| TAYLOR'S PAGE |
Alabama's Greater Birmingham Humane Society employees.........were pivotal in the demise of this Birmingham /
Jefferson County area Doberman puppy mill. The shelter supervisor later related to us that the puppy mill existed
in an extremely remote area. The society's supervisor felt that she was very lucky to locate this site.
Upon her discovery she immediately summoned local authorities to request backup. She further related the site
was squalid and involved a total of 31 Dobermans.
Whelping boxes were numerous and readily apparent. The adults were housed, running loose in a gutted mobile
home. The dogs were fed by a singular dumping of food on the floor of the structure.
Each dog fought for his share of food, the weaker, younger males showed signs of malnourishment, such as rickets.
Further investigation revealed this puppy miller often misrepresented themselves to the community as 'Doberman
rescuers'.
This is how we believe "Taylor" came to their possession, as Taylor knows all about fetch and he is obedient with
basic commands and eager to please. He is cautious and slow to warm with strangers, Taylor adores his foster
parents.
Terrified however of certain things. He will even fiend sickness and "limp" to get back in the safe "refuge" of his
covered crate.
Taylor's first year in rescue.......He constantly wet his crate as if to mark it, he even urinated on his food bowl
daily to mark that as his territory too.
Taylor's age is not known but the years he spent as top breed stock at the puppy mill have imprinted him
adversely. Some dogs handle the harsh treatment better than others.
Taylor enjoys his own company and prefers to remain in his area where he knows he is safe from attack. Although
Taylor is large and powerful, he is unstable and always threatened by the presence of other dogs, especially the
presence of other large black and tans. He is similarly terrified of car rides and anyone wearing a ball cap.
We are committed to provide Taylor with a life time no kill safe haven here at Doberman rescue. If you would
like to contribute to Taylor's cause, please contact his foster mom at Judy@Dobie-Rescue.org.
Toys are a big attraction for Taylor; he loves stuffed toys and ropes. These toys last a long time as he does not
chew them. Taylor also enjoys lightweight food bowls; He prances with the bowls to get your attention.
