Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love (GDFRL) is joining us for their first Spring Fling! We are so excited to have this group attend with their gentle giants. GDFRL is an extension of Ruff Love Rescue with a primary focus on rescuing and rehoming Great Danes and Dane mixes.
Great Dane Friends helps people to:
Determine the right breed for their lifestyle.
Find healthy, compatible dogs who fit their wants and needs.
Find new homes for dogs whose families can no longer keep them.
Provide all necessary medical care to return the Dane to good health.
Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love was founded in 2009 to address the significant need in the world of rescue: the emphasis of quality of rescues instead of just quantity. This organization believes that the handling of each case should be top quality, even at the expense of time or money, so that in the long run they are able to make a larger dent in the quantity of dogs they successfully save. This translates into happier dogs and happier adopters. Since 2009, GDFRL has been able to rescue over 725 dogs!
Meet Charlotte!
She came into rescue when her previous owner came on hard times & had to give her to the rescue. She went into a foster home & has been great with dogs of all sizes & even cats. She still loves to play with the other dogs but mostly loves to just supervise from the porch.
Â
She is house broken but does have an occasional unexpected one drop out due to her age. She is great on a leash & in the car. She does have some old age back spondylosis but is controlled with the occasional pain medication when she over does it or on cold days. Charlotte deserves a forever home where she can keep your couch warm & be spoiled in her golden years. Please adopt this amazingly sweet old lady!

At GDFRL, the well-being and happiness of every dog is top priority. They believe each dog should be in a foster home where they can be socialized and learn basic manners while their foster families learn about their personalities in a way that would not be possible in a kennel setting. This allows for an easier transition for both the Dane and their adopter, creating a higher success rate when matching dogs with adopters.
This rescue believes all dogs deserve a chance, regardless of age or medical condition. If they see a dog in need, they help it. They choose to count "tail wags and kisses instead of pennies." Like most rescues, puppies get adopted faster, and healthy dogs have lower vet bills, but all dogs deserve healing and love. They even have a couple sanctuary dogs!
Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love is dedicated to transparency and will never place a dog with an adopter without disclosing any known medical or behavioral traits. They ensure all dogs in their rescue receive complete medical care prior to adoption and work with professional trainers when necessary. When it comes to GDFRL, you can adopt with confidence, knowing your new friend has received the care and attention they deserve.
