Dedicated to the Great Dane
Rescue depends on you…
You should know that all funds received go directly to the
Great Danes in our rescue program . The funds and or
supplies are used solely for Medical Care, to provide a good
Foster Home, Boarding if necessary and pays for the costs
involved in retrieving an abandoned Dane and placing him/her
in a new
home.
The success of any organization such as ours depends greatly
on volunteers. We are always looking for new individuals to
help us with the Adoption process. There are many ways to
offer help whether its on a one time basis or as much as
you’re willing to. Below is a list of ways you could help by
joining us as a volunteer. Foster Homes
Foster a dog by opening your home and heart to a dog in
need. We depend on Foster homes, as they are one of our
greatest assets to the program. When you decided to foster a
Great Dane you have taken a major step in saving the life of
a Dane. Foster homes allow us to put Danes we have received
into a good situation where they will receive love,
attention and in many cases get back into good health.
Having foster homes also greatly reduces the operating cost
of the rescue as boarding a Great Dane can be very
expensive. When we do not have foster homes available,
boarding a dog is our last resort.
Foster care consists of providing a safe, loving, temporary
home for a dog until a permanent adoptive home can be found.
All dogs are screened for health and temperament before
entering our program. We provide food, basic supplies,
veterinary care, and guidance. You provide the love,
training and home. The dog provides you with love, joy, and
the satisfaction of having saved a life. Be prepared to
foster the dog until a permanent home can be found!
Adoptions could take weeks or even months! If you would
like to foster a dog for us, please get in touch as soon as
possible, for some it could mean the difference between life
and death! All parties interested in being a foster home
must fill out an application. Please call or e-mail for more
information! Supplies we need readily

Fundraising
We are a not for profit organization and
therefore we depend donations and fundraising functions
solely to raise money for our Rescue program and services
which is dedicated to Danes in need. This is always a VITAL
aspect of our rescue program. You can help by volunteering
to work a booth at various events, come up with ways to
raise funds, contact groups that give grants to
organizations such as ours or just be there to help out when
needed. Or if you have the ability yourself or know someone
that would be willing to host a fundraising event or benefit
in the name of Rescue – we would love to learn more about
the opportunities you may be interested in or can offer in
order to help our Rescue Program. Every dollar can make a
difference!
Every dog that comes into rescue has different needs, and
there have been many cases when a wonderful Dane has come to
us and is in critical need of medical care. This is a cost
we always try to be prepared for and this type of care can
sometimes be very expensive. we consider it a privilege to
be able to offer this dog that care because of your
donations.
Home Checks
This is an important function in our
organization. Home checks are performed for every
prospective adopting individual or family. We like to make
sure that the new home has certain required elements, which
is the whole purpose of a home check. It doesn't take long
and can be very rewarding. You meet new people who are very
interested in Great Danes and you make new friends through
this process. We will offer at least a weeks advance notice
or more and the ability to schedule this at your convenience
with the potential home owners and yourself.
Public Events
We try and attended various dog related or
public events and participate in community relation events
throughout the year. When we go to an event we will need
people to setup and work a booth. You would be talking to
the pubic about our rescue program and Great Danes and or
just being a smiling people greeter.
There may be talents you have that we have not listed here.
If you have a skill, service or talent we haven't mentioned,
we are always open to new ideas and would love to hear from
you. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer with
GDCOR you can call or
email us today. |
