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.

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.)

Great Dane sized thanks to the following people for organizing the Houston-area Moms & Mutts event benefiting Great Dane Rescue of North Texas!
Judy Jones pulled in a fantastic team of people and they all worked their patooties off to raise money for dogs in need. Judy's dedication to this group and to Great Danes everywhere is awe-inspiring. We used to mention trying to clone her, but after seeing how hard her team in Houston worked on this event we don't think that's necessary anymore!
