Dedicated to the Great Dane
MISSION:
The Great Dane Club of Oxford, Inc. (CT) Rescue (GDCOR) is
committed to finding homes for Great Danes that are
surrendered as a result of divorce, a new baby, relocation,
family time constraints and many other reasons due to the
popularity of the breed. (GDCOR) was organized to serve the
entire state of Connecticut with assisting Great Danes in
need. The program operates under The Great Dane Club of
Oxford, Inc. (CT) which is a not for profit civic
organization.
GDCOR is currently being staffed by two volunteers. Our
rescue mission is dedicated to finding Great Danes and mixed
Dane dogs a wonderful new home. Prior to adoption, our Danes
will be evaluated both medically and temperamentally. We
foster them until a permanent home is found and approved.
This allows us to determine each dog's characteristics &
personality so they are placed in an adoptive home that is
the "right match".
We require spay/neuter before adoption, bring dog current on
vaccinations and test for Heartworm, Lyme & begin treatment
If necessary. We are also prepared to treat for other
medical care as needed and if necessary. Our goal is to find
families that understand the commitment required by these
dogs to provide these gentle giants with the best home
possible. We are committed to finding a perfect permanent
placement and we are always willing to accept a dog back in
rescue for any reason.
