Wyatt Bleu was one lucky Dane when he was adopted by the Moraes family. This great couple has had numerous Danes from us and they never disappointed us with the love and care they gave to their new Dane. He is one gorgeous boy but wasn’t quite so gorgeous prior to his adoption. But then Kathy got ahold of him and that all changed with her and Joe’s loving ccare.
Enough lip?
We recently had two Danes (Zeus) and Bell) who rn up huge bills at the ER when we rushed theme in because they both caught three viruses from where?? Bell went to the ER i next and ]her bill was $12k, then Zeus followed, and his bill was ONLY $6k. Both Danes recovered and found great new homes.
We mention this just to let our donors know that we would not have been able to save their lives without our amazing donors. Every dollar goes to help the Danes in our care, so THANK YOU all for making it possible for us to do this.
Wonderful photo of Bodhi Cook enjoying one of his favorite television programs! His older sister Stevie feels this program is so beneath her at her mature age! But she loves her bro so she endures his program choices! Thanks to the Cook family for always keeping us up to date on their dane kids with cute photos! On a different note, thanks to this family for being financial supporters of Great Dane Rescue. We SSO appreciate their faith in our organization.
Hi Colleen,
September 19 was a fateful day for the Waterman/Berryman household: we said goodbye to our two beloved Great Danes. I had only recently and jubilantly announced Zoey’s tenth birthday on Facebook. Two days later, she was diagnosed with an aggressive bone cancer and given a prognosis of six weeks. She barely made it six days! Her fiercely independent spirit was matched only by her connection to Bill: she was a devoted daddy’s girl! Our chowhound survived several surgeries/maladies and lived with an autoimmune disease while relishing her treats (and she knew the very word!) The pack was very important to Zoey and she monitored all of us very carefully.
Rufus, the goofus dog, had been on borrowed time due to a benign but inoperable tumor on his elbow which had grown to the size of a personal watermelon. However, that didn’t stop this boy we lovingly referred to as our “idiot savant” from living life large—at nearly 10 years old he still was fascinated with hunting lizards, continued to open dead bolts and locked doors throughout the house and forever displayed his FOMO (fear of missing out) about anything and everything happening around him.
Knowing our sad situation, Granite Bay Vet Clinic referred us to Constant Companion, an in-home euthanasia service offered by Dr. Jackie Conners. For many reasons, she endorsed our suggestion that they should be put down together. We adopted them on the same day from the Great Dane rescue of N. California over the ‘14 Labor Day weekend and it seemed fitting that they would pass together nine years later. Dr. Conners helped us give our precious pets this last, compassionate gift—peaceful at home, on their beds and in our arms.
Eugene is a four year old merle male. Neutered and current on vaccinations. Housebroken and sweet. Pulls a bit on leash but not badly. He need a new home because the other Dane male he lives with says two Dane males in the home is not his preference! SO Eugene would like a home with a sweet female as a buddy. Eugene lives in Perris,CA. No children or cat experience. If interested in Eugene please contact us at [email protected]
Gemma, the ten year old merle female we had on our site found a perfect home with Karen and her brood and these photos show how lucky she is. A HUGE thanks to Karen and her family for being one in a million to take on this senior girll!! GEMMA is pictured with MOOSE her new brother who rescued from our group when he was a puppy. Now he is a BIG boy who loves his new older sister!!

We absolutely love these sort of update emails. Thank you Heather !
Matilda. Is. Great!
She really does well with the kids and plays with Daisy like they were old pals. Although, Daisy is happy to let her know when she’s had enough. I do keep her somewhat away from the 1 yr old if possible if he’s just toddling around simply due to size (did the same with my previous Dane). Only 1 knockdown so far 🙂
Matilda is still a little shy around my husband initially. It seems like it’s worst when we are outside. She no longer barks at him in the house. She won’t let him bring his face to hers, but after a few moments she’s fine bringing her face up to his. This is a continued work in progress but it’s much better already.
She’s VERY in your face when eating…or just sitting for that matter…so we’re just working on our manners. Typical stuff
In the evenings we put the cat in the bathroom then allow Matilda into our room where she spends 10-15 minutes sniffing around. She then gets on the bed between us, happily laying on my husband, and calms down. Once calm, I put her in her crate in our bedroom where she sleeps soundly all night. I then let the cat out who free roams the bedroom all evening. No issues
My next goal is to move the crate out of the bedroom. I hope to accomplish this in the next 2 weeks or so. I have not yet crated her during the day while leaving, she’s been in the backyard with Daisy when I had to go somewhere, and we’ve had no issues.
She is definitely a leash puller (I know, you warned me!) so we’ll be working on that too.
She hasn’t tried to eat a thing off the counter (I mean, we do try to keep the counters clear of food for that reason) or chewed any toys, blankets or pillows. Not sure why they said she was a chewer…let’s hope I never find out!
I have an appt on Tuesday to check her for a microchip/have one placed if they can’t find it.
Matilda is a gem and we absolutely hit the doggie jackpot. Thank you so much for trusting her with us! I attached a few photos for you. She’s definitely part of the family now.
