Introducing the handsome Diesel!

Diesel has been with us for a few weeks while his carer got to know him and learned more about his needs and wants! This gorgeous boy is a 3&1/2yo Merle hunk of loveliness.

Diesel has had a fairly sheltered life from what we can work out and has had limited experience with dogs, other than those he lived with. To be honest, the carer and I feel he would be happiest as an only dog with no other pets. He isn't too bad to walk but you do need to be aware of what and who is around as he really doesn't cope too well if other dogs, particularly larger dogs, are too close. He will need a firm handler who will let him know they are in charge not him. To be quite honest we feel he would be happy to spend most of his time at home and only go out for the occasional walk.

Diesel loves people and one of his absolute favourite past times is to snuggle with his people. He is such a smooch. He wants to please and get lots of love. Diesel has lived with teenagers but we feel he would be fine with Dane savvy older children. Diesel loves to play with his toys. He really is such a happy boy.

Diesel is not suitable for life as a farm boy. He needs good suburban fencing. He doesn’t like being bathed but loves going to the vet as he is the centre of attention. Overall Diesel is a very sweet boy who wants a family who will spoil him and include him in their life.

If you think that Diesel is the boy for you, please email us at [email protected] for our potential home questionnaire or to let us know we already have your paperwork. Once the paperwork is back we can add you to Diesel’s prospective family list. We do our best to match our Danes with their new family.

Foster Carer needed ASAP!

We have a nearly 2yo female Dane, Tina who needs to come into foster care. She is a lovely soul but is not getting on with the other female dog in her home. I have met this girl, she is sweet, loving and wants to please. She would do well in an only dog situation as long as she is not left for too long on her own or in a home with a sensible friendly larger breed boy to keep her company. She has lived with children and is great with them. Tina has also lived with a cat but will chase them if they run.

Tina's family are heartbroken by the situation they are in but they want what is best for both of their girls and this is the only way they can achieve this for the girls.

If you would like to help Tina, please email [email protected] for a foster questionnaire to complete and return with photos as outlined in the questionnaire.

Dozer - 3-4yo Merle Dane X Male

Our gorgeous boy, Dozer is looking for a new foster home or even better a forever home. He is still a bit of a work in progress and just wants to please. Dozer has come so far with his current carer, however, they are probably having to move due to work commitments and don't know what their living arrangements will be once they move so are unable to take him with them. They are also concerned that they don't have enough time to give him currently due to their busy life. Dozer is good on lead and currently living with a Dane girl. They get on so well. He has done well with other dogs he has encountered. We have no idea how he is with cats.

If you would like to help Dozer or offer him a forever family, please email [email protected] for either a foster or potential home questionnaire to complete and return with photos as outlined in the questionnaire.

Happy New Year!

Sorry, this post is a bit late - May the end of your 2023 and the start to your 2024 have been better than mine and Rescue's.

Sadly my Christmas day started with the phone call none of us want - our forever foster girl, Lexy was bloating. Sadly, Lexy gained her wings on the way to the vet. Lexy was a very sweet girl, about 10 years old and had a very happy life with her forever foster family while she was in our care. Lexy came and stayed with me Christmas Day until we could get her to our wonderful friends, Kevin and Julie at Elysium Fields Pet Cremations - Melbourne on Boxing Day.

Sadly my own senior kitty, Thomas, gained his wings a couple of days after New Years. He was such a sweet old man with a cranky side that all the dogs and our Bengal knew to avoid. The only animal that he seemed to like was my new Dane, Poppy.

Yesterday, I received the news that the gorgeous Mr Jenkins had passed away. He was about 10 years old when he passed. Jenkins had the most amazing life with his family for the last 6 years or so.

2023 was a difficult year for me personally, my beautiful, gentle, sweet girl Calli passed away in September. She had been diagnosed with a massive tumor at the end of February. We thought we would be saying goodbye then, but Calli had other ideas and gave me 7 more months of love and happiness. My health was not the best last year, and I had a couple of stays in hospital, another bout of COVID and other medical issues. All of this meant my focus was taken away from Rescue for a large part.

Behind the scenes in Rescue, there were a few medical issues we dealt with for our forever fosters and a quite a bit of moving Danes around into new foster homes. Hopefully from here on in things will be a bit more manageable this year and I won't have as much drama. Please know, my focus for the start of this year is to get some of our long term fosters into their loving forever families. GDRV has been blessed with a core team of foster carers who have cared for their charges so well.

May your 2024 be happy and full of love.

Yvonne
