  • Attention Floridians: Help save 5 danes

    This is from Central Florida Great Dane Rescue website
    http://cfgdr.org/

    We need your help. These 10 Great Danes were dumped at a local shelter by their owner/breeder on 9-13-08. This breeder dropped off a total of 20 dogs , the shelter has contacted other rescue groups to help with the other dogs.

    Some of our volunteers went to the shelter today and met these Danes. Most are a bit shy, but will likely be fine once they are out of a shelter environment. I think that all 10 are adoptable, with some work. Most, of them have not been socialized, leash trained, taught any manners or obedience. I expect that they may not ride too well in a car. The shelter is not putting them up for adoption, since they are shy, and so untrained. Even if they did put them up for adoption, it is likely they would NOT be adopted by the general public.

    We would like to be able to save all 10 Danes, but there is limited room. We have agreed to take the first 5, as I think we can make room for them somehow. We need foster homes for either other dogs in rescue, or the last 5 Danes by Friday, or they will be put down.

    They're desperate for volunteers and would accept even short-term help!

    I'm taking in my very first foster this weekend!

    I sure hope something can be done for these 5 danes. Their faces just break my heart. Wish I was closer.

      I have been talking with the people at CFGDR a lot lately and think I'm going to try to foster one of the dogs. Hopefully they will find enough people to take in all the dogs!

                        Ugne, he is a cutie I am glad rescue was able to help and get fosters. When multiples come in, it can put such a strain on already limited resources.

                        I also agree that it is a wonderful thing to foster and help a dog adjust to 'normal' life and be better prepared for a new home ... WTG !

                          Best of luck with the sweet innocent beauty's! My dane came from the pound, and was taken away from his previous owner due to abuse and neglect. He is the absolute love of my life! I couldnt ask for a sweeter more loving dog. I wish I was closer to foster one of these babies!!!!! I hope they all find loving homes!

                            Makes me wish I still had land, I would take them in. I rescued 2 in August and have loved every minute of it. I hope you can get them all great homes.
