Great Dane Rescue, Inc We have foster homes in MI, IN, IL, Toledo Ohio, and Ontario, Canada. R.E.S.P.E.C.T

Respect. It can mean so much to so many. And it's a simple thing. That's all.

When I think of rescued Danes, I think of the respect they deserve. They are adaptable, flexible, most of the time wonderful. They fit right in to the foster homes and their forever homes, as if they had been there all their lives. And considering circumstances some of them come from, you'd think respect would be an automatic reaction. But that doesn't always happen. Some people who are used to what the standard of the Dane says it should be may think that the colors they come in, or the shape they are in, or myriad other issues, aren't acceptable. Many of us have been at the receiving end of this problem and it hurts. We love these dogs - the ones that have come into rescue and the ones we have adopted. It's important to remember that "we didn't breed these dogs, we didn't have anything to do with selling these dogs. We didn't impulsively and ignorantly purchase these dogs." (Thanks to Val Maurer for her knowing words). We just brought these dogs into our rescue program, trying to give them a better life than they had before we knew them. Simple as that. No conspiracy. The fact that some of them are white and hearing, white and deaf, bear scars, have blue eyes, have brindle or fawn patches, are black and deaf (yep, we've had one of those too), or need more than the average amount of medical care, it doesn't matter to us, you see. We don't have a standard for rescued Danes - most breed rescues don't. Although we do see many beautiful show marked Danes as well. All we're trying to do is help the situation of homeless/unwanted/neglected Danes. So please, if you see us out somewhere with our charges, fosters or adopted companions, take the time to say something nice - or if that's not possible, please say nothing at all. So, in short, we make the decisions we do based on the facts we have at hand and also, with what's in our hearts. If you agree that's wonderful. If you don't, please respect our choices, but most of all, please respect the dogs. Sandy and the crew

Goose is doing great on the Zenrelia in addition to his allergy shots. His foster is keeping up on the bathing, ear washes, topicals and foot wipes as well. Goose has worn holes through the soles of three pairs of Wagwellies. He just loves being outside despite his allergies when the weather is nice. Overall, he’s still a big goofy happy lovey dovey boy.

Help us save more dogs like Goose! We’re raffling off a 5 ft skeleton and dog, a blow up bat Scooby and a Scooby toy and treats.

We have extended our Halloween raffle for GDRI

Meet Ty our newest foster. Despite losing his bonded brother, surviving getting hit by a car, and spending nearly a year in a shelter, all before turning 3, Ty is pure "happy-go-lucky." When our foster home rescued him from the shelter, he gave them a big kiss, hopped right into the car like he had been doing that his whole life.

Help us save more dogs like Ty! We’re raffling off a 5 ft skeleton and dog, a blow up bat Scooby and a Scooby toy and treats.
