The Great Dane Lovers Association of WA
Rescue
February 2004, the GDLAWA heard of a Great Dane that was found a few weeks earlier in Maylands WA. When the Dane was found, it was in good health which indicated it was probably someone's pet. Unfortunately, by the time the association heard about the Dane, it's health had deteriorated and it failed a vet health check. The Dane was put to sleep a few weeks after being found.
The GDLAWA is being pro-active in trying to help rescue Danes and Danes that need a new home due to a change in circumstances. The Association has contacted every metropolitan, and major country towns' pounds & rescue centres asking them to contact the GDLAWA if a Dane comes into their care. When the association is contacted, we will do our best to find the owners or a home for the Dane.
We will list on this page details of any Danes that are in need of a home.
If you are interested in taking a rescue Dane full-time or just on a temporary basis, please contact the association.

added to the list
(When using this link please remember to include a phone number so we can contact you at short notice)
Daisy
Daisy is a 4 year old sterilised Harlequin who is sadly being rehomed by her owners due to a change in circumstances. Daisy is very bouncy, playful but a bit edgy and needs to go to a Great Dane experienced home where time & some further training and socialisation can be given to her. Daisy has lived happily with a calm Great Dane male but she pushes him to play and can be a bit forceful so might not suit living with a dominant dog and best not to be another female. She would not be suitable for a home with cats or small children under 10 years as she has shown some nervousness when the baby approaches her. She is currently suffering from some Happy Tail wounds and may need some ongoing medical care to repair it. Daisy is based in Sinagra and to meet her, please call Lisa on 0417 716 155 during the daytime only.
Myra
Myra is a young Great Dane female that was collected from a Pound by the GDLAWA. There is no known information about this girl but she is quite underweight. She appears healthy and certainly playful with humans but has had very limited socialisation with dogs or an unpleasant experience. She has growled and leapt at large dogs (Labrador and up) but been reasonable with small dogs. She joined in an obedience class recently and performed very well for a poorly socialised dog. Myra needs to be homed to a very experienced and committed Great Dane owner and it may take a long time before you could safely leave her unsupervised with another dog, rather than risk any problems. Urgent and ongoing training & socialisation would be needed for Myra to become the good canine citizen that she could be. Myra is unsterilized & dependent on the go ahead by the vet to sterilise whilst underweight, she will be speyed as soon as possible. Myra is in foster care in the outlying southern suburbs and to discuss Myra interested people, should call our Rescue Coordinator, Laura on 0413 615 573. Laura works full-time so if she is not able to answer the phone immediately, please leave your name & number.
