We do accept relinquishments when we have the space. However, for every relinquished Great Dane that we accept, she takes the place of a Great Dane that we might have been able to save from euthanization at a shelter.
Please make sure that you have exhausted every effort to find a forever home for your dog before you relinquish to a rescue. Please do not abandon your dog in a backyard or anywhere. Please do not relinquish your dog to a shelter. Great Danes are one of the first to be euthanized because they take up too much space and eat too much food.
Please know that you are responsible for doing right by your Dane and making responsible and good choices for that sweet soul. Thank You.
If you have exhausted every effort to find a forever home for your Dane and have not been successful...and you must relinquish him, please email us at: relinquish@gdrsc.org with the two forms below, completed and emailed to us.
