A tribute to Jim Holman ❤️

Jim, who passed away last week, generously volunteered with DHDR for over ten years. In addition to fostering, transporting, and even donating funds with his wife Janeen, Jim handled all the Veterinary record redaction for DHDR.

Jim was known for his pure kindness, and devotion to the breed. He was always so supportive and we are so grateful he blessed us with his time and talents. We know there are a lot of Dobermans who met him at the 🌈 bridge. They will be happy to see him and take good care of him ❤️

Katana says let’s gooooo! She looks right at home as her new mom’s co-pilot. Congratulations to them both! ❤️🚙

Swipe for some helicopter tail action 🚁🚁

This is what happens when your foster brother is much older than you. 🚁

Cocoa is a 1 year old stunning all-natural male Doberman. He does great with other dogs, and loves people. He loves alllll the toys and games. Coco was an outdoor dog and was not familiar with simple things like tile floors, stairs, or even dog beds.  He is quickly learning what it is like to be inside; he has figured out the dog door and what a dog bed is for.  He would like your hand on his head at all times. Cocoa doesn’t just wag his tail, he has a helicopter tail. As a youngster, Cocoa will need ongoing positive training. He is just starting to learn basic commands and has not yet learned about the crate. He rides nicely in the car, and is eager, so he will be really fun for someone to train!

Draco is now safe with DHDR and we need your help!

Recently, we received an email from someone asking for support. They said "Draco has a lot of ticks and I’ve tried to take them off but they keep coming back; he’s limping now and I feel bad for him - he needs help and I can’t provide the help he needs."

Before we could find a foster, he was taken to Pinal County.
Draco, who we have re-named Domingo, came into Pinal county covered in ticks from head to toe. He could not walk, and had swelling over his spine, hips, and pelvis. He was only able to lift his head, and needed help sitting up. In order to urinate, he required assistance to be propped up. He defecated while laying down. The shelter decided they would do 72 hours of medication, and if that didn't help, they would humanely euthanize him.

Meanwhile, his bloodwork came back positive for tick disease, and severe disseminated valley fever, with lesions causing his inability to walk. Imaging showed osteomyelitis - painful swelling in bones - of R scapula, left hemi-pelvis, L stifle, vertebrae T1-2 + T4-5 + L4-5, and the skull.

This boy is resilient.

Over six weeks in foster with Pinal County, he regained the ability to walk...and is now bouncing around. He still has a lot of work to do on building muscle and treating the Valley Fever. The complex treatment plan will require bloodwork every 30 days for 3-6 months, repeat imaging, meds, and then hopefully he will move into traditional Valley Fever treatment. Conservatively, we believe care for his first year will cost $3,500.

We are so grateful to Pinal County, and to his person for recognizing that he needed help. If Dobies spend time outside, they need regular tick prevention treatment, and regular testing for things like tick disease and Valley Fever. If you or anyone you know are ever in a situation in which you can't afford this, please reach out to DHDR for veterinary support.
