For the Love of Danes Rescue Society

🎉 SUCCESS STORY 🎉

For this we wanted to share a special success story.

A while back, this handsome fella came into care. He was underweight and very timid, but with the amazing volunteers we have, we found the perfect foster. His foster mom instantly fell in love. At first, Gem was more accepting of the 3 tiny humans and cats in the home. He just didn't trust his foster mom. She was patient and gave him the time he needed. After a few days, he started to open up to her. Day after day, everyone in the home fell more in love with Gem. He was equally in love, which inevitably led to the decision for him to stay forever. We love a foster win 🐾🙏💙

Gem adores his new mom and 3 tiny humans. He waits for them to get off the bus after school. He never leaves their side, and has really taken his role as official snuggler serious. He makes the best pillow 👌

Sometimes, he has an identity crisis and thinks he is a cat. He sits in their bins 🤣

Gem is the literal definition of "living his best life."

Gem and all the other Danes we take into care wouldn't be possible without the support of our followers and community. We can not say THANK YOU enough and hope that you can continue to support us. Times are tough. There is no lack of need out there, but if you are able to donate, you can email to our rescue email [email protected] or check out or apparel fundraiser

Every dollar gets put into the care of our Danes. We are currently at 28 DANES for the year. That is a RECORD BREAKING number for us. We have had a very busy, stressful, and rewarding year helping as many Danes as we have. We are a small team of 4 who do all of this on our own volunteer time. We are so thankful for all of the foster and adopter applications we received. Our rescue social media following grew over 1000 followers on Facebook,and our new Instagram page continues to grow each day.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! 💙🙏

GUESS WHO GOT THERE CHRISTMAS WISH??? 🎄🎅

Oh how our hearts are so happy for this handsome fella who was in care for MONTHS! But it was absolutely worth the wait. Brock (formally known as Bach) has found his forever home that he gets to share with 2 new siblings 😍🐾

Name: Stella
Age: 3 years old

Miss Stella is a gorgeous 3 year old merle Great Dane born November 11,2021 who loves everyone she meets! Stella is the sweetest gentlest who loves to cuddle, she takes her role as a companion very seriously. She loves the odd run and playing with chew toys.

Stella has a high prey drive, and cannot be with any small animals. We believe with proper introduction she would do great with any medium to large sized dog. She currently lives with a boxer mix, they enjoy their snuggles and play time together.

Stella loves any humans including kids, but like all Danes, she can be a bit rambunctious at first and forgets her size. So she needs a little time to calm down but once calmed she is very gentle and sweet with them.

If you are interested in adding this beautiful girl to your family, please complete the online adoption application on our website:

***URGENT FOSTER NEEDED***

Located in Edmonton.

We are in need of a new foster placement for Bach. His current foster home was only available for a short period of time but has be so amazing to have given us over 10 weeks! We have to have him placed in a new foster by November 27th, however it would be the best Christmas gift for Bach to find a furever home. We have had lots of inquires but sadly no meet and greets for our sweet boy 😔

His foster Mom adores him and has been working so hard with him. He has been continuing his training session and Bach has come so far!

We would still like to find a home that has old children and no other dog(s) unless he was able to meet the other dog(s) a few times to make sure it's a good fit. He has been dog selective.

Bach is such a sweet and loving boy, he just needs the right family. It only takes 1 right fit for it to be a forever fit 💙🐾

If you are able to help with fostering or interested in adding this handsome fella to your family, please complete the online foster or adoption application on our website:

If you have already filled out an application for fostering or adoption, please reach out to us on Facebook messenger or send an email to [email protected] so we know you are available.

Miss Athena is really coming into her playful era, she is still looking for her furever home with a family who will spoil her with lots of toys 🩷🐾 (no cats, can be dog selective). She LOVES going for walks and has wonderful leash manners. She is very playful with kids. She is fine with all ages, but can get excited and sometimes forget her size, like all Danes do 😂

Can you help us, please share the heck out of this guy's post so we can help find him his furever home! 🤞 he deserves to be settled in and living his best life !! 💙 TYIA !!

We want to start this day off with a message of gratitude 🙏 We cannot put into words that truly justify how much we appreciate everyone. For everyone who has showed their support from sending applications for adoption or fostering, or even the simple step of sharing our posts. We couldn't do what we do without you all. We love and appreciate every single one of you! 💙🐾

One of our followers made a funny joke the other day, and we will share it, hopefully it makes you laugh as much we did.

Have a Great Dane! Oops I mean Day 🤣🐾

UPDATE: ADOPTED! 💙

***URGENT FOSTER NEEDED***

We are in need of a new foster placement for Apollo. His current foster home was only available for a month and we were so confident he would have been adopted by now, we are still shocked that such a sweet boy hasn't found a new family yet! We need to find a home by Tuesday November 5th.

His foster family adores him and are devastated that they cannot accommodate fostering him for longer or adopting him, they have a very full home already. They say he is an amazing, loving cuddle bug that has really come into his personality. He loves all people, kids and other animals. He loves to play and will need a home that the other dog(s) are up for that, or cats that are dog savvy because he likes to give them kisses. He can have separation anxiety at first while he is settling in but that's expected with a rescue pup.

9 weeks in care 😔 Help us find Bach a furever home 🤞🙏

Name: Bach
Age: 2 years
Location: Edmonton

Meet our boy, Bach. His sweet, cuddly personality will write a new masterpiece that will have you falling in love with him. He loves cuddles so much that he is a dignosed velcro pup, causing him to believe he is a lap dog, so we hope you're ready to share the couch. It's actually more like he will take up the whole couch so hopefully you have somewhere else to sit. Also, be ready for big hugs, kisses, and high paws 🐾

He is good with cats and small animals. While we are placing Bach as any only dog home, we have seen strong potential through his training, so much so, that he has even made friends with some other dogs 🙌 Bach can be nervous around strangers at first, especially men. He needs a little time to warm up. Treats are a great way to win him over. We are unsure about children, as he has not been tested with them while in care. Bach loves to play with plastic bottles, sometimes even more than regular dog toys but he does love his stuffed animals. He enjoys looking out the window while going for car rides and going on walks with his human, but he will need a little more confidence while on a leash.

He is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations. He is ready for adoption. He is currently located in Edmonton. However, arrangements can be made for travel if the right home is found 💙🐾

Name: Apollo
Age: 18 months
Location: Edmonton

Our handsome boy Apollo is looking for his furever home. He is nuetered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped.

Apollo is a big boy, coming in at 125 lbs and growing! He loves to snuggle and is very sweet. He loves his humans, even the little ones in his foster home. He currently has 2 other male Danes in the house that he loves to play with. He does a good job listening to them when they say enough playing, Apollo will back off.

Apollo does ok on leash but will need some more training on his manners. He has adapted to his foster family's routine, he just needed a little time to settle in. He loves to play with the foster home kitties, when he gets to playful and needs to be told to stop he responds well to the correction. His recall continues to improve but will need continued training.

Apollo would make any family complete and can go with or without another dog, but as long as he is not left home alone for long periods of time. He has always been in a home with another dog so he enjoys having the companionship.
