Help Us Out

ATTENTION: We need foster homes! Please consider opening your home to a Dane in need.  If you want to help out, please, please fill out a volunteer application today!

We are whole-heartedly dedicated to helping surrendered dogs find their forever homes. We are an organization shaped, and directed, by our driven base of volunteers.

From managing and executing integrated fundraising campaigns, to transporting a Great Dane across state lines, everything our rescue achieves is accomplished through the generous efforts of our volunteers.

• Enhance the lives of innocent animals in need
• Meet a diverse group of people (who love Great Danes, of course!)
• Help a loving home find the perfect addition to their family
• Uncover new skills – hospitality, sales, writing and more
• Form life-long relationships with like-minded, passionate members of your community
• Educate the public on the important of rescue, and general Great Dane standards/behaviors

Joining the rescue and making a difference in the life of a Great Dane is easy. Whether you’re interested in managing events, brainstorming fundraisers, writing grants, or brining a foster into your home, we are always accepting, and empowering, the heart of our rescue:  volunteers.
