Midwest Great Dane Rescue

Has anyone fostered or volunteered with them?

Re: Midwest Great Dane Rescue

  • No, but they always have the prettiest dogs!!!

    I'd love to adopt a Dane someday. I believe they are very big on not adopting to anyone with young kids, but that's all I know about them.

    Are you thinking of working with them? I'd love to know more about them for future info. Big Smile

  • A friend of mine is right now in IGH...  She's had nothing but a great experience with them so far!!  The dog she's fostering has a special diet and there's a company here in the cities that provides all the ground beef for the foster animal..  The important thing to remember is these are NOT small dogs!  The crate she uses for the dog is literally a calf pen...

  • Did kateandluke get their dog from them? I can't even remember if their dog was part/whole Great Dane, but I remember it being big.

  • MesmrEwe, do you think your friend would be willing to answer a few questions by email? I'll pm my email address if she is willing. We fostered through a different rescue and weren't so happy with the rescue's policies and philosophy. I really want to make sure we find the right place for us this time around.

    We actually fostered a 120 lb. Dane who made my 30 lb. dog look even smaller. And yeah, his crate was insanely huge - we had to rearrange furniture to make it fit.

  • Yes. I volunteered with them, and I also did some work with their board on the nonprofit side of things.  I am friends with the president of their board. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. You can PM me. )
    Lots of love and continual explosions of babydust to my BG Besties! XOXOXOXO

    We do have a Great Dane mix, but we found her through Secondhand Hounds- good memory though!

    P.S. I know this isn't related to Midwest, but we're fostering for a newly started rescue and we're getting a Great Dane/Pit mix tomorrow!  Apparently he's just the sweetest thing, and loves to snuggle.  We're hoping that we don't foster-fail with this one...
