Buying A Dog

Ok, I am sure I want a doberman, after getting some good advice from people on here and in the ‘real world’ :naughty: I’ve wanted one my whole life, but the rents wouldn’t allow it, so now that I have my own house I am…plus puppies are going from 1K-1600 a pup and that’s just way too much money for me to spend on a pup right now/ever?

I found this one at a local doberman rescue…Anyone know of any other rescue centers/volunteer centers around Western PA? This one has not responded to me in like 3 weeks…

There are a lot of shelters around as well, if you tell me where you live, I could name a few close to you.
This is MagicalMarge btw.

awww hes so cute. i only know of the north shore one and its pretty good.

I thought tryin to adopt a pet was a pain in the ass …u have to bring in all the faily members and everything

animal friends on camp hrn road opens in like three days 3-18-06, they should have some good picks

Not really. I’ve adopted in the past, not really an issue… They just ask if there are little kids in the house, etc… With him living by himself in a house, it shouldn’t really be an issue I wouldn’t think.

Good choice! I got my Pitt at the Animal Rescue League in the East Liberty area.

i got my cat from the animal rescue on the north shore. they didnt give me a hard time. but then again, dogs are diff than cats. hes cute as hell. did u look in the pennysaver? if u dont get it try www.pittsburghpennysaver.com and do a search. u can usually get a dobe puppy for like 250-350. but the ones from the shelter are always great to give a home to

thanks for the responses guys…

I live in Sq. Hill

I’ve been to Animal Rescue League in Sliberty/Point Breeze area on Hamilton Avenue, and all they have are Pit’s and Pit mixes…not my interest…

I found him here: http://www.petfinder.com/pet.cgi?action=2&pet=5629759

I’ve been seearching on petfinder for a month now, I actually emailed these people about 3 weeks ago and no response, so thanks to sonny I finally got a phone number for this place and left them a v-mail on monday. So, I am waiting a response…

I found several different ones. I dont’ really need a cropped one, but a docked one is a must.

This one is nice too but he is just a bit too old for me :frowning:

P.S. I own my own home so I don’t see it being a difficult time getting the dog. They can come to my house and all if they want :slight_smile:

You guys want to give me pointers on doggie insurance for health purposes and where to attain this, and a good vet?

I think I have a crate to help him train at first (thanks Pete) :slight_smile:

Anything else beside toys and a leash i should get/consider?

a vaccum and pet odor remover for the carpets…

and yes… he will mark his territory EVERYWHERE at first… :wink:

I’ll show him the ropes!

with peanut butter? :lickmahpu

i had a doberman puppy when i was a kid. super nice but got too hyper sometimes. cool as hell looking when they get older though.

All adoptions require an application, a home visit and a contract. No inquiries, including phone calls, will be processed without a completed application. You can fill out the application here.
You probably haven’t gotten a response because you haven’t filled out an application. When adopting a dog, they want your yard to be fenced in.

i’m picking up brutus my english bulldog in 2 weeks … found him on http://www.pupcity.com/

it was worth the 20 bucks for the year membership … make sure you get one from a breeder who has the parents there if your going that route
