Great Dane Rescue of North Texas, Inc.

Great Dane Rescue of North Texas, Inc. GDRNT rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes Great Danes in North Texas. Great Dane Rescue of North Texas, Inc.

is an all volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing medical attention and foster care while seeking permanent homes for abandoned Great Danes in the North Texas area. GDRNT works with animal shelters to save the lives of Great Danes on death row. Many dogs that come into our program are sick, injured or have suffered abuse but there are just as many happy, healthy, well-ad

justed Great Danes that find themselves facing the euthanasia needle because of hardships faced by their families. GDRNT finds loving and knowledgeable permanent homes; educates the public about the temperament, characteristics and special needs of the Great Dane breed; teaches responsible pet ownership; and promotes animal identification programs, spay/neuter programs and general animal population control. We do not have a shelter – all the Great Danes in our care are placed in trained foster homes after the dog is spay/neutered, heartworm tested, given Rabies, DHLPPC and Bordetella vaccinations, fecal tested, micochipped and treated for any other necessary veterinary needs. While a Great Dane is in GDRNT’s care, it lives as part of a foster family. During this time, each Dane’s health and temperament is evaluated which helps us make appropriate permanent placements in approved adoptive homes. In addition to providing medical and emotional rehabilitation, all foster homes crate train, work on basic obedience and housebreaking. This organization could not exist without its many volunteers. Some people donate their time by fostering, and some donate their time through administrative work or transporting sick dogs, while others donate money to support the cause. It’s not often we get to properly thank these people for their long hours and dedication to this breed because it seems that just as one dog gets to go to its forever home, several more dogs come in. Fortunately, the people who do this sort of work appreciate the sight of a once homeless dog driving off with its new family more than pats-on-the-back from other humans.

Well hello, I suppose I shall introduce myself. I am Margarita, but those I care for call me Rita. Because I am always sweet, never salty! My idea of a perfect evening is a grand meal, which I will help you finish if you eat too slowly, and fun games of wrestling and playing with toys! I’m quite demure and only give gentle kisses to those who prove worthy of my affection. My foster siblings sometimes cause such a racket and bark, which I’d never do on my own you see, it’s obviously beneath me. But I join in to show I’m up for a clever game! I do not care for loud noises or sudden actions, a lady such as myself prefers a gentler environment. I spend many of my hours walking closely with my foster maiden around her domicile. Surely she wouldn’t remember the way to the kitchen, bedroom or restroom without me by her side! I’m so very helpful like that. Are you looking for a gentle lady as a companion! Perhaps I could be that lady!

Rita is available for adoption in the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex. Visit danerescue.net to find out more info about our adoption process and complete the adoption application.

Oh, heeeey! I’m Sully, but my foster mom calls me Silly Sully. Do you have toys I could play with? I Really like toys! They only let me have the really hard to chew up kind though. My favorites are balls and the kind they put treats inside! I’m super good at getting those out while I’m chilling in my kennel. I also love playing with my foster brothers, those guys are so fun! There’s a cat here too, but he won’t play with me (believe me, I tried) so we just ignore each other now. I’m not a big fan of the car- they make me so nervous. But I do like going for walks. They keep calling me “Nosey,” I dunno what that means but I feel like if I don’t sniff everything I might miss something! Also- do you have snacks at your house? I love love love to eat. I love my snacks and your snacks and if my foster brothers leave there snacks, I love theirs too. My foster mom makes me practice waiting on only mine a lot. She says I’m a good boy and doing so well learning my manners! But she still makes me practice a lot so I guess I’m still learning. I hope to meet you one day! (Make sure to bring snacks!)
