the day with them. All being well Guinness and his new family will setting off for the south east of England on Sunday. Such a change in store for this boy, someone at home with him all day, his own secure garden and 12 acres of woodland to potter in.

Up-date: 18 March 2011Guinness travelled to the vets a 20 mile round trip and surprised us as although he was restless and whined his behaviour indicated that on a long trip he would probably lie down and sleep. He passed his health check and weighed in at 38.5 kilos. Poor chap, more trauma castration and micro-chipping due shortly but best to get it out of the way so when his new home comes along he can settle in without further upheaval. Guinness has been taken out for walks on a Gencon headcollar which he clearly did not like to begin with but is now more accepting and in fact walks well enough on a flexi lead and is perfectly manageable. On a short lead when starting off leaving the house or going out through the gate he is very strong indeed and definitely needs to be on a headcollar and half check to anchor him but once he is on his walk he settles, stops pulling preferring to walk just in front of you. Once he has bonded with his new owner he will not be a problem off lead and in a stable home environment with regular exercise and affection he will make an excellent, loyal companion. Guinness urgently needs a home as he is not at all suited to kennel life and is totally bemused and bewildered by all that has happened to him over the past couple of months.

Black and tan, strong and handsome male dobermann dog, d.o.b. July 2004 Guinness is a real family orientated dog who is desperate for a home with owners who have time and affection to give him as he craves human company. He has lived with a cat and always behaved well towards visiting children belonging to friends of his ex-owner.

Up-date: 1 March Guinness moved from a Rescue Kennel in Central Scotland into FOND's care. If Guinness could write a book his tale would bring a tear to the eye. Original owner unable to care for him because of changed domestic circumstances followed by an accident so he went to an elderly parent who sadly found Guinness too much for him. Unwittingly this gentleman was duped and he gave Guinness away to a young man who professed he wanted to give the dog a good home having expressed his admiration for the handsome Guinness. This cruel and uncaring individual sold Guinness on to a couple who had no idea about Dobermanns and then they duly dumped him so he found himself being picked up by the local dog warden. One traumatised and confused dog who although he is eating in kennels is totally stressed by his change in circumstances and really does need and deserve a very special home to make up for all he has endured.

Holly

Up-date:Successful home check carried out for Holly who will be packing her bags and writing a final Blog before meeting her new family on the 12 March. Good luck Holly. Wonder if you will miss your huge friend George?

Black and tan, 6 y.o. unspayed, dobermann bitch with very affectionate nature currently being fostered needs her permanent home. Holly is not good with cats and doesn't care for the hoover! She does pull on the lead but is receptive to training and with regular exercise routines this should improve. She is good with other dogs, has lived at weekends with an 8 y.o. child and is quite placid by nature. Loves being wrapped up in her blanket at night time. Travels well in the car after a walk but will whine if she knows she is on her way to the park. Can be left in the house and is not destructive. Holly has had many changes in her life, through no fault of her own and we are looking for a home that will make up for all the upheaval she has endured and offer her the security and loving care she deserves. To enquire about Holly who is in the north east call Pam on (01346) 532227. Take a look at the world through Holly's eyes.

Enzo

Up-date:Enzo met his new owners on 13 March and goes to his new home later in the month when they return from holiday.

Black and tan, 1 year old K.C. registered, castrated, vaccinated and micro-chipped male. Enzo has lived with cats, ponies and 3 spayed bitches and been well socialised. Travels well in the car. Friendly and boisterous as you would expect from a young Dobe. Being rehomed as owners do not have time or understanding for this very intelligent, but high maintenance young Dobie. Ideal for an active home with mature family who would like to take part in Obedience and Agility classes. Should thrive in an experienced Dobermann home with firm, fair and consistent handling.

Oskie

Up-date:Successful home check for young Oskie who will hopefully be introduced to potential new family very soon. One step at a time. 13 February interesting day for Oskie who met his new family. They spent a couple of hours together getting to know one another and this lucky puppy is going to live on a farm with a lurcher bitch for companionship and guidance, someone at home all day and a collection of horses and geese in 17 acres so life won't be dull.

