Meet Lilo:
Lilo is staying with us until the great folks at the Great Dane Rescue can find her a forever home.
What made me decide to foster? I've already got 2 male Danes. My house is only 1250 sq ft and we're happy but snug with 3 adults (well, 1 is a teenager, 2 Great danes, 1 cat and about 15 fish. Why would I want to bring another set of jumbo paws and a killer tail into this house? Do I really NEED more drool? YES!!!!
When I was looking for my boy, I found the GDRNT. I ended up adopting througha rescue in Austin. It was just a timing issue. But, I've kept going to the GDRNT website. Lots of local Dane owners on the discussion board there.
I found myself in tears one day, while readin posts on the GDRNT discussion board. They are full. Overloaded. Maxed out! They simply have no more room anywhere for shelter Danes. They have to turn away the magnificent beasts!
This is too awful! Both of my boys were shelter dogs before they were turned over to a rescue organization. If there had been no room for them... (shudder) I can't think about it! It's too terrible!
http://www.danerescue.net/ is the website. Maybe someone can help. I know they've had several more fosters come aboard in the past week or so. But, it's not enough. They cannot accept anymore shelter dogs, there still isn't enough room. Maybe you can help or, someone you know. If nothing else, think happy thoughts!
I thank you for listening. So do my boys and their foster sister, Lilo.
