All Danes adopted through Dane Outreach are spayed or neutered before adoption and vaccinated as needed. New owners are provided with a collar, leash, ID tag, and information on care. Dane Outreach has a policy that all dogs processed through our program will have microchip identification. Dane Outreach will cover the cost of the microchip but the charge for implanting and the owner registration fee will be added to the donation. Contact with the new owners is made on a regular basis.
Every effort is made to keep our contacts informed on the status of our program.
The program is devoted to finding permanent, loving homes for unwanted Great Danes and providing education on the breed. Dane Outreach is funded solely through donations. For the calendar year 2000 Dane Outreach received contacts regarding 125 Great Danes needing new homes or assistance. Additionally, a large number of educational materials have been distrubuted through booths at pet fairs and dog shows. Dane Outreach volunteers have also spent many hours of phone time answering questions on the breed and assisting owners in a variety of ways.
