Emergency Status

Submitted by tammy on Wed, 09/18/2002 - 12:00am

We are full to the brim and are currently running in emergency status. We have 5 danes in emergency boarding and we expect at least 2 more by Saturday. Each dane costs us $52.50 to board for one week. That's $262.50 per WEEK to board 5 danes.

How can you help?

1. We need funds for emergency boarding. $52.50 per dane per week.

2. We need qualified foster homes. The more foster homes we have, the more danes we can save. If you are a past adopter and have been thinking of fostering...now is the time to act.

We are at capacity! Danes will begin to die in area shelters if we do not act immediately. We transported 12 Texas danes to a reputable rescue in Idaho who has WAITING ADOPTERS. This cost us $1500 for rental of van & gas.


Highlights of DaneFest 2002

Submitted by tammy on Mon, 03/18/2002 - 12:00am

Our first Annual DaneFest with over 65 people and 6,082 pounds of dane there was a smashing success!!!!

All said that it was well worth the drive and they are glad they came. We had over 55 danes and several other breeds were represented too. I think many owners were surprised at how much their danes enjoyed swimming in and chasing each other around and through the pond.

DANEFEST IS ON! COME ON OUT!
