I recently moved to Huntersville with my 10 year old son, 5 year old female Doberman, 5 year old Dachshund, & 4 year old mini lop rabbit. We moved into my boyfriend's townhouse, planning to immediately give a 60 day notice, get out of the lease, & rent a house. The powers that be at the apartment community have found out about my Doberman (thanks to a nosy, good for nothing neighbor) and have insisted that she be off the property by tomorrow or they will begin eviction proceedings. She is my baby. I have had her since she was 9 weeks old- her 6th birthday is coming up at the end of next month. I will not permanently part with her, but we have to find somewhere to keep her for at least the next 60 days while we serve out our notice. She is fully housebroken and has been through basic obedience training. She is spayed, completely healthy, and up to date on all shots and heartworm preventive. She is an absolute gem. Everyone who meets her adores her. She has been in city Christmas parades, won costume contests at Halloween events...this is not an aggressive dog who deserves to be feared and treated this way. I can't stand the thought of parting with her at all- even for 2 months- but I am left with little choice on such short notice. I am looking into extended term boarding but would much prefer to find someone who may be willing to take her in. She is not used to being alone and doesn't deserve to spend the next 2 months in a cage. If anyone may be able to help me, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE email me at uneek5555@aol.com and let me know ASAP. I have somewhere for her to stay through the weekend but must find a short term solution beyond that. I will, of course provide food and am willing to compensate someone who will take her in and take care of her for me...not to mention "pay it forward" or pay back the favor as soon as I'm in a position to do so.

I'm sorry. I feel bad for your Doberman. Perhaps the landlord will just let you out of the lease now and make it easier on everyone involved. Good Luck.
I actually contacted the Rescue in Raleigh last night. Unfortunately, they aren't much help since they are outside of our area. I will contact the triad group now though...maybe I'll get lucky. I wish we could just get out of our lease. We have to give at least 60 days notice- no way around it. There's no payout clause, no nothing. Even WITH a 60 day notice if the apartment is not re-rented immediately, we are responsible for paying out the remainder of the lease (which ends in July). Thanks for your input.
this is not an aggressive dog who deserves to be feared and treated this way. .
Oh please, that's what all pitbull owners say also....
You broke the rules in your apartment complex by having a doberman. Then you got busted and you blame your neighbors??? (sure, like everybody in today's society...not MY fault / lets blame someone else...)
Now you want to pass this dog off to a stranger? God forbid that animal bites its temporary owner, and you sister are going to jail for a long time.
Are you nuts with your post????
Nice job of taking responsibility for the problem you created.

Please come back and let us know what you worked out. I have trained dogs and am not afraid of working w/ dobes and rotties. Sadly, they have a bad rep but my g/mother had one so I grew up w/ a dobe and she was the sweetest girl . . . never even snapped at anyone her whole life. It all has to do w/ breeding and training.
I hope you figure things out. Board her temporarily and keep hunting. Sometimes, you just have to make the best of a tough situation.
I will ask around - I have friends who work w/ animal rescue but right now - they are all topped out w/ foster families. Keep hunting.
