Up for bid is a Christmas ornament that was donated to SCD, but I don't know who donated it.

It is 2 1/2 inches across, and appears to be made of stamped brass. Across the top is says: Doberman Pinscher, and the bottom says: Origin:Germany.

Also included in this auction package is a Dobermann statue that belonged to Ilene Moore. It is 6 3/4 inches tall. I believe it is made of Sandicast, but I'm not sure. It is fairly heavy.

Here is the story of Ilene:

Back in Dec. 2010, Ilene Moore's brother brutally murdered her over a disputed inheritance. If that wasn't bad enough, he then disposed of her body in Kensington park. Some of you may remember reading about it in the paper, or hearing of it on the news. Ilene was a dog lover, and Dobe owner. She was a volunteer for Michigan Humane Society. After hearing the story of her tragic death, they released this statement to the press: "The Michigan Humane Society is devastated at the news of this tragic loss. Ilene was an extremely caring and dedicated longtime MHS volunteer and will be greatly missed. We extend our deepest condolences to her family."

Somebody close to Ilene, donated some of her Doberman collection to Second Chance Dobes. We have decided to put them up for auction to raise money for SCD. We think that Ilene would be happy knowing her treasured collectibles were going to benefit the Dobermans that are awaiting their forever homes. If you are lucky enough to win any of these items; please remember Ilene, and the love she had for our breed, when you see them each day.
