Great Dane Rescue of North Texas, Inc

Our Needs

Our followers may notice that we have reduced our NTG fundraising goal to $500... which may seem odd since we have traditionally raised $10,000 to $15,000.  Here is the hard reality... right now we do not need the money ... right now we need committed, qualified foster homes to be able to save more discarded gentle giants from our area shelters.   We simply do not have the foster capacity to accommodate all the shelter requests and that does not include the 7 to 12 owner surrender requests we get each day. 

You provide the love, basic manners and structure so they can blossom to be great family members.  GDRNT provides all necessary veterinary care, including basic care, any extensive hospitalizations, treatments or medications.  a crate, monthly prevention and appropriate food for their nutritional needs.

We are thinking out of the box and trying to keep families together with Chances Fund.  Chances fund provides short term assistance for families who want to keep their fur kids but need a little bit of help. 

We also started Moby's Fund for our sheltering partners that do not have budgets for veterinary care, or specific items to help with animals in their care. 

All of this has not been enough to accommodate even the shelter requests we get each day resulting in us having to turn those dogs away.... 

If you are interested in saving a dane and can commit to fostering please contact us  via danerescue.netand complete the foster application so you can help save a life. 

Moby's Fund. 

Our smaller shelters do amazing things but often have very limited resources for medical care for the dogs in their care. Moby found himself painfully injured when he landed at this caring shelter who reached out to GDRNT. This shelter does not have veterinary staff ..in fact there are only two employees... nor do they have funding to pay for outside veterinary care. 

GDRNT was able to work with the shelter to get Moby to a local veterinarian for treatment. GDRNT was able to pay for this treatment so he could get care ASAP. 

Like many rescues right now finding foster space to accommodate all the shelter requests is a huge challenge so we are constantly trying to find new ways to help discarded danes in need. Even if it means they do not come into our program as fosters. Moby got lucky and once his stray hold was up we had a GDRNT foster spot for him .

Since Moby two other danes have benefitted from this out of the box program. NTXGiving day allows us to have these funds on hand so we CAN help dogs like Moby.

In another case we were able to get a dane medical treatment, HW treated and vaccines... and we will sponsor his neuter. We were able to work with the shelter to find experienced dane adopters.

So far Moby's Fund has made huge difference to these pups! While we do this for the pups .. we are glad to be able to help the dedicated and caring shelter staff by providing this resource.
