This year GDRNT netted over $8000 and we were hoping for $6000. There is still money rolling in to with ppl who mailed registration fees late and a few ppl who have not paid for their ad on the back of the shirt.

Dont forget that May 10 is the Houston South Dane Fest. First time ever and I know, KNOW, Judy and her crew have been busting their tails for GDRNT. Let wish them the BEST of luck.

Do we have a total count of danes that attended?

Thanks to all for these great shots!!! Isn't it cool the way they are posted! Is this because of the new site?

So happy to see everyone having such a good time and on a beautiful day!!!

I think with every year DaneFest is getting better & better! Something new and different comes our way each year (this year it was the grill & the food) and with that comes many spur of the moment changes which is done on the fly by the Board, Fundraising team and our volunteers & fosters. Kudos to EVERYONE for for pulling off an an awesome day!
To everyone that brought a Dane, you guys totally rocked. You know your dog and his/her attitudes and you watched them as well as everyone elses Danes which made for a calm fun filled day for everyone!

Much thanks to Lauren for taking all of these awesome pictures for me today!

I've been looking forward to seeing this group picture.
Hopefully next year, I will have my next Dane and be back for more fun. What gorgeous weather you had this year!!

What a Great Time with the Great Danes! Sooo much fun getting to meet the Danes seen mostly in photos - a more handsome group is not to be found anywhere~! Also wonderful to meet the people owned by these Danes. From what i hear, the "Dept. of the Treasury" was overjoyed to raise more $$$$ than was ever hoped for.....Yeeeaaa! Even though i'm a new member and this was my first DaneFest, i'd still like to say Big Thanks to everyone who loves and cares for these truly magnificent dogs for your support. It's both exciting and amazing to be a part of such a diverse group of people coming together for one purpose - to give every needy Dane a second chance for the life they deserve.
