If you follow our page, you are familiar with the Globetrotting Danes. Originally there were two, discarded breeder dogs, so badly neglected, I wasn't sure they would survive when they came into rescue. Survive they did and they were adopted by a wonderful couple with multiple houses that they got to visit and frolic in. Over the years, we have shared many photos of their adventures.
They recovered well from their neglect, but the one thing we couldn't change was the damage the heartworms had done to their organs. Sadly Romulus passed away in 2023 and Mini Moo or Minerva passed yesterday. Both from heart failure, their bodies just couldn't repair the damage from the worms. Their parents are devastated over her loss. Recently they have added a couple new members to the Globetrotting Danes, but none will replace Rom & Minerva, the sweetest dogs you will ever come across.
This tribute is to them, but also to ALL the dogs used as backyard breeders and then discarded. Many have never seen a vet or lived inside a home.
Run free Rom and Minerva - together again, pain free. You were well loved.
The dogs pictured could certainly use a forever home. We know everyone is busy this time of year, but take a minute to look at these faces and realize what it's like for them living in rescue - not having a family or home of their own. Wondering why they no longer have a home and what they did wrong for their people to leave them alone. We can't explain to them that in a couple of cases, they were surrendered for their own good from situations that were unhealthy or dangerous for them.
Please like, share and comment on our posts to help improve our placement on social media platforms. All of these dogs are available to be viewed on our website - flgdr.org. Applications can be completed right there online.

GIVING TUESDAY
It’s Giving Tuesday and we need your help. The dogs in this video have been saved by Florida Giant Dog Rescue. Most have found their forever homes, a few are still waiting.
This year has been taxing on the rescue in more ways than one. Many, many of the dogs we took in needed veterinary care. Our vet bills are through the roof and the truth is - we can’t keep saving the medical cases without your help. In one month alone our vet charges were over $6000 - that was just 3 dogs. Won't you help us out be making a small donation?
Pick out your favorite photo of your pup and post it on our wall of love when making your donation. The link below will take you to our wall of love. We have also posted our Venmo, PayPal and website donation page for your convenience. EVERY cent goes to the dogs, this is an all volunteer organization and 501c3.

Tuesday is Giving Tuesday and many, many requests will flood your feed for donations. We are one of many reputable charities that will be asking for your help.
Rescues all over the country are closing from lack of funds, volunteers, fosters, adopters or simply burn out. What we do is stressful, emotionally taxing and not to mention expensive. We do our best to make sure the dogs in our care get the veterinary help they need, some long term, some are seniors and the list of reasons just goes on.
If everyone reading this post, gave a couple of dollars, we would reach our goal in no time. We understand that times have been hard, especially in Florida with back to back hurricanes, we have taken in dogs that no longer have homes because of it.
Won't you please help us out? The link below will take you to our giving grid where you can post a photo of your pet (past or present) to honor them with your donation. Everyone involved with FLGDR thanks you and the dogs your are currently helping and those to come owe you their lives.

Another of our Florida Giant Dog Rescue alumni has crossed the rainbow bridge. Thor came to us as a 10 year old Great Dane when his original owner left him in the garage - because he was getting old.
Thor got the necessary vet care and was able to go on to live a wonderful life with his adoptive parents. This is what his mom had to say:
"I just wanted to let you know that we said our tearful goodbyes to Thor very early this morning. He was diagnosed with mega-esophagus a few weeks ago, and he’s been rapidly declining since then. We’ve had multiple quality-of-life conversations over the past few weeks, and then early this morning, he showed symptoms of bloat. It wasn’t a hard decision to end his pain and discomfort with his age related issues and other symptoms from mega-e.
Thank you for letting us love him. He was a sweet and gentle soul, and he has left huge paw prints on our hearts ❤️"
The ultimate act of love. We would like to thank his parents for all they did for Thor and we grieve along with you. Wishing peace and comfort.
