Meet Link – A Doberman Left Behind, but Not Forgotten

Link is a 3-year-old male Doberman who was surrendered to a shelter by a backyard breeder, along with Truly. Despite being AKC registered, this handsome boy was minutes from an unnecessary and heartbreaking end—through no fault of his own.

Thankfully, Link was rescued just in time. Now, he’s safe… but still waiting for the love and comfort he’s never truly known. Until a foster home steps up, Link will be staying at a boarding facility in Buffalo, MN, dreaming of a soft bed, a gentle hand, and a family to call his own.

Dog-friendly and sweet-natured, Link has so much love to give. He just needs someone to show him the ropes, offer patience, and help him discover all the beauty life has to offer beyond a kennel run and a chain-link fence.

Please consider fostering Link and giving this beautiful boy the fresh start he deserves.
Let’s help him begin his journey into the world of human kindness—one step, one cuddle, one kind soul at a time. www.uniteddobermanrescue.org
