Wichita garage sale to raise money to help Doberman

Dobe & Dog Rescue, a nonprofit group that rescues Doberman pinschers and other dogs, is holding a garage sale June 18-20 to help a dog in need of medical care.

The sale, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through Saturday at 13th and St. Paul, will raise money for Jojo, a Doberman with arthritis and nerve damage that needs acupuncture and water therapy. The dog’s family could no longer afford the treatments and surrendered her to the Kansas Humane Society, said Carlene Hinton, president of the Wichita-based rescue group.

Jojo, a gentle “couch potato” dog, 7 years old, is available for adoption, but the group will keep her if the right family can’t be found, Hinton said.

Other money raised from the garage sale will go to fix up kennels so the group can help more dogs, Hinton said.
