Sue and Lissi have been
owners of Great Danes for over forty years. They have been rescuing and
rehoming Great Danes throughout the UK since 1968.
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.
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.
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 needs 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.
