Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Decrease the number of homeless Dobermans who have been abandoned or found themselves without a home. Our goal it to further help Dobermans and other animals locally in Minnesota, and places that may be overburdened by helping other rescues. Networking and working in conjunction with other groups and shelters co-cohesively, will have the greatest impact on the homeless animals.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Doberman Rescue and Placement
We are a home based foster meaning we do not have a shelter. Our rescued Dobermans live with families until they are adopted, learning and being loved as one of our own dogs. All adoptable Dobermans are fully vetted, altered and micro-chipped prior to adoption.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Finding homes for all animals that come through our program, ensuring every animal is altered so as not to reproduce and further burden an already overwhelming number of homeless animals without a home.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Increase the need for spay and neuter programs across the nation and make people aware of the need to get their pets spayed and neutered.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Altering every animals that comes into our rescue before placing them into forever homes.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
UDR has spayed and neutered hundreds of animals and will continue to do so, preventing many unwanted litters, thus reducing the burden on the homeless animal population but there is so much more work to do.
