Rescue a Great Dane
HOW IT WORKS
The GDLAWA is pro-active in helping rescue Dane owners and Danes that need a new home due to a change in circumstances.
We work with all of the Rescue Agencies in WA and have a network across the country to assist in successful rehoming as needed. Our Rescue programme is supported entirely by member’s fees and donations. If medical costs have been incurred in the care of a Great Dane, new or previous owners will be asked to contribute towards those costs where possible.
Our Rescue Coordinator keeps a Waiting List of people who have been screened as wanting to become a Great Dane owner to ensure we can match them with the right dog that suits their existing dog, family and lifestyle.
As dogs become available the list of people will be contacted to see if there is a match, and if not, they will be added to the website and various social media sites. Not every person offering will be considered for a every rescue and we do not contact every person for every Dane as we aim to match the dog with the right home. (i.e if a dog came in that was not good with cats or small animals and someone on the list had those pets, they would not be contacted).
The goal is always for the Great Dane to go to its permanent home via this process so we do as much as we can to ensure that.
It is important to note that the GDLAWA does not have kennels and cannot take dogs easily into care. We rely upon former owners being able to keep their dogs until a new home is found, or fostering by experienced members. At all times, all pets safety is paramount.
The GDLAWA cannot accept surrendered Great Dane crosses due to our limited capacity, but we can certainly assist with listing, sharing and screening of prospective homes wherever possible.
