Danes, Danes and more Danes… Welcome spring at the event of the year – DaneFest 2010.
If you’re a lover of the Great Dane breed, you’re invited!
Open to the public, DaneFest is a family-friendly event held each spring at
Dogs Unleashed Dog Daycare in Keller, Texas. You and your furry friends are sure to have a good time: Check-in, walk to the backyard of Dogs Unleashed, and PLAY!
We just cannot quit saying thank you! And for good reason - because this group has an amazing cast of volunteers and supporters who consistently go above and beyond to help Great Danes in need.
An example of going above and beyond is our very own Discussion Board Moderator, Sara Craven, who sold over $1,000 in tickets for our annual raffle item! (We believe this is some sort of record - we're just waiting for the world raffle sales record keepers to contact us with confirmation.)
Sara's devotion to rescue is truly a gift. But looking at the smiling faces of her two boys - both were fostered and adopted through GDRNT - it's easy to see why she works so hard. Click on the image to the right to see a bigger picture of Sara's special boys: Shammy (L) and Chad (R).
Laura Alton and Cristina Bruzda were close on Sara's heels in the 'who can sell the most raffle tickets' race, but Laura gets extra points for selling the winning ticket to one of her co-workers. David Williams, a personal trainer at Cooper Aerobics Center, lucked out when he gave Laura $11 (the only cash he had on him) as she was leaving work the day before the raffle. David got an amazing 52" Samsung TV worth over $2,000 for eleven bucks...and thanks to Sara, Laura, Cristina and the rest of the outstanding volunteers who worked hard selling tickets a whole lotta Great Danes will get a second chance at an amazing life.
Great Dane Rescue of North Texas is grateful to everyone who had a hand in making this year’s DaneFest the best ever! Thanks to an amazing raffle item, an incredible volunteer team, some really great weather, and a whole slew of supporters who showed up by the bunches, we were able to raise over $8,000 to treat abused, neglected and abandoned Danes in North Texas!

You are probably aware that we are living in a much more environmentally conscious world today. Carbon Credits and organic vegetables are now common topics of conversation around the water cooler and there are more hybrid vehicles on the road than ever before.
With that in mind, Great Dane Rescue of North Texas would like to introduce you to the ultimate form of recycling: Choosing to adopt an abandoned animal rather than buy a brand new puppy from a backyard breeder.
The volunteers and supporters of Great Dane Rescue of North Texas thank you for buying raffle tickets from us. Not only does your purchase give you a chance to win an amazing TV, it also helps pay the vet bills that are a necessary part of saving abused, neglected or abandoned dogs – so that means you’re a winner either way!
Great Dane-sized thanks for the help and good luck with the raffle!
With the transition of the web site to a new platform there have been many challenges getting the conversion just right. The old site was home-grown and we were able to customize it on the fly to make it do backflips or what ever we wanted. The problem was that all this work was being done by one person, Tammy. It was a lot of work for one person.
DaneFest 2008 is here!
Admission is $10 per person or $30 for families of three or more.
If you're unfamiliar with this fantasticly fun event, here's a little DaneFest history and some information that might be helpful.
Like last year, DaneFest 2008 will be held at Dogs Unleashed Daycare:
