 Hi!
My name is Catherine Maroney. I got involved in the
Doberman breed 23 years ago with my first Doberman,
Roxie. Since then I've owned 5 dogs myself and fostered
many others. It has been a total pleasure inviting these
dogs into my home to live with my dogs for a while. It's
so hard to see every one of them go! My little girl,
Taylor, loves the dogs too and is huge help feeding,
playing with and walking them, We'll never own another
breed. |

 Barb
and Tim Kelly have adopted two special needs dogs and
have just as importantly opened their home and hearts to
foster care. They are invaluable rescue partners. The
Kellys, and many others like them, are integral to the
survival and success of any rescue group, and we are
fortunate to have them. |

I originally started falling in love with
Dobermans when I worked with a company that rented out
guard dogs. I noticed that the Dobermans were the most
stable, predictable of all of the 150+ dogs that the
guard dog company owned, and looked forward to working
with them. I handled several Doberman teams that I
really fell in love with. As far as my background, I
worked with 2 guard dogs companies for about a total of
3 years, handling Rotts, Shepherds, Akitas, Dobermans
and Pitt Bulls. I went from there to working in a
boarding kennel for 2 years. I bought my first Doberman
in 1988, and owned her for 13 years. She and I enjoyed
doing Schutzhund for approximately 6 years, where I
handled her and was also a helper. I have done Obedience
and Tracking, and have helped Doberman Rescue for about
3 years now. Shuttling dogs back and forth for Chuck,
and doing a little fostering. I already have 5 dogs of
my own(3 dobies and 2 small mixes), so I figure "what is
one more every once in a while?" |

While I truly enjoy the work I do at the
Longmont Humane Society, after hearing about the
Doberman Rescue, I felt drawn to it. During my
childhood, my family had a pair of Dobermans - Bacchus,
a male and Becky, a female. While Bacchus was patient,
stoic and tolerant towards the antics of my brother and
I, it was Becky who was the mother-hen. Neither of
Becky’s "kids" could go anywhere or do anything without
her being right there with them to make sure they were
safe and protected.
I experienced and came to appreciate and understand what
wonderful, loving and devoted pets Dobermans can be.
Over the years I also came to understand how terribly
misunderstood they often are. I feel that any dog
treated with patience, love and respect can be a gentle
member of the family. I think all animals can be
loveable if you treat them with love and patience and
provide appropriate training. And, I've had lots and
lots of practice on the many, many animals I've had and
loved over the years.
I continue to work at the humane society but now devote
as much free time as I can to Doberman Rescue doing
whatever I can to assist in placing the dogs with the
right people in the right homes. And I dedicate my time
to the Doberman Rescue in honor of Becky and Bacchus,
who played a large part in who I am today. |
