Congratulation s and thank you for saving that sweet old boy. I too have rescued some danes that were in pretty pitiful shape- but now-about 8 mos later, they are doing great, gaining weight and being happy well adjusted goofs.I really didnt have any intentions of keeping them- just getting them out of the kill shelter, but a being way more powerful than myself ( or husband for that matter) has decided that they are where they need to be, also there is not much of a market for an old dane. So hopefully they are here to stay for how ever long that turns out to be. Danes have a wonderful soul and personally I am thrilled to death to have 3 of them in my life.
