Doberman Pinscher Dogs Available for Adoption in Oakland Park, Florida

04/22/26. We’re looking for a foster home for Ciara, a sweet senior girl.

Ciara came to our rescue after being intentionally starved by her owner, who wasn’t caring for her. The police stepped in and confiscated her.

Because of what she’s been through, she can be protective of her food around other dogs—which is completely understandable.

Ideally, we’re looking for an older person in the South Florida area who has no other pets and can take her in as a foster.

The Doberman Rescue League will cover all medical care—you provide the love.

04/08/26 Ciara went to the vet for a bloodwork recheck. Her results looked great overall, but her blood sugar was dangerously low (59), so we got a new feeding schedule.

She gained weight—from 29 lbs to 38 lbs. After the appointment, we took a quick trip to the pet store to grab more canned food, and everyone had a total meltdown over how sweet she was.

04/02/26. EMERGENCY -Ciara is 10 years old and weighs 29 lbs. She was an owner surrender, and we needed to pick her up immediately.

Broward County Animal Care called and told us we had to pick her up right away or she would be euthanized today. We drove to the shelter in tears to save her.

It’s heartbreaking that she was allowed to get to this point before anyone asked for help.

We’re heading to emergency at VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital now. PLEASE DONATE
