Sweet Sugar found her self in a not so sweet spot when she ended up in an area shelter. She was filthy, covered in tick's/fleas, had never been inside and way to skinny. The poor girl didn't understand that her life was about to get so much sweeter.

Emily was dumped with her young puppies and left to fend for all of them. Her first stroke of good luck came when she was taken to an animal shelter that called GDRNT to help them. Surprisingly, she was heartworm negative. Just when things were starting to look up for Emily, her puppies became symptomatic for parvovirus. Sadly, one of the pups did not survive, but three pulled through and have since found fantastic homes. After that hurdle, Emily’s life became significantly better. She was in a loving foster home, took her no-more-puppies pledge (spay surgery), and had a safe place to rest until her perfect furever home came along. After a few months with GDRNT, a young lady in search of a calm companion applied to adopt. Now, Emily has a home to call her very own.

July was a busy month for rescue. Our intake team was swamped with shelter requests, and we are a little bit behind on adoption announcements. But, we have three happy tails to share!

Maya came to rescue from a local shelter after she was found as a stray. Everyone who met her loved her sweet personality, including her new family. They tell us that she loves to snuggle inside with them and play out in the yard. She’s getting along well with the kiddos and resident kitty. As her new mom says, “…this was a match made in Great Dane Heaven!”

Dixie came into rescue from a local shelter and was a bit nervous to find herself in a new place. She was sweet as could be from the get-go, but she needed a little time to regain her confidence and shine. When an awesome family came along who looked like a good match, Dixie immediately warmed up to them – it was like she knew they were meant to be her family!
