05/26/2024

Allow us a moment to acknowledge and thank all our followers. We are a volunteer based, non-profit Great Dane rescue and adoption program operating in MN, WI, IA, ND & SD that greatly appreciates ALL our adoption applicants, contributors, volunteers and associated services. We are doing the very best we can to take in, care for/rehabilitate, then prepare/screen/educate appropriate adoption homes for as many Great Danes in need as we can. We apologize for disapointments, delays or confusions in the process.

As there seems to be some confusion about our adoption process, here are a couple clarifications and a link to the page on our website that fully describe the process.

Please note that an application does not constitute a hold on any specific available dog but is an application to become approved to adopt from our rescue. Approval may take up to 3-8 weeks as it includes receiving the online adoption application & fee, contacting and receiving your references, arranging and having a home visit and then that report submitted to the coordinator. Those things must be reviewed and then the applicant is contacted regarding their approval status. We are all volunteers and work on completing this process as promotly as possible. Once an applicant is approved with our rescue, they then may officially indicate interest in one of our Great Danes available for adoption by emailing the designated placement coordinator noted in the instructions on that dog's website profile bio. The placement coordinator will become your contact regarding that specific dog and the process.

At this time, we are able to honor applications from the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Northern Illinois and Upper Michigan. All other states will be considered on a case by case basis. Please email [email protected] for more information.

Today we laid to rest Fiona....
She came into rescue just over one year and one month ago today and was the 32nd Dane of 2023. Found abandoned and unwanted in her Senior years, we took one look at those silly ears and sad eyes and simply couldn't say no. Even though she didn't get adopted....she definitely found her home. She was deeply loved for the past year and will leave a huge hole behind her.

From the Family who love and cared for her:
"In our hearts, I think we knew the moment we picked her up, that we were going to be her furever home. She had a rough start to life before she came to us, but man did we love her. Best year of her life. 🌈"

Thank you for loving her. Thank you for allowing her to be a part of your live and Ms. Fiona, thank you for giving us the best of you.
You have now joined one of the best packs of Dogs in Heaven.
May you finally run free of pain over the Rainbow Bridge.
Until We Meet Again.....

Rescue is hard....rescue is heartbreaking...sometimes rescue means the hardest and most unfair of good-byes....

The Great Dane Rescue of MN & WI and The Great Dane Sanctuary made the terrible announcement yesterday that they will be closing their doors. Many rescues have been devastated post-Covid. The sheer increase of animals that we are inundated with, coupled with the rising cost of care has broken some of the best people and rescues that I have had the privilege of knowing.

This one hurts more than most as this rescue came from the same humble beginnings as Upper Midwest Great Dane Rescue. We share history, stories, volunteers, tears, joy and so much more. They have been our "greatest" cheerleader through the toughest times and knowing that they won't be there....the tears just won't stop....

It's not too late to still help care for the remaining dogs in their care though and this post is to help them. Every Single Dollar Helps. Please.

We are so happy to announce that JJ and his older sister Mia were adopted by their foster parents into the best happy ending possible🐾❤🐾

This bonded pair came into our rescue a year and a half ago. They have been in a truly amazing foster home that lovingly and patiently worked with their joys and challenges while trying to find them a right fit adoptive home. Just look at the photos.....JJ and Mia continued to hint that they were happy and already at home THEN & NOW. Their amazing foster parents agreed and adopted them to make them the permenent family members that they already knew they were.
