We know it’s not always possible to keep a pet. If you have not yet considered all your options, we are available to help you find solutions that would enable you to keep your Dane (e.g., training or low-cost veterinary resources).
If you must surrender, please carefully read the information below.
We accept Great Danes from any source (shelters, owners, breeders).
Owner Surrender
NOTE: We are accepting owner surrender forms at this time but due to limited to no fosters available, it may take longer to intake a dog.
Completion of this form does not guarantee that KGDR will accept your surrendered Dane.
- We cannot accept Danes who are medically fragile beyond reasonable treatment.
- Danes with a history of aggression are considered on a case-by-case basis.
- It is very important that you complete the questionnaire as many of our foster homes have other pets and/or children, and we consider their safety first.
- Upon receiving the questionnaire, we will consider your Dane for our program and look for a suitable foster home. We will contact you about the status of the surrender.
- Because of foster home or fund limitations, it is sometimes necessary to place the dog on a waiting list.