Up-date: 11 Feb Home check taking place with family who would like to adopt Oskie. Handsome, brown and tan young entire male dobermann puppy sadly needs to be rehomed due to sudden family bereavement. Experienced owner with secure garden and good access to walking, Oskie will only go to a home where owners are prepared to continue his socialisation and basic obedience with someone home for the majority of the day. Vaccinations are up-to-date.

Oskie is a lovely boy in good health and basic manners. He can be left for up to 3 hours without any issues but in one so young not appropriate at this stage on a daily basis. He is fully house trained and has no phobias or issues. Oskie has not lived with children but when meeting them has behaved well. Occasionally he can be a bit 'barky' on the lead when meeting new dogs, but overall he is fine off lead and on lead with other dogs. Nothing that cannot be overcome with further socialisation.

Beau

Beau is good in the car and enjoys being brushed. Very social with people, he loves his current family's young boy who is now seven and has grown up with him..

Although he's not a problem off lead with other dogs, Beau will sometimes bark playfully at them when on the lead, but he has never shown any aggression. His owner walks him off lead most of the time and he loves playing with other dogs but when he turns and walks away Beau follows happily. Being rehomed through no fault of his own, Beau would love to meet you!

Dobies featured below rehomed after being featured on the FOND website but under the wing of another rehoming organisation.

Zara

Up-date: Home Check being carried out for Zara this weekend 6 February. Events moved quickly for young Zara and after a successful home check her new owners drove the length of the country the next day to collect her. Zara travelled home well and has settled easily even lying with her new owner on the sofa being stroked in the company of one of four resident cats!

Black and tan 18 month old, entire bitch urgently needs a new home, she is being dominated by her current owner's male dobermann and losing her confidence. A very good natured dog, she is quite placid but a little timid which is not being helped by the male's behaviour and they are now having to be separated.

Zara is obedient most of the time (needs further socialisation) and good on the lead, currently living with a young child.

She travels OK in the car, but has not had much experience of travelling any distance. The current owner believes that Zara would benefit from being an only dog, so that she can develop her personality.

Caleb

Up-date:Caleb has had a couple of meetings and walks with new owners including a 'sleep over' to see how they all get on. Happy to report he has behaved like the gent he is portrayed to be and will soon be settling into his new home.

Handsome black and tan 4 year old Dobermann docked, neutered and micro-chipped. Reluctantly Caleb is up for rehoming due to a change in his owner's domestic circumstances.

A gem of a Dobe, unfortunately he does suffer from separation anxiety which stems from having had 3 different homes before he was 10 months old. Caleb currently lives with a bitch and a cat.

Caleb has excellent manners both on and off the lead, good recall, and good in the car - but he does whine when been driven to his favourite beach walks. An affectionate, much-loved dog who loves playing fetch with his ball, he just needs a special home. Caleb would suit an active retired couple and can currently be seen in the Kilmarnock area.

Cujo

Up-date: Sunday 30 January Cujo is off to meet her new owner

Brown and tan, good natured, very friendly 6 year old bitch called Cujo. Vaccinated and micro chipped. Does pull a bit on the lead. Cujo can be seen in Cumbria and is being rehomed through no fault of her own.

Kyra

Update: 29 January - Kyra has gone to her new home and Evelyn has received phone calls and long email saying how well she has settled in.

Kyra 3 1/2 year old good looking black and tan spayed bitch with docked tail looking for a home with company during the day and plenty of exercise.

Kyra is good with children and has lived happily with a male staffie.

Duke

Up-date: 22 JanuaryFantastic news for Duke who met potential new owners yesterday and has now sailed away to live on the Isle of Arran with experienced owners of rescue Dobies. Duke had to wait awhile for the right home to come along so absolutely delighted for him. Handsome black and tan male, 2 1/2 y.o. with a tail, slightly underweight at the moment due to being in kennels as he is missing home life, but nevertheless still a bundle of energy and a lovely friendly dog.

Duke needs further training but sits on command and is reasonable on the lead. Vaccinated and micro-chipped, Duke's owner has gone to live abroad so he is being rehomed through no fault of his own. Duke can be seen in Ayrshire.

Understood to have lived with with children so can go to home with family, children aged 12+ but will be best rehomed as an only dog as he craves attention and can be very boisterous when playing.
