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 wh

at 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

Dane Reality #6 Vet/medical costs
Bigger dogs mean higher vet bills and higher costs for things like heartworm preventative. Emergency costs can be overwhelming. Rescues are often contacted by owners who have hit the reality of these expenses and can not afford to have their danes treated. Being prepared for these regular and unexpected expenses are vital for your dane.
What are your average costs are per year for your danes? If you have had to treat your dane for something beyond the basics what was it and roughly how much did you spend?

"Teaching a dog to be comfortable and confident in situations without its owner is just as important as socialization and should be included as part of puppy training. In fact, it should be considered mandatory training for the dogs’ health; as we all know, a stressed Dane can be prone to bloat. An anxious Dane may injure himself trying to escape from a caregiver. Much of the stress and anxiety that comes from being parted from their owner can be prevented with some simply additions to puppy training and socialization."
