Interested in
adopting me? Click
here for our >> Adoption Procedures As you can tell I am not a Dane but I am here
at Harlequin Haven Great Dane Rescue to
hopefully get well and maybe in time find a forever home. My life was
saved by Don at
Lost
Pet Recovery!! He cared enough to come and trap me (I was too scared
to let people touch me, afraid they would hurt me). The next day Don
drove over 2 hours to bring me here to Grandma. I am being fostered here
until I am healthy enough to go to a foster home for LPR or to be
adopted, they said that is all to be decided later. The next morning
Grandma took me to the vet. The vet found that I have diabetes,
heartworm, lyme disease, hypothyroid, a corneal ulcer on my left eye and
that I am dehydrated and as you can see emaciated, I weigh a whopping
36.1 pounds. But hey I do not have worms nor ear infections!!! I was so
tired and weak when we were at the vets that I fell asleep on the x-ray
table!! I am now getting
poked with needles everyday but although they hurt for some reason they
also are making me feel so much better. Grandma is feeding me 6 times
per day and I am loving every single bite!! I just have 1
question for my owners that threw me out to fend for myself. Was I such
a bad dog that you couldn't have taken me to a animal shelter or to the
vet to have me humanely euthanized? Anything would have been better then
dodging cars, struggling to stay warm in the rain and lets not forget
starving because I could not find food!! Are you happy now?
Update 10/28: Today
was spa day and although I never had a spa day before it was pretty
great!! I got my nails cut, my ears cleaned and best of all I got a
bath!!! The bath was the best!!! Oh yeah I also got weighted I now
weigh 40.6 pounds!!
Update 4/4: Well, I am now ready for adoption. I have
been spayed, I now weigh 56 pounds, I had my heartworm treatment, I was
treated for Lyme disease and YES I still eat 5 meals a day (I love to
eat) although my meals are just 1/2 cup of dry prescription dog food and
my sugar must be tested several times a day and I must receive 2 insulin
shots each day and let's not forget I am blind. I am a very loving dog
and I do expect to be petted pretty much the whole time I am awake!! If
you wish to adopt me, you may fill out an application but please realize
I have been through a lot, and I will be picky. I have added my latest
picture below. Please can you spare a
few dollars to help the Rescue continue to help me and other Danes like
me? It would be greatly appreciated. Without the Rescue who knows
where we would have ended up!!
