Working with Friends of Northern Dobermanns (F.O.N.D.)
Having known Pam Hall for some time and being well aware of her committment to the welfare of Dobermanns, I was delighted to hear at the beginning of 2011 that she was establishing an organisation to help Dobermanns, particularly in the North of England and Scotland, who are in need of rehoming or perhaps need help in other ways. I was even more delighted that my offer of help was accepted.
Very soon afterwards, we found ourselves taking Holly, a six year old bitch who was desperate for a temporary home. She came to us for just on a fortnight and we loved having her with us. 
With a wonderful temperament, she reminded us very much of of our own Dobermann, Lucy, who had died seven years earlier. Holly is the first Dobermann we've had in the house since, so we've taken a particular interest in her.
I'm very pleased to say that she now lives with a wonderful family in Yorkshire and I have no doubt she's already a much-loved member of the family.
You can read a bit more about Holly - and many other wonderful Dobermanns in need of a new home by visiting the Friends of Northern Dobermanns (F.O.N.D) website
**NEW** Having just retired from full-time work, I can now offer dog walking, dog sitting and other ways of helping care for your dog during those times when you really need it. Obviously, Dobermanns are very welcome! Please go to my Dogs at Home pages for more information. (Merseyside area)
