We take the naming of our danes very seriously around here. Naming rights are given to the volunteer who picks the dog up from the kill shelter and escorts it to one of our rescue vets. Shelter-to-vet transports are tough because you never know what you are going to get: a crazy, bucking bronco of a dane; a dirty, filthy, stinky, vomiting dane; a dane that looks as if it is ready to give birth…and then does…in the backseat of an SUV doing 70MPH down a highway; a dane with bleeding tumors or open sores - almost all are covered in fleas and almost all are a mess.

Our fundraising team works very hard to make sure we pay our vet bills on-time and in-full - and that’s no small task because the cost of vet care for the dogs in our program averages about $5,000 each month (though we have had our fair share of $10,000 months too).

It’s still early, but January is already shaping up to be a doosie. One emergency vet visit that cost $3086, along with several new dogs that need expensive heartworm treatment have put our fundraising committee in full gear and they’re looking at any way possible to raise funds to care for these dogs in need.
