wow..i was contacting GG to adopt a dane last year..i was told the lowest adoption fee was $400!!!! I was shocked...i have worked in animal shelters,animal hospitals and was a foster home for mastiff rescue- i can imagine asking that much for a adoption fee!!! I really made me question as to weather they actually WANTED to adopt a dane to me..or anyone for that matter! I had owned a dane before, and like i said i fostered for mastiff rescue..i have a lot of experiance with large breed dogs- i live in a big house with a big fenced yard..yet i felt like they were saying i wasn't good enough to have one of THEIR danes.
oh well..i went to petfinder.com and found daisy- i did spend $210.00 in adoption fee to get her-( the rescue first told me 150..then the price kept going up!) which i still think is very high seeing as she had an obvious skin alllgery thing going on and they never took her to a vet in the 8 months they had her- but thats anouther story completely.
I would not be surprize to learn that GG is more of a great dane hording situation then a true adoption rescue, and to hear that people ..who paid at least 400$ mind you- got dogs with problems and such ..thats just sick and cast a poor light on the good work TRUE rescue orginizations are doing!
