Our mission is clear: Rescue, Rehabilitate & Rehome<br />
Although the <strong>Dane</strong>s are all surrendered/rescued from different backgrounds, they all<br />
receive the same amount of care, love, medical attention and guidance. In foster<br />
care they are rehabilitated to become the perfect companion so that they can be rehomed<br />
successfully.<br />
“Every <strong>Dane</strong> that comes our way will get the best chance at having a better life no<br />
matter how much time or money they may need.”<br />
Monique Burrows<br />
The rescue group works with numerous organisations in both the Free State and Western<br />
Cape. Most recently a Great <strong>Dane</strong>, aptly named Vida (meaning life) was brought<br />
into the Animal Anti Cruelty League in Bellville, who alerted Great <strong>Dane</strong> Rescuer and<br />
requested our assistance. Vida was brought in so underweight that both AACL and<br />
Great <strong>Dane</strong> Rescuer were convinced that she would succumb. Without hesitation it<br />
was agreed that she would join the Great <strong>Dane</strong> Rescuer family and that all our efforts<br />
and resources will be dedicated to Vida, to nurse her back to life. After various vet<br />
visits and amazing foster care, Vida was hardy recognizable as the same sad <strong>Dane</strong><br />
that collapsed at AACL on the day that a massive storm was about to hit Cape Town.<br />
Cases of <strong>Dane</strong>s being fed wood shavings, being raped, starved, left with broken<br />
bones, dumped, or simply neglected are occurrences that the team is familiar with.<br />
However, the most absurd rescue since Great <strong>Dane</strong> Rescuer was founded, was when<br />
3 dirty, skinny, mangy pups, with Entropion, were handed through the window at<br />
McDonalds.<br />
