In February 2015 Dane Haven received a message from a rescuer in California who had answered a craigslist add for a Dane. She went out and saw Grace and the environment that she was living in.

Grace had been used for breeding. She was kept in a wooden crate that had nails protruding, these nails would stab Grace no matter which direction she moved. She was emaciated and not trusting. The rescuer took Grace after seeing the conditions in which she is residing in.

The rescue took her home and started treating the wounds that covered her back and sides. She then contacted us asking us to take Grace.

We made the trip to California to pick this sweet girl up. Upon her arrival to our location she went into a foster home where the foster parents started working on gaining Graces trust, helping her heal both physically and emotionally.

Grace has had to go to a skin specialist due to the wounds not healing properly. With her visit to the skin specialist we learned not only did she have an infection in the wounds she also had dermatitis.

As Grace began to become comfortable in her foster home her fosters found that she needed work on proper behavior around other dogs. She and her family started working with a trainer where she has learned that other dogs are not going to hurt her and she has no reason to be afraid.

With the help of Grace's foster family, Grace has become a wonderful, healthy, happy, fun, loving, sweet girl. She is currently waiting for her forever family to come along.

 

It's Danes like Delilah and Grace that your donations help. Delilah and Grace's medical cost, including vaccinations, spay, and medications, so far have been between $900 and $1500. These costs do not include the everyday expenses of food, treats, collars, leashes, dog beds and such.

Saving these beautiful girls and the many others like them that come into our rescue would not be possible without the help of people like you. Please help us save the life of a Dane and make a difference.
