Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our dogs. To begin the adoption process, please fill out the form below and return by email to: or by post to:: Pam Hall, Rehoming Co-ordinator, The Manse, Lonmay, By Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire AB43 8UJ

A donation is required when adopting a FOND Dobermann this is not for the dog’s purchase but a contribution towards kennel fees, veterinary treatments and enables us to help more dogs. The minimum, non-returnable fee is £140.00. The organisation is run entirely by volunteers who receive no payment for their services, all funds are used to care for our dogs.

Friends of Northern Dobermanns will try to ensure that the needs of each individual dog and prospective owner are met. In order to assist us please complete this form honestly and with as much information as possible. On receipt, our co-ordinator will be in touch with you to discuss adoption and if successful organise a home check.
