OZR Great Dane Rescue, Inc

Hi everyone!

Apparently we are being tagged to scam people.

Just a reminder that we are closed. When we were open, we were never in the breeding game, but did take some pregnant mamas in and have puppies.

Because we aren’t directly tagged, and are just mentioned, we can’t really do anything. If you see these posts, or ones like them, I’d encourage you to report them to the group admins for that group/page.

Hello OZR Family!

We started this rescue in 2017, and it’s been a great run. Over the years, we’ve saved, provided medical care, and adopted hundreds of Great Danes and many honorary Danes. It has been an absolute joy for us to do this work.

Most of you know that we are 100% volunteer and donation based. Times are tough now, and over the past year to year and a half, it’s been very difficult to find fosters, volunteers, and funds. As a result, back in August during the quarterly board meeting, a decision was made to close the rescue once the last dog in our care was adopted. We had voted to be closed for intakes the previous quarter. Our hearts hurt to realize that we have reached the end of our journey.

We’ve been so blessed to have had such a strong community and family during the years that we operated. There were so many times that we rallied together to make things happen for the dogs in our care; emergency medical needs, Dane trains, fosters to whelp pregnant intakes, you name it!
We have always been about doing what was best for the dog, and we hope that spirit will carry on with all of you.

This board has also always operated under the promise of transparency. That being said, we want to share the plans for the remaining funds that we have. We have always carried insurance at a cost of $268.81 per month, and we have a software membership that helps us track the dogs in our care, new owner info, and chip/vaccine/medical info at a cost of $380 per year. We just renewed that software membership for the next year, and we are continuing to carry the insurance for the next few months. Once all final expenses are accounted for, We will be donating the remaining to other Dane rescues in our area; splitting between Anna at Great Dane Rescue of South Florida and Katie at Northwest Florida Great Dane Rescue. It is our intention to disburse those funds near the end of this year, so we can be sure to cover the financial commitments we have. We will post an update on how much is donated to each rescue once we have those numbers.

If you’re still looking to volunteer with a Dane rescue and you’re in Florida, as many of our family and followers are, we would encourage you to reach out to those organizations as they’re struggling to keep up with the demands as well.

If you have a Dane you are looking to return or surrender, we would encourage you to make sure you do all the steps before reaching out to other rescues in your area who are overflowing with demand. Invest in professional training classes, visit the vet for an evaluation and possible blood work if there’s a sudden behavior change, work with a trainer in your home if you’ve introduced a baby and things aren’t going Instagram perfect.

It has been our privilege to work with this community, to educate, and to promote the betterment of this breed. We hope that our community will continue to rally and will place their support with other rescue organizations who do desperately need it.

A huge thank you to those who have supported us through the years and to those who have adopted from us. You have made this adventure successful!

🦴🧸🎾🐕🐾

Have you ever wanted to constantly pick up toys because your dog has the attention span of a gnat??

Have you ever wanted a dog that you nicknamed “big bo**ie Judy??”

What are your thoughts on snuggly love bugs who don’t understand personal space??

Ladies and gentlemen, if you found yourself answering in the affirmative on any of these questions, Bailey may be perfect for you!!

She’s our only Dane in foster. We are posting her DAILY and asking for share’s because we are just baffled that she hasn’t found her furever yet.

Visit www.ozrdanereescue.com/adopt to start the conversation!

Daily Bailey wants to show off how many “dane “ things she can do at one. I spy zoomies, playing with her foster brother, and playing some fetch. This is one multi talented dog! Please share so we can find her a furever home that is worthy of her.

Today’s Daily Bailey reminds us that snugs are important, even if you are a big ol 106 lb doggo. Those snugs could be yours! ozrdanerescue.com/forms

It’s your Daily Bailey coming at you with FriYAY energy!!

Bailey is still looking for her furever home (though we do have an applicant that we are talking to Monday 🤞🤞🤞). Please share Bailey from one of our 3 public platforms so we can get her as much exposure as possible.

She would do best in a home with children ages 5 and above, no female dogs, and hers is not a cat 🐈 “person.”

Daily Bailey here with my daily check in (see what I did there, I’m such a smart 🐶)! I love to have zoomies, and play catch, and romp around outside, but I also have a softer side (like Sears, for those of you old enough to remember). I LOVE snuggling with moderately aged hoomans, small, but not tiny. I give the best snuggles, and I’d love to share them with you! Please share to help me find my furever!

It’s your Daily Bailey!!

Bailey is on the prowl for a new place to call her own.

She needs move pretty urgently due to medical reasons with her foster family and we are quickly running out of time, and obviously have no options.

Bailey needs a home that has children 5 years or older. She needs to be the Queen and therefore won’t mix with other female dogs. She does have a prey drive so no cats, chickens or rabbits.

What’s amazing about Bailey: she has an adorable tennis ball obsession, she llloooovvveeesss her people and we are pretty sure her picture is in the dictionary next to “Velcro,” she is a love bug and wants to please.

Please share her. We have 2 public FB and our IG is public too. There’s only 1 private group, so if you see this in the private group, please go to one of our public options to share. We are almost out of time, and Bailey desperately needs your help!

Are you an active person??

Do you like personal space invasions??

Daily Bailey is looking for her furever home, by any means necessary, apparently:). This girl is currently being fostered in Powder Speings, GA, and is UTD on all her vaccines. She loves hoomans (ages 5 and up, we don’t realize how big we are), and submissive dogs are good, too, she loves to play. Cats, bunnies, chickens, all things to avoid with Miss Bailey. To adopt her please go to ozrdanerescue.com/forms

Are you looking for someone to invade your personal space with hugs and cuddles? If so, Daily Bailey is your girl! She’s spayed, she’s UTD on vaccines, she’s ready to be your number one gal!

Some of our members in Florida are considering packing up and hitting the road due to the incoming storm.

Do you know who else is packed up and ready to hit the road??

Bailey!!

She’s in pretty urgent need of an adopter or foster due to changing health needs of her foster family. Hers is such a good car rider… don’t you want a co-pilot like Bailey??

Nah, it’s just your daily Bailey!!

This girl needs a strong leader, no female pets, and no cats or chickens or rabbits….

She does do well with other dogs that are submissive and older children. She’s still looking for her furever… are you it??
