Southwest Great Dane RescueFOSTER HOMES ARE ALWAYS NEEDED.PLEASE FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. If you would like to see more pictures of our Danes in action please go to: http://SWGDR.blogspot.com/ Since its incorporation in 1998, Southwest Florida Great Dane Rescue has placed over 348 Danes in new homes. Most Danes come into rescue at 18 months of age because they are no longer cute puppies; they are large dogs, expensive to maintain and needing more training and attention than many people are prepared to give. It is important to realize that most Danes are not couch potatoes and need more than a walk around the block twice a day. Great Danes are active, fun-loving dogs that make great companions! Although they are large dogs, their average lifespan is from 8 to 12 years of age. The leading causes of death in Great Danes are heart problems, bloat and cancer. Predominately white Danes are typically deaf and may have eye anomalies including blindness. Potential adopters should be alert to these health problems and the increased costs of medical treatment for dogs the size of Great Danes. We are looking for permanent, loving homes that will last these rescued Great Danes a lifetime. Adoptive owners should be willing to provide appropriate food, medical care and a loving, healthy environment for their adopted Great Dane. Great Danes should be kept as house pets in close companionship with their families; they should never be allowed to run loose or left outdoors unsupervised. All dogs are spayed or neutered before they leave us. If you are interested in adopting one of our Great Danes, please review the steps involved in our adoption process. Fill out our adoption application and submit it for review. Your references will be checked. A home check will be done by one of our volunteers. Possible adoptive Danes will be discussed. An adoption fee of $275. for adult dogs and a minimum of $300. for dogs under 2 years of age will be charged,and 500.00 for puppies This fee is used to offset rescue and medical costs. A legal adoption contract will be signed by both parties. We welcome your questions via our email address. Thanks for your interest in Dane Rescue.

Rufus is a 3 year old neutered male with a wonderful personality. He does not jump, or nip. He has had some formal training and is very well behaved. His previous owner moved from Ohio and could not keep him. Rufus is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs. He is sure to make someone a special friend.

I am a loving, smart, and well-behaved companion. I have been to obedience training, am neutered, and my ears are cropped.
When I was younger I really enjoyed my outside time, but in the last year or so I have slowed down some and prefer to stay inside and sleep on my bed.
I have no health problems other than arthritis, mostly in my hips. I need a quiet home to finish growing old in.
