Hi everyone! It's me, Captain Underpants (aka Percy). I've been doing pretty well since I last posted about my new life with my Foster Momma and my new fur brother and sister.

I've been learning more of the things called "rules," and I'm learning to get along with my fur brother and sister.....oh, and the thing they call a cat. We're doing pretty well. We LOVE to go on walks together, but Foster Momma says only two dogs at a time for some weirdo reason. But all that really means is more walks! (How can that be a bad thing?)

Remember my ugly tail with the open wound? I've been really dedicated about wearing my "Tail Saver" that our good friend Rachel sent to us, but the sad news is that my tail is not getting better. It is still open and sore, and I had to go back to that weird, smelly place called the vet the other day. I was just sitting there all innocent, and one of the people in weird outfits came in, and I felt a POKE! Then I got super sleepy. When I woke up, there was a new bandage on my tail, and Foster Momma took me home.

I've been spending they days since Monday sleeping a lot - Foster Momma keeps giving me medication that makes me super sleepy. Now Foster Momma says I have to go back to that smelly place on Monday and see that person called the vet again. Foster Momma says they are going to fix me right up. I heard them say something about cutting off part of my TAIL! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? I'm not so sure about this, but Foster Momma says this is the only way to get it to heal up good and proper. I'm not so sure.

The folks at For the Love of Danes Rescue could really use some help with my vet bills as they say it is SUPER expensive to help me get better.

***** The estimate for Captain Underpants' Partial Tail Amputation is $1760.15 to 1975.96. The bill for his vet visit on Monday was $590.46. ****

****AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION****

Name: Olive
Age: 18 months
Gender: Female
Location: Golden, BC

Heyyy! It’s me!
Your future best buddy and professional snuggler. 

My name is Olive, and I’m 18 months old.  I’m a super happy girl who just kinda floats through life like, “It’s fine! Everything’s fine!” I get along great with other dogs, cats, and even horses (yes, the big tall dogs!). I’m sweet, snuggly, super soft, and I don’t shed much compared to my foster brother,  he’s the shedder, not me 😄.  Oh, and I’m housebroken! 👍  And when you call me? I come running - like, full joyful zoom mode.

I grew up on lots of land, so walking on a leash and visiting crowded places is still kinda new to me. I’m learning! If things get a little tight or strange (like in cars or small indoor spaces), I might get protective, not because I’m mean, I just haven’t seen a lot of that stuff yet.

I’ve got energy like “let’s play, let’s go, what’s next?!” energy. I do best when I’ve got other pets or humans around to hang with.  But I am starting to love just lazying on the sofa too.   I am super affectionate and love attention and company. If I get bored, well… sometimes shoes look suspiciously like toys 🎉 (oops).

In a nutshell:
• Super sweet heart
• Housebroken + low shed + super soft
• Comes when called (with enthusiasm 😁)
• Adventure-ready zoomies
• Hugs for days
• Learning as I go
• Will steal your shoes… and also, your heart

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, playful buddy who wants to be part of everything you do, then hiiiiii - it’s me! 🐾💖

Hello again! This is Captain Underpants! Umm, I mean Percy.

Since my last check in, Foster Momma decided I'm still WAAAY TOO HAPPY and she had to calm my tail down more, so she stuck me in these stupid yoga pants with a DIAPER to help hold things together. The humiliation is REAL!!!

Fortunately, our Rescue Friend Rachel saved me from further humiliation by sending us a K9 Tailsaver, which is a game changer. My tail STILL tries to wag since I'm naturally happy, but it does not hit things.

Foster Momma says we are making progress, and she's happy. And you know what they say...when Momma's happy, everyone's happy!

She said to remind everyone that our clothing fundraiser ends on Thanksgiving Monday! That's only 4 more days to get your order in! You can see the store here:

HI! it's me, Percy again!

I have been to the vet, which was a little scary, I'm not going to lie. I had a BIG nap and woke up with the werido bandage on my tail. It's okay, I guess, but Foster Momma says I'm just TOO HAPPY 😍. Apparently, wagging my tail so much "lays waste" to the bandage, and it flips off and into the air!

Foster momma says the basement is NOT supposed to be "painted" with the red stuff leaking from my tail. The rescue lady came over, and we went for a walk today, and then she did THIS to me! I am NOT impressed wearing these weird things they call jammie pants 😒. So far, it's the only thing keeping my tail from wagging really hard and flipping off my bandage again.

Thanks for checking in. I'll write again when I have more to report

***WARNING GRAFFIC PHOTOS***

Percy made his way to the vet!

This poor guy is in so much pain. We are hoping that with fast action of our volunteers and all the treatment at the vet today, we can avoid a partial amputation. That being said, even with the happy tail being treated, there is always a risk of infection and need for emergency surgery to remove the infected tail. For now, we are staying positive, and hopefully, with his treatment today, we can get Percy on the road to recovery!!

We need help! With this large bill we have taken on today, we are completely out of funding. At this point, we will barely get by with the 8 Danes in care who need medical treatment, and we won't be able to help anymore unless we get these vet and kennel bills caught up. We never want to say no. We stretch every dollar and even put in a substantial amount of our own personal money, but we can not maintain things at this rate. Ways you can help:

Hi! I'm Percy 🐾

My buds Skye and Stella and I are currently residing at 780 Kennels. We've learned so much here that I'm pretty sure that we are ready to be in a home.....with our VERY OWN COUCHES.  

I'm so very happy to meet anyone who comes to visit me that I wag my tail really hard. Turns out that's not such a good thing. I now have what they call happy tail. So, I'm heading to the vet today to see what needs to be done to fix me up. I could really use a space to call my own to recover from my injury.

Stella is headed to her new home at Thanksgiving! YAY STELLA!!!

Skye is still working on trusting humans. He now has a few people that he trusts and knows that they won't hurt him. If we have anyone who would like to get to know Skye and become one of his regular visitors (admirer), please reach out to the rescue to set up a visit.

Our stays here have been awesome but expensive for our rescuers. We could REALLY use some donations to help pay off our kennel fees (a VERY reasonable $500/month/Dane). Stella and I have been here almost 3 months each, and that is $1500 each for a cost to the rescue ($4500 for the last 3 months). 

We've also taken in 4 other young Danes that all needed exams, shots, microchips, and some additional vet care.  As you Dane owners know, that is expensive. Most vets do not give a discount to rescues, so we are paying full price. 

Our funds are completely depleted, and we may have to turn away the next Dane that needs us.

Would you consider a donation? Any little bit will help. Donations can be emailed to [email protected] (it has auto deposit, so no password is needed).  

Thank you so much for reading my story and helping me and my friends at For the Love of Danes Rescue!

****FUNDRAISER ALERT****

We have been hard at work behind the scenes, getting our next fundraiser ready. We are so EXCITED to launch an apparel website that features new items!

We currently have 3 Danes in care, plus 3 more we just took in, and the requests for surrending don't stop. To be able to help our current intakes and future ones, we survive on our followers' support through donations and fundraising. The 3 new intakes will require immediate vetting for some concerning wounds and will need spay/neutures in the future.

Shop, shop, shop!! Make sure to load up on your FTLODR gear!! Here is the link to our online store, and it will remain open for 2 weeks. Help us help Dane 🐾🙏

https://ftlogreatdanesrescue.itemorder.com/shop/home/

As always, we appreciate all support, big or small, and donations can be emailed to our rescue email:
