Today GDRNT took into our program SEVEN Danes! So since Friday our ranks have grown by NINE.... All pulled from kill shelters. There was not a hoarding or seizure.... Just nine Danes sitting on death row of shelters desperate to reduce ranks so none have to die. To say that it takes a village is an understatement. It takes an army. Today alone there were countless hours spent coordinating transports, foster homes and veterinary space. Hours and miles spent in personal vehicles to get these danes to the vet and the shuffling of households to get ready for another foster.

“Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.” - Albert Schweitzer
It has been estimated that between 4 and 12 millions dogs and cats are euthanized by US shelters every year. Take the low estimate, 4 million, that would mean that every EIGHT seconds a dog or cat is euthanized in the United States. This number is stagering considering pet overpopulation is completely 100% preventable!

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:

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.

Guinness Murphy's early years were shaped by abandonment and pain. It is impossible to know the exact details of his early life because his family dropped him off at a kill shelter when he was about a year old. Our best guess is that he received his death sentence for being a normal Great Dane puppy.
