GDRNT supporters are the BEST!
Sara Craven, one of our founding board members and long-time volunteer sold the winning raffle ticket for the 50" flat screen TV this year to someone at JCPenney's corporate office in Construction Services.
Sara was able to sell $500 worth of tickets and one of those purchasers gives her a $50 bill every year for the raffle and buys a dozen tickets.
We called Sara and told her the name and it turns out, it was the $50 co-worker.
With the exception of all the mud that we covered with straw, Danefest was once again a great success.

We have some very exciting information comming up about the winner of the 50" TV from the annual DaneFest Raffle.
As usual about once a year we come upon a circumstance that really puts a strain on us not only financially but emotionally as well.
Meet Sweet Sam!
Great Dane Rescue of North Texas, Inc. is an all volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing medical attention and foster care while seeking permanent homes for abandoned Great Danes in the North Texas area.
GDRNT works with animal shelters to save the lives of Great Danes on death row. Many dogs that come into our program are sick, injured or have suffered abuse but there are just as many happy, healthy, well-adjusted Great Danes that find themselves facing the euthanasia needle because of hardships faced by their families.

Its that time again everyone!
Our annual members meeting for all paid members will be held on
January 17th at 3:00 pm in Plano Texas.
Address will be provided once your membership app and dues are received via email.
Even if you can not attend the meeting this is a great way to support all of the good work that rescue does!
Every bit of your annual dues goes to help the sick, injured and neglected dogs that we are able to save from death row.
All paid members are welcome to attend the meeting. This will give you a chance to meet your 2009 board members
The results are in and Guinness received 1081 votes. While not enough to win, this number is still very significant because it represents the number of Great Danes saved by this organization.
Thanks to the hard work of volunteers and the generosity of donors, Great Dane Rescue of North Texas has changed the lives of over one thousand dogs that were tossed aside (and sometimes literally tossed on the side of the road). Guinness was one of those dogs and he will never take for granted the fact that he was given a second chance.

Don't forget, November 4 is Election Day. This is your chance to vote for the candidate that can effect change...and change the lives of thousands of abandoned and neglected pets!
We know we are a little biased, but we cannot imagine a better presidential platform:
Guinness Murphy wants to educate people about responsible pet guardianship - and he wants to make it clear that being a responsible pet owner goes far beyond just making sure a dog has food, water and shelter. He will push forward with his message until everyone in the United States understands the importance of spaying and neutering. He will not be happy until people realize the senseless pain of cosmetic mutilations like ear cropping. And he will not rest until he sees dogs taken off chains and moved inside the home with their families.
Vote with your heart, vote for Guinness!
While most presidential candidates like to talk about 'campaign finance reform', Guinness Murphy, the only Great Dane in history to run for president, is doing something about it!

Guinness for President!
Who is this candidate?
He is the spokes-dog for all rescued pets in the United States of America!
Why should we send our "campaign contributions" to Guinness?
Because Guinness also stands for change! He is a breed who seeks responsible pet ownership, loving supporters and public education for all.
Dinner and beverages have graciously been donated by Matt's Rancho Martinez Tex-Mex Restaurant, Barefoot Wine, and Rahr & Sons Brewing Co.

Please sign a petition encouraging the Dallas City Council to approve the Animal Shelter Commission's proposed mandatory spay/neuter - breeder registration ordinance and help stop the killing of 27,000 dogs and cats in the city shelter each year.
80% of the puppies and kittens from each litter born will end up in a shelter one day and, unfortunately, most of them do not find homes.
