Sherri sent us this photo of Clifford with the verbage below:
“Clifford here. Now I’m six years old. People cant stop asking Sherri if I’m a horse!! “C’mon! Haven’t they EVER seen a GREAT Dane before!”
(All Dane owners get asked this question more times than they can count (to be followed by how much do they eat and can you ride them) ….. and it is NEVER funny.)
Michael, our Reno canine assistant, has not been a “foster brother” for a while and is missing a canine buddy. Tank (adopted from us by the Robnett family) came over for a play date and made Michael’s day!
Sherri Lane sent in this photo of her boy Clifford posing with angels in the background. We know those angels were looking out for Clifford as this week he underwent emergency surgery when he bloated. Sherri caught it early and Clifford is recovering. Thank you to his angels for pulling him through!
Barbara Slobodian sent in this photo of Cochise and Shawnee waiting for Santa!
Mike Stone, a professional dog handler and co-owner of the kennel where we board our rescue Great Danes(and gives us a HUGE discount on boarding), has been nominated for “Professional Handler Of The Year” by Purina and Dog Show magazine. If you by chance feel the need to cast a vote, you can go to the website showdogsawards.com, click on VOTE in the upper right hand corner. You will be directed to a page where you will scroll down until you see the banner PROFESSIONAL HANDLER, and you will see Mike Stone’s name.
Mike is a wonderful handler. He is very kind to the dogs he handles, has a “soft” hand when taking them in the ring and is deserving of this honor.
Thank you!
Occasionally, Great Dane Rescue will ask for help in transporting a Great Dane in need of rescuing from a location in Northern California. We were thinking to start the new year off right, we would be proactive and compile a list of volunteers who have expressed an interest in helping with transportation. If you would like to be added to our list, please email Colleen at [email protected] with the time/days that you might be able to help transport. For example: ;”I am free weekends only” or “I can transport during the week, but only in the afternoons”, etc. The second part of this query is; what is your territory? We have dogs that need to go from Granite Bay to Reno on occasion. Is this a route you could drive? We also have dogs that need to be transported from the Central CA area or from somewhere in the Bay Area. Is this a route you could drive? Be specific on where you could pick up a dog and how far you could transport that dog. The ultimate destination is Granite Bay. If you are added to our list you might be contacted to help with transport, which you could either accept or decline. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
We would love to post cute holiday photos of your Great Dane with or without your family. Send these photos to [email protected] and we will post them to share with the Dane rescue community!
Another great photo from the Cooks! Here we see Aubrey, Grandpa Glenn, and Bodie and Stevie. What a rich life these two Danes enjoy.

What great photos! To remind you, Stevie came in as a stray, we had to amputate her tail and she was a mess. Very thin and dirty and a bit shy. The Cook family saw past that and adopted her. You can see from her photos she is a great girl! Then we got Bodie in as an older puppy and knew right away he would be a good fit for that family.
I guess it is working out….
