Daneline uses 'foster' homes instead of kennels while we find the right homes for the dogs. The 'foster p

arents' provide local help and advice throughout the adoption as well as providing a vital link in the aftercare service. All Danes gifted into Daneline are assessed in an approved and fully supported foster home, NOT in kennels. Every Dane is taken to a vet within a few days to have a comprehensive health check, i.e. heart, eyes, ears, teeth, legs, hips, anal glands and weighed. Our Danes are weighed weekly to enable us to monitor their progress. All necessary operations are done as a matter of course. The Danes leave us with a new collar and lead, vaccination card, health history, five days food, a comprehensive information pack and a contract which also details all we have done and any other relevant behavioural support if required. During the time a Great Dane is in our care we assess their temperament and any behavioural problems or training that needs to be addressed, i.e. recall and behaviour on and off lead, socialization with other dogs, children, visitors and livestock, separation anxiety, possessive behaviour or aggression over food and toys and any other quirks, likes or dislikes. This assessment enables us to match each Dane to its new home.

🏠🏠MABLE 🏠🏠

We are starting to look for a new home for Mable. She has made tremendous progress given her dreadful start in life. She is very anxious in a car, but we are slowly working on that. Mable needs a home with another large male dog as she loves to play. A good sized garden with grass, so she can do zoomies with her new friend. Mable is good on a lead and loves meeting new people and dogs. Very loud traffic noises do make her slightly worried, but she learning, by being taken out on her pavement walks twice a day that there is nothing to be concerned about. Mable still needs to gain some more weight, but with time and continuing with 3 meals a day, it won't take long.PLEASE DO GIVE LISSI A CALL TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT MABLE ON 01179723343 THANKS X

The Lovely Mable Part 3.... 3 Videos Below

Mable is making huge progress. She is learning how to play with a ball as you can see on the video below. She is gaining in confidence daily and going out for walks on the street. Loud noises can be a bit scarry, but each day she becomes a bit braver. Mable is enjoying the large amount of space to run around and explore, plus the company of another Dane. Mable needs to gain more weight and general condition to improve. So far she is a very changed dog to the one who only arrived 2 weeks ago. We will update you you all next week x

Daneline was asked to post this..

As it is 2 years today that we picked up Godo (Stan) I wrote the below and have a few pics I was going to ask if it could go on the page ?

Godo (now Stan) update after 2 Years Today.

We have not been without a dog for the last 30 years; all our dogs have come from rescue and have all been large breeds with the odd Jack Russell thrown in.
Two years ago, our journey with Stan began, and it has been nothing short of incredible. Adopting a dog, especially one with a history as challenging as Stan’s was., a decision filled with both hope and apprehension.
However, Stan (AKA Godo) was our first Great Dane.

We had suddenly lost our beloved Cane Corso Luna of 5 years to an aggressive brain tumour that had come on so quickly and took us completely by surprise. At the time of her passing we decided that we did not want to go through the heartache again. However, our Jack Russell also took the loss badly and sobbed for her pal for weeks. Every time the door went, she bolted to see if it was her pal come back. We decided that we should rescue again but could not bring ourselves to go down the Mastiff route again, as Luna had meant so.
After weeks of looking at every rescue we could find, we stumbled across the Daneline page and our research on the breed started. This decision was made easier after we had spotted the photo’s and update on Godo being brought to the UK.
The fact he had, had such a rough start and looked like he was built late on a Friday afternoon, as well as the Wobblers syndrome. We knew he was for us.
We spoke to both Sue and Lissi regarding Godo and what to expect with the wobblers. The information and advice we received was second to none, and we could not wait to be okayed to go and meet the man himself.
It was a bittersweet moment meeting Stan for the first time, as we could see that the foster he was in absolutely adored him, and we knew within minutes we would be taking him from them soon. Stan we had asked for him to now be called was – A completely sweet, gentle goofball that was full of life and energy. We would like to say a massive thank you at this point to his foster Mum and Dad for the fantastic job they had done with him, I do still send them update pics every now and then.

Anyway, having never thought of ever adopting a Dane to getting one in your home is a very strange feeling. Within a Day Stan had bonded more to my wife and to myself not long after, however he is most definitely a Mummies boy.
From the other rescues we had adopted over the years we were well versed in the 3 days, 3 weeks and 3 months rule; however, it did seem to take longer with Stan, and he is still very anxious of small spaces. Just wish they could tell us what they had been through.
We were very apprehensive of the first meeting of Stan and our new baby granddaughter, however I have never seen a dog so big be so gentle and aware of his size. He was and is a true gent, the girls love him, and he is always sure footed around them.
Stan has to be one of the best decisions we have ever made, the breed is nothing short of fantastic. For him to be so trusting and loving after whatever he has been through never fails to amaze me.
He has regular check-ups, and it seems there has been little sign of the wobblers getting any worse.

Finally, a massive thank you to Lissi, Sue, and all the incredible volunteers for their unwavering dedication and compassion. Your efforts in providing foster homes, facilitating travel, and offering unwavering support have made an immeasurable difference in the lives of numerous Danes. Your commitment to ensuring that these gentle giants receive the second chance they so rightfully deserve is nothing short of extraordinary. We are profoundly grateful for the love and care you extend to each and every dog, giving them the opportunity to find their forever homes and live happy, fulfilling lives. Thank you for being the unsung heroes in the lives of these magnificent creatures.
