Board Barkings

Wow things have been crazy busy here! Our biggest FUNdraiser of the year is less than TWO WEEKS away so we are a busy bunch! Divas Dudes and Danes is our dinner and silent auction and the money raised that night is so very important to what we do. Even with all that excitement FURever homes are still happening!

(Click to read more!) Generally we have a horrible track record adopting out mixes.... people come to us to adopt Danes. We do not DNA test but there are enough features and qualities in our dogs for them to be Danes. Dozer is obviously not all dane.. but he does have the best qualities of a dane and whatever he is mixed with. His name describes him well! This uber sweet young dude is a bit of a bull Dozer and needed a home who would work with his energy and size. Safe to say he hit JACKPOT! His new family has large dog experience, a big yard AND obedience training experience!

Anyone who has been through the application process with us will tell you we put a lot of time into each application. More time and thought is given to our MatchMaker Process! Once approved we look at the obvious criteria... things like does the dog get along with cats? Kids? have specific needs? We want FURever matches and the best proof of that is in our repeat adopters! Nothing makes me happier than seeing an application from a past adopter ready to add another dane to the family! It is their faith in our process that keeps them coming back.

WOW! Our adoption Team has been busy busy busy! We have already had 5 adoptions this week and today it was COLE's turn! This was a fun one because Cole's new family is another repeat adopter! Last fall this couple adopted from us and like so many they realized Danes can be like chips... hard to have just one! So when they applied to adopt again I was not surprised! Today we introduced Cole to their first GDRNT Dane and they are fast friends! I think it was love all around and now Cole has his very own FURever family. Cole came to rescue very sick and spent a week in ICU.
