Rest in Peace Dash

Rest in Peace Dash

Lorrie Ranck sent us these touching photos of her boy Dash. Here is what she wrote: “We adopted Dash through private adoption via GDRNC, when he was 4 years old. He had serious separation anxiety and a medical issue. We are privileged to have had this sweet soul as part of our family until October of this year. At 12 years old, he was struggling to walk and let us know it was time to say good bye. His goofy self is missed by all.”

Our condolences to Lorrie and her family. We thank them for giving Dash a loving home.

Thanks to the Robnett family for sending us Hanks’ official 2017 Santa photo!

Riley at Christmas

Tealy and Greg sent this cute photo of Riley with the note saying Riley seemed to like the bow around her neck. A few minutes later they emailed me again saying “bow off”. That lasted long….

LA Penny

LA Penny

Formerly a Bay Area girl, Penny is now a SoCal dweller. Here is what her people Brian and Hilary wrote to us:

“We recently moved to Venice, CA. We miss our friends in SF but are enjoying the sun and family time we get in Southern CA. Here is Penny the elf with her Grandma in Manhattan Beach. They walked downtown Manhattan Beach and got treats from all the stores. The second picture is in our new apartment complex, where there are hundreds of dogs that get to run around and sniff grass. Penny has lots of friends, her new bestie is a Pit Bull named Honey.

We love going to breweries because they are usually dog friendly, so here is a picture of a recent trip to Newport Beach and we stopped to get a beer.”

Logan At The Bank

Logan At The Bank

Laura McNicholas, Logan’s Mom, sent this photo of her special boy Logan. Logan goes with Laura daily to do her business’s banking. When they enter the bank, he immediately heads to the woman who has the treats! Smart boy. They all love him at the bank.

So nice to see wonderful photos like these of Great Danes who were given up by their owners, and now live with people who truly cherish them.

Thank you Laura!

Maggie at Christmas

Maggie at Christmas

Thanks to Maggie’s Mom, Julie Meyer, for this Christmas photo of Maggie. One of the nicest Danes we have ever had come through Rescue. Maggie has had lots of medical issues in her life (just came through a horrid bout with pneumonia), but it never messes with her temperament. Just the nicest, sweetest girl! Julie is also the best owner who continually just deals with whatever comes her way. Thank you Julie!

Merry Christmas to Maggie and Julie!

Chloe and the Grandkids

Geoff and Amy Rice sending us this sweet photo of their rescue girl Chloe and their grandchildren. Chloe came in with a horrid case of entropian (inverted eyelids) which caused her eyes to weep constantly, as well as caused her to squint. After we did the surgery on her eyes, the Rice’s came to adopt her and give her the kind of a home she was denied in her two previous homes. Thank you again Geoff and Amy!

Marsha Hagler sent in this sweet photo of her girl Angie and her friend.

Lily At The Vets

Lily At The Vets

Lily’s owners Kathy and Steve Tidy sent us this photo with the nice note below:

“Lily loves being on the furniture, which we do not allow in our home (except occasionally on the outdoor furniture), but every time I’ve ever taken her to a vet’s office, she helps herself to a chair or bench or whatever. This is her in her favorite position at the local vet’s – Steve was with us during this visit, so he could take a picture. The staff all love her…..”
