From time to time, the Great Dane Club of Canada receives into its care, danes needing loving homes. The reasons are diverse- from irresponsible breeders or puppy mills to situations such as divorce, death or other family crisis'. All danes received into our care are given veterinary care as required; some may only require a check up to confirm good health while others may need more attention. As well, all danes recieved into our care are either spayed or neutered. Finally, their temperaments are carefully assessed to ensure placements into appropriate environments.

Any dane owner knows the sensitivity these wonderful dogs possess. They are very people oriented and must be part of the family. Danes who are surrendered to rescue are usually frightened and bewildered but most have the potential to become wonderful, cherished family pets very deserving of someone to love them.

Typically the cost of adopting a rescue dane is quite modest. While we must recoup any veterinary expenses and food costs to enable us to help the next rescue it is not our goal to make money. We work to place these danes with the ultimate goal of finding them a permanent loving home.

Currently we have no Great Danes in rescue however if you are interested in either adopting a dane or opening your home to foster a dane in need until a permanent home can be found, please contact one of our dedicated rescue people.
