SND’s President, Steve Martin, is hoping that the excitement at this year’s National Specialty Show which celebrates the 100th anniversary of the loyal and Always Faithful Doberman, will help increase donations and shed more light on what SND does. Martin stated, “Many of these Dobermans, if not helped financially by SND, would have ended up in shelters or possibly euthanized because their families or rescue organizations could not afford to pay for their medical expenses. Even something simple like a broken limb, or an intestinal blockage could end up costing thousands of dollars – emergencies beyond the means of most families.”
SND is an unsalaried all-volunteer organization that is committed to continuing to help Dobermans in need – but they are struggling to be able to help as many, and give as much as they did in the past. Uniting together with rescue groups and members of the Doberman community, SND also helps Doberman owners by providing an online Yahoo Groups forum, the SND Café, in which helpful breed information, Dobermans available for adoption, and health and education is shared.
