George and his sibling dog were outdoors at their home near Swift Falls, MN when George went missing. The area around Swift Falls, Sunburg and Murdock is very rural and so far, there have been no sightings of this much loved boy. His family is working hard to get him home. Please keep an eye out for George and call the number with any sightings.

Hello everyone! I’m sure we are all excited to start seeing signs of spring!

I just want to fill everyone in with some upcoming changes.

Beginning in April, my grooming schedule will be limited to M-W, 8-5. This schedule change will be in effect indefinitely. I will still be available for pet sitting on non-grooming days. This change is so I can spend more time with my family, and to persue other interests. Please know that I will not be quitting grooming, just limiting my schedule. If this does not work for you, please contact me and I will get you a referral to another groomer.

In talking with other groomers, I have realized my prices are not competitive with theirs, so a price change will be in effect immediately. Grooming prices will be a minimum of $65 plus tax. I will not be giving any discounts. If you feel this is out of the question for you to pay, I urge you to shop around to other groomers.

I have had issues getting payment for both grooming and pet sitting, so from now on grooming payments must be complete before dog is picked up. Pet sitting must be paid at drop off, not when dogs are picked up. Also, I will no longer be accepting Venmo as payment for services. I still be accepting cash, check, and cards.

All grooming dogs must be picked up by 5:00. There will be a per minute charge after this time.

Drop off times before 8:00 must be arranged ahead of the appointment. I will no longer be accepting dogs past appointment times as well. If you arrive early to your appointment, I ask that you please wait outside until I call you in.

With a client list of still nearly 200, I urge you all to rebook your next appointment. With a limited schedule, spaces will be limited and I won’t be able to get you in as easily. Please remember I don’t do “speed” grooming and your dog will be here a minimum of 3 hours for their appointment.

I will also be charging fees accordingly from here on out. Additional fees will be added to the grooming for dematting, special handing, and parasites. If your dog comes in with parasites such as fleas, ticks, and worms, I will expect them to immediately be picked up. This exposes every other pet in my shop, so they will not be allowed to stay. There will also be a minimum $25 fee for cleaning and pest treatment. There will also be up to a $5 fee per tick for removal/disposal.

I want to thank you all for your business over the last 6 years, and looking forward to many more! Happy Spring!

If you are able to help our rescue, please do! We are in desperate need of foster homes!

Upper Midwest Great Dane Rescue, is saddened to announce that our Intake for Great Danes will be temporarily freezing starting today, December 1, 2022. This decision has not been made lightly and we hope that it can be changed in the very near future.

Our Rescue needs three resources to survive these tough times:
• Foster Homes for all the Great Danes needing our help - maybe you know of someone that wants to help?
• Adoptive Homes willing to see the perfection and beauty in our imperfect fosters
• Funds to afford medical care and training. The current average cost per Great Dane in Rescue is nearly $2000 per dog!

To help understand how difficult things have gotten, I think it is important to share some critical numbers with you.
Dogs Rolled Over from Previous Years
2019 – 2020: 26
2020 – 2021: 25
2021 – 2022: 54

New Great Danes Added
2019: 93
2020: 122
2021: 123
2022: 129

Great Dane Adoption Returns
2019: 4
2020: 10
2021: 6
2022: 18*

We will ABSOLUTELY answer your calls, give you other resources to try AND we will be keeping a waiting list of Great Danes in need. We will be re-evaluating our situation weekly until we can re-open Intake once again. With your support we believe that we can survive these tough times.

Heartbrokenly Yours,
The Upper Midwest Great Dane Rescue Board of Directors
