Adopt A Dane
Adopter Of The Month
January 1st, 2007, I lost my best friend Bessie. She was a 9 year old Harlequin who passed from a stroke. I told myself I would wait quite a long time before I would even consider another Dane. Well, 2 months later I contacted the Great Dane Rescue and filled out the paper work to see if I could adopt a Great Dane. After my home check, I was contacted by Carla, who told me I was approved and to go to the site and choose a Dane. I was overwhelmed by the amount of Danes that were available. Carla and I spoke several times,each time she made sure that the type of Dane I was looking for fit exactly what I wanted. Finally! Harley!
Harley had a great foster home and a wonderful foster mom named Pam. Knowing Harley had a few quirks I decided to give him a shot. After getting him home was I in for a surprise! He was a nut! I thought this dog was never going to be another Bessie. Then I realized he was not supposed to be another Bessie. He was Harley. My 150lbs of charging pot-roast! What a great dog! With a little training and working with him, a whole lotta love came out of this Dane!I realized that this dog was abused, not cared about,and probably never loved. He is now!
I thought I needed to give back to the people who gave me Harley so I am now doing home checks. I should say Harley and I are doing home checks and loving it! I will continue to give my all for the Great Dane Rescue in hope that we find GOOD homes for all Danes in need. Keep up the great work!!
