Great Dane Rescue

Hello Fellow Dog Lovers:
Give Me 5!

As you may know I am a volunteer with the Upper Midwest Great Dane Rescue. The Upper Midwest Great Dane Rescue was started in 2008 by a group of Dane lovers who desire to help Danes in need. We serve the Danes of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and the Eastern Dakotas. The rescue is made up of all volunteers who lovingly give of their time and money to help these wonderful dogs. Volunteers include people from every walk of life, all with one thing in common, love of Great Danes.
I recently accepted the challenge to participate and raise funds for our organization. I am asking for your help to support my fundraising efforts and a cause that is close to my heart. Your tax-deductible gift will make a difference in helping to ensure the health and welfare of another Great Dane. The pets in our lives give us a lot. Help me help to give back. You can make your donation online by simply by going to this link: http://thegreatdanerescue.com/donate. If you would rather give us a donation by mail, make payable to Upper Midwest Great Dane Rescue and send to:

Medical expenses are much higher than the adoption fees. I am asking you to donate just $5.00 to our organization. Your $5.00 helps pay for: vaccinations, physicals, fecal exams, x-rays, blood tests, spay/neuter, screening for heartworm, ehrlichia canis, lyme disease, anaplasma phagocytophilum, mange treatments, teeth cleaning, and so much more. Here are some of the common costs each Great Dane coming into our rescue incurs:$25.00=Physical$50.00=Annual Vaccines$50.00=Microchip$200-300=Sterilization$50.00=SNAP Test

Thanks,

One Proud Momma!

I am so proud of my grown baby as he finished his advanced obedience class tonight. For this class we have taken him to a public place each week and practiced his manners and obedience. We visited a park, the Dairy Queen, Hardware store, Ice cream parlor, outdoor music venue, and tonight for his finale we ate at a wonderful little fish cafe called the Seasalt at Minnehaha Falls. He did awesome from having good manners while waiting in line to not touching the counter while ordering, to down staying for the whole hour while we sat and ate and drank a few beers. And not to mention that the food was awesome! So what do we do next as far as obedience? I need to sign him up for his CGC which I know he will pass with flying colors, and we want to do his Therapy Dog. I think we may take a class for Rally obedience to try it out.
