I have a 2 1/2 year old Dobe, her name is Anna Banana. She is a wonderful dog. My 10 month old son adores her, he giggles at her when she licks his toes. We love her. This is where my problem begins. We are moving to Illinois from Western New York state. The apartment village that we are moving into consider her an "aggressive breed". I was hoping to find her a foster home in the Illinois area for about 12 months. We have a lease for that long and we plan on buying a house after that. We will of course pay for any needs that she has and we would love to come and visit her on weekends. I have already been turned down by a Doberman Rescue place because she has an owner and there are other dogs in need. But she is still a Dobe in need, she might have to lose her family. We don't want this to happen we love her too much. Please if you can help or know of anyone that can help or even if you have anyother suggestions. You can email me at blackbearoutfitters@netzero.net or post it here.
Please Help
Erin, Anna and Family
If you really care about your Doberman and your
ten month old really loves her?????
Then find another Apartment building, especially if your planning on buying a home in a year anyway?
What is your plan, to put your dog in a foster home for a year and then try to get her back?
I would try doing a google search on pet friendly or Dobie friendly places. Such a shame that many out there still have a perception that Dobies are agressive or vicious. I would sooner live out of my car than give up my dogs if it came down to that point, but there's HAS to be some place....what about checking out homes for rent?
I'd be interested to know what other breeds are on that list. The Dobies in our SchH group are as sweet as can be (only off the field, of course <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ). The only place I've seen viscous dobermans is in bad movies.
If you've signed a lease already, can you can get out of it? Surely someplace there will accept your dog.
Where are you moving in Illinois? If you are coming to Chicago PM me and I can give you a couple of contacts who can help find a dog-friendly apartment for you. My fiancee and I just moved with our Doberman and our GSD. It takes work, but they are out there. There are many, MANY dog-friendly landlords/neighborhoods in Chicago.
We have found a solution for Anna our Dobe. A family with a very large horse farm is going to rent us a cottage on her land. With lots of room for Anna to run. About 1/2 hour from downtown Chicago.
We had not signed anything yet but lost our application fee (not a big deal we get to have our Annie).
To those that were intrested the other breeds that were on "the list" are as follows:
Doberman
Pit-Bull
German Sheppard
Rotweiller
Great Dane (?size maybe)
Beagle??
Chow Chow
Alaskan Malamute
Thank you to all that have read and gave their helpful suggestions.

I don't even WANT to know what you are paying in rent...and if it is anything less than 1800/month, more power to you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
