The past few years have been hard.

I lost my home base. I had to rehome one of my Dobermans. I’ve been rebuilding from the ground up.

But through all of it, something’s kept me going:
A mission bigger than me—and bigger than dog training alone.

🐾 Willow’s Wish Doberman Rescue (WWDR) is the nonprofit I started to help Dobermans who don’t have anywhere else to go—especially dogs with behavior or medical issues that shelters won’t take, or will euthanize.

🖤 DoberMerch Designs (DMD) is my Doberman-themed gift shop, and it’s how I’m funding the rescue—every order helps cover vet bills, supplies, and long-term goals like opening a sanctuary.

Our very first save?
A young Doberman named Peralta (formerly Celeno) , mislabeled as aggressive and scheduled for euthanasia.
He wasn’t aggressive—just excited. He got a second chance, and now he’s thriving in his forever home.

This isn’t a typical rescue.​
WWDR exists for the misunderstood, the behaviorally complex, and the ones most rescues aren’t equipped to help.
The ones shelters walk away from—or euthanize.

My long-term vision is to open a Doberman boarding kennel and sanctuary.
Not just to house dogs—to help them heal.

Because Dobermans don’t cope well in shelters.
And because I know what it’s like to need help and feel like there’s nowhere to turn.

This rescue is here to change that—for the dogs, and for the people who love them.
