6 year old male - I hope it works out !

[RelicDobes]

so I have changed leaps and bounds by joining this forum. I will be honest, I never thought I would want a "rescue" dane. I mean I was always thankful to those who opened their homes to the older dogs in need of a family, I just never thought I would be pulled to do the same.

I worked in a pet store for 4 years, selling puppy mill puppies to people who didn't know any better and where encouraged by my pushing of the puppies. Well the guilt started to eat at me and I quit. Now that pull to help is coming back. and strong!

I finally have a space of my own. I know money is tight, but I can make it work. there are things that I buy for myself, that I don't need. I can make sacrifices to make it work. I have an emergency fund that I don't dip into except for vet emergencies. I also have a Care Credit Account so if need be, vet bills can go on there and slowly be paid off.

I just have to get my landlord to give me the ok for another dog. I hope she does, I already can see him here with us. spending his last years in a house, not in the garage.

the people who have him now, said they got him from someone who was starving him and they put weight back on him, but he chases their cat (they say in a playful way) so he is too much for their house. so he is living in their garage right now. Danes shouldn't have to live in the garage

anyway, I am rambling. I will let you know what the land lord says.

Here is a picture of Duke

What a sweet face! I hope you showed your landlord that picture...how could she say no!? Keep us posted.

[paigebeverly]

[RelicDobes]

bless your heart!

I sure hope your landlord says yes. As most of you know we rescused Gretchen a 6 year old female a few days ago and she is just so sweet and loving. She is getting along with our other two and so far so good.

[lurchmom]

WOW! I hope you can take this sweet boy and give him the better life he so deserves. Ya know, Bri, it was only about 5 weeks ago on another thread, where you said you would never have an uncropped Dane in your house......You sure have come a long way from there in a short time! Good for you! You may just get to PREFER those big ol' floppy ears! Yeah, I know that is pushing it!

LOLShe got you bri.Good luck i hope you can give him a home.Also my rescue was not cropped either still loved her.

I adore seniors! Savanah was 9 when we rescued her and she was extremely loving and fit in perfectly with my family. Took a little while for her to adjust, longer than both Chance and Lucy, but when she did, it was total and unconditional love from that day on. Good for you, I hope things work out with your landlord.

thanks for the support guys....and yeah, you got me LurchsMom!!!! lol

I would still prefer a cropped puppy if I was buying from a reputable breeder, but I have no problem with those floppy ears on a dog that needs my help. I think he is ADORABLE!!

I am worried now that the landlayd will say no..... any suggestions on how to get her to say yes??

here is what I have so far:
I can't have kids, these dogs are my kids and he needs me.
I need him as much as he needs me, this move has been hard and it would be nice to focus my energy on something positive.
Come over and see the house. you can see where the dogs are, how clean the house still is and how well looked after the house is. adding another dog won't change that.

any other suggestions?? thanks!

We just signed the lease on a new apartment but before we could sign the lease, our new landlord wanted to meet Scarlett because he had some real concerns about having a dog her size in an apartment. He met her, loved her, asked us some questions, and gave us the apartment that day. Maybe offering your landlord the chance to meet Duke would be beneficial. She could see it as an act of good faith and just let you go ahead and get him.

I could do that, but he is 3 1/2 hours away. so if I went and got him, then let her meet him and she still said no, I don't think I would have the heart to drive him back....

I will offer more money for the pet deposit if she seems hesitant... that might work! thanks!

Oh, such a sweet, sweet face. I do hope your landord says "Yes".

[MileyBeans]

I hope everything works out and you can get him! He looks so sweet.
