"Created in honour of "Gretchen the Great Dane"
Northwest Great Dane rescue works through an application process. Each family or individual interested in adopting a Dane through our program must complete an application and have it approved prior to adoption. Those with an approved application are contacted when dogs are available. Approved applicants are contacted via email before dogs are listed on our website or Facebook pages.
We require a securely fenced yard at a minimum height of five feet.If you are planning to fence your yard at a later date, please wait until your fencing is completed to fill out an application.
We do not adopt Danes to homes wishing to have a dog who lives outside.Great Danes are indoor dogs requiring close contact with their human families.
For homes already with dogs, we strongly prefer to place Great Danes with the opposite gender. (Male with female or female with male)Placement of Danes with dogs of the same gender is made only after meeting the dogs and assessing the situation.
All dogs are spayed or neutered prior to being adopted.
We adopt Danes to homes in Western Montana, Idaho and Eastern WashingtonWe follow up with all our adopted Danes throughout their lifetimes and take them back if needed.
A home visit is usually required prior to an adoption.At our discretion, we may request a visit to your home to verify fencing or other aspects of the home.
We request a donation of $250.00 plus reimbursement for veterinary costs if applicable.This includes certain vaccines, a microchip including registration fee, leash, collar, tags, and care packet. The only acceptable forms of payment are cashiers check, money order or cash. We do not accept checks or PayPal for adoption donations and/or medical reimbursements.
Please note that Northwest Great Dane Rescue reserves the right to refuse an adoption to an approved home if they deem the home is not suitable for the dog; even if an application has been approved.
Additional requirements may also apply as applicable to individual dogs.
