Reese is 3-5 year old, cropped/docked, black and rust female Doberman.  She came to DRRI from a shelter in KY.  She was a victim of extreme abuse.  She was starved and then her owner attempted to hang her.  Luckily, she gained footing on a box and that's where she was when animal control arrived.

They cut her down and took her to the shelter when she had to wait 6 weeks while hearings were held against her previous owners.

Finally, she was released into foster care and then came to rescue a week later. 

It was obvious Reese was a very sweet girl the second we met her.  She was instantly drawn to my 5 year old niece.  I could not keep them apart.  Reese also loved to curl up in your lap and sleep.  She would literally curl up in a ball and sleep in your arms.  She is one of the sweetest dogs we have ever met for sure!

Reese was evaluated by a vet in KY and our vet here in PA.  It was obvious she had some dental issues that needed to be dealt with.  We scheduled her surgery and then asked our wonderful supports for some help financially.  Of course, our wonderful friends came through and we raised enough money to cover the cost of Reese's surgery!  Thank you all so very much for your help!  We could not have done it without you!

Reese was adopted by a fabulous family!  Her new mom and dad love her more than words can express.  She also gained a canine brother Riley! 

Reese is truly in a beautiful home with a beautiful family.  She will never have to worry about being harmed again.

Thank you Michelle and Michael!
