Doberman Rescue Of Rockdale, INC

"Brief were my days among you

I now go with the wind

Be not down with sadness

I'm back where I began."

                                         Astro 

                    (Rescued March 2000 - Died May 28, 2009)

On May 28th, 2009 Carole lost her beloved Astro to Lymphoma.  Astro was rescued from animal control in 2000, weighing less than 50lbs.  The vets and I did not think that he was going to survive. His body literally shook for a year. We had no idea what his history was, but we knew it wasn't good. But he rallied.

He became Carole's constant companion. They visited schools, businesses, and nursing homes.  Astro loved everyone and everyone loved him. He welcomed every new rescue into his home as if to say, "It is okay, you are safe now."

Carole loves all her dogs, but she will never love any dog the way she loved Astro. They were truly soul mates. He was smarter than most people and could read people instinctively.

"He was my precious boy, and truly a Noble Doberman in every sense of the word. I know there will be no Thunderstorms in Heaven with you there. Rest... My Precious boy,      Mom

When Dolly was rescued, Carole not only fell in love with her, so did her male dobie, Astro. Dolly passed away in 2006 of Mesotheoloma.

Caesar was Carole's Hero. He was her Champion German Shepherd.
