VINTAGE GREAT DANE: Carl Krone in Munich 1905 with his Great Dane.

🎬 "The Friend" Movie is Coming… But So Is a Flood of Neglected Great Danes 🆘🐾

A breathtaking, well-bred Harlequin Great Dane is about to steal the spotlight in The Friend. This dog is everything a Great Dane should be—stunning, well-trained, and carefully bred for health and temperament.

But here’s the problem: Backyard breeders and puppy mills are about to cash in.

📈 Every time a dog breed gets Hollywood fame, irresponsible breeders flood the market with puppies—bred without care, without health testing, and without a thought for where they’ll end up.

And when the novelty wears off? When those adorable puppies grow into giant, high-maintenance dogs?

💔 They flood the rescues.

⚠️ This is the reality we’ve seen again and again:
❌ Unethical breeders rush to produce puppies for quick cash.
❌ Owners realize Danes are expensive, anxious, and demanding.
❌ Rescues are overwhelmed with abandoned dogs.

Let’s be clear:
🐾 Great Danes are not just oversized dogs.
🐾 They are not low-maintenance.
🐾 They are not meant for impulse buyers.

They are giant, emotional, devoted family members who require proper breeding, lifelong medical care, space, patience, and commitment.

If this movie makes you want a Great Dane—stop and think.

🚨 Do not buy from a backyard breeder.
🚨 Do not get a Dane just because they "look cool."
🚨 Do not support unethical breeding that leads to suffering.

💛 Want to truly help? Donate to a Great Dane rescue. Support responsible breeders. Educate others before they make a mistake.

And most importantly—make sure every Great Dane gets what they deserve: A forever home that truly means forever.

There are Great Dane rescues across the US! One of my personal favorites is linked below. If you want help finding a local rescue to donate to please do hesitate to ask us.

Registered 501(c)3 non-profit. We rescue Great Danes throughout the Southeast!

These are the faces of Danes in need. These are the faces I have to look at each day and promise something that may never happen for them... the promise of a loving, committed, forever home. These are the faces I feel as though I disappoint and lie to daily when, day after day after day no apps come in for them. These are the faces of dogs I am committed to finding homes for, before bringing in ANY MORE DOGS that the public will deem as "safe" because "they've been rescued," and then forgotten. Only so everyone can move onto wanting to "save" the next batch of dogs in need. That's NOT how "rescue" works. The *rescue* organization is the middleman... we are here to provide them safety and refuge... get them vetted and healthy... learn about them and what their likes/dislikes, quirks, behaviors, etc., are like and then, help them move on to families of their own. Families that will see in them what their previous owners didn't. These are NOT meant to get *stuck* in a rescue organization indefinitely. The longer they stay, the less likely they are to get adopted (that's just fact). The longer they stay, the more rescue resources they consume, making it extremely difficult for rescues to stay afloat. The longer they stay, the greater the heartbreak, the burnout, the compassion fatigue and the overall decline in the mental health of the rescuer/s primarily responsible for caring for them.

Yes, it's been quiet over here lately... ODAAT is not well... I'M (Erika) NOT well... there is only so much one person can take DAILY and still remain positive and hopeful. You cannot pour from an empty glass... and this glass is bone dry. PLEASE, share our dogs! PLEASE, get the word out that we have some INCREDIBLE Danes in need of homes NOW.

We don't have the biggest following, but between IG and Facebook we have over 36,000 followers. Between 36,000 followers we don't have at least 10 local followers that are in a position to adopt or foster? How do we make this better?

PLEASE. SHARE.

P.S. Thank you to the handful of people that have reached out wondering "if I'm ok." It's means a lot... here's your answer. 💔
