A cutie pie, and a total heart break when you know he has only hours to live. But once again, I am on the wrong coast. And unfortunately for him, statistics say that most danes that are mixed with anything, have a harder time being adopted. Guesses are that the ones who want a dane want a dane and not a mix. I hate it though the poor guy did  not ask to be mixed with anything. And please dont take this as my personal opinion, that I think that they are less in any way. It is just the sad statistic that breeds like danes, mastiffs, dobies and rotties are for some reason rather hard to adopt out when they are mixes.

I will keep all I have crossed and hopefully a sweet soul from the west coeas will come forward and give him a home.

Have you contacted any dane rescues, some of them do work with mixes too?

He's ADORABLE! and looks so sad! I wish I were closer, too, but if there's anything I can do let me know - keep us posted.

We're in California, but pretty far away (5-6 hours).  Please let me know if there is anything we can do.    :(

I hope someone can help Lil Rascal!  I called and he is still available (as of 2 pm today).  There is a Great Dane rescue in Northern California (http://groups.msn.com/GreatDaneRescueofNorthernCalifornia), but I don't know anything about them.  I'm too far away to get there, and I haven't been able to reach the people at the rescue.  Anyone else have any luck?

Okay, I finally got a hold of a person at the rescue.  They have someone in the area, and will try to rescue him.  The only catch is that he has to be enough like a Great Dane that they can place him.  Fingers and paws crossed!   :)

If anyone hears anything, please let us know!

You are awesome! I hope they can take him-his face looks like a dane, he is kind of small, mini-dane :)
fingers and paws crossed!

He looks like an American bulldog mix to me.

I'm just hoping that he'll be Dane-like enough that they can help him out!  I don't know who else to call since he's listed as a Great Dane mix.  Poor guy looks so scared.

I just contacted these people: http://www.gentlegiantsrescue.com/
in the hopes they can help.
I live in BC, but it's still too far away to help this poor fella.
Keeping my fingers crossed

He is so cute! I wish I could help but I'm too far and I just can't afford another dog. I really hope someone will help.
