Urgent appeal for
foster homes. Please contact Sue or Lissi if you can
help us care for Great Danes who need temporary homes where they can be
assessed before going to their "forever home" (PS expenses are paid and you get the
satisfaction of knowing that you have helped a really good cause)
Sue and Lissi have been owners of Great Danes for
nearly forty years. They have been rescuing and rehoming Great Danes
throughout the UK since 1969.
Daneline uses
'foster' homes instead of kennels while we find good homes for the dogs.
The 'foster parents' provide local help and advice throughout the adoption
as well as providing a vital link in the aftercare service. read more about Daneline
Daneline offers a 24 HOUR HELPLINE for
support and information after re-homing.
Daneline's policy is to collect or take
in any Dane requiring a new home within 24 hours of the initial phone call.
Daneline will not exclude any Dane regardless of age, health, temperament or
behavioural problem. These dogs are then assessed and put into appropriate
foster homes that will meet the Danes individual needs.
All Danes gifted into Daneline are assessed
in an approved and fully supported foster home, NOT in kennels. Every Dane
is taken to a vet within a few days to have a comprehensive health check,
i.e. heart, eyes, ears, teeth, legs, hips, anal glands and weighed. The Dane
is then wormed, flead and vaccinated. Our Danes are weighed weekly to enable
us to monitor their progress. The Dane is then checked again by the vet
before being rehomed. All necessary operations are done as a matter of
course. The Danes leave us with a new collar and lead, vaccination card,
health history, five days food, a comprehensive information pack and a
contract which also details all we have done and any other relevant
behavioural support if required.
During the time a Great Dane is in our
care we assess their temperament and any behavioural problems or training
that need to be addressed, i.e. recall and behaviour on and off lead,
socialization with other dogs, children, visitors and livestock, separation
anxiety, possessive behaviour or aggression over food and toys and any other
quirks, likes or dislikes. Lastly, and by no means least, their manners!
This comprehensive assessment enables us to match the Dane to its new home.
