Coming soon – new puppies from Rose and Commissioner. All About Great Danes Great Dane Club of America Friends of Homeless Animals Licking County Animal Shelter Pontotoc Animal Welfare Society Hello Tracy and Burt, We are having such a great time with "Trajan." He is such a sweet boy and such an affectionate, playful pup. He has explored the house and the yard, and particularly likes to nap on the sofa, using me as a pillow. I can hardly believe how well behaved he is. He walks very calmly on a leash and follows me everywhere in the house and yard when we are out there. He loves to play with any kind of toy, and it is hard to believe that he can play so hard and be so quiet! It is so endearing to see the way he responds to us after such a short time.

I really love puppies, but it is going to be very exciting to watch him grow and see what a beautiful dog he turns out to be. We got "Trajan" all spruced up for a formal portrait and wanted to share it with you. "Cougar" as a Puppy, is second from the left (He is a rare Blue Brindle Boston/Mantle) "Cougar" all grown up, sits in the lap of his new Mom Proud Parents Danette and Tim pose with their new Baby "Zeus" ("Zeus" is a Black Boston/Mantle Puppy) His name is "Zeus" and he's an 11 week old Great Dane! We adopted him from Tracy and Burt Ward's "Gentle Giants Rescue and Adoptions" in Norco, California on May 8th. He's a bundle of energy . . . sometimes, a total brat, but he's been great! Oh, and he's got Tim's eyes! Attached are some photos of our son!

Giant Great Dane "Gibson" poses with his new Family Hi Tracy and Burt, As you know, after adopting our first Dane from you, "Zoe", we came back out this weekend to add to our ever expanding family. We adopted "Sire" (whose name we changed to "Gibson") and once again we couldn't be any happier. He came home Saturday evening and has already stolen all of our hearts. He is as mellow and well behaved as "Zoe" thanks to your talent and dedication. But, he is also just an absolute cuddler. I've attached a couple photos below, wait 'til you see him sleeping with my son! It was wonderful to see both of you and 'the herd' again. I really just wanted to tell you again how much we appreciate all that you do for these amazing Gentle Giants. Your hard work and dedication is very apparent. Once again, I was pleasantly surprised with the whole operation. The fact that there are almost 50 dogs there, and yet, not a single bark was heard throughout our visit.

The grounds are clean and well maintained with no visible 'droppings' or odor. And the dogs are happy and content (definitely not like many rescues that we've been to).Silver Lab Puppies For Sale In Jackson Ms All the dogs are so very well behaved, even when there are a dozen or more coming out together to meet and greet the prospective "parents."Furnace Blower Motor Connections They're calm and willing to wait their turn for some scratches and loving.Koreatown Los Angeles Moving Company I'm just so impressed with what you accomplish there. Having raised a puppy before, I know what kind of time and dedication is required to make them into healthy, happy, good citizens. And that was just one at a time . . . not 50!

I can't fathom the labor of love that goes on there every day. Anyway, "Gibson" is such a beautiful and super boy! Thank you so much!

We want to start recognizing all of their noble work by featuring their stories on our blog. If you are a ModiFamily member who works, volunteers or supports a positive cause reach out to us on social with #ModifyTheWorld.

We'd love to feature your story. This week's #ModifyTheWorld guest blog is from Katie DiMartino who works with the Great Dane Club of Louisiana....I'm Kate Di Martino, a Board Member of the non-profit organization Great Dane Club of Louisiana. Most of our club members show their Great Danes at various AKC dog shows through the year, and across the country. Some of our members also Judge Great Danes at AKC dog shows. Throughout the year the club participates in educational programs including the LSU Veterinary School open house, an important educational and fun event where we get to show off our Danes, talk to the public about the breed, and provide them with information on adopting and owning Great Danes. The GDCLA holds an annual raffle during our specialty dog show at the Pontchartrain Center in Kenner Louisiana.  My primary focus in the past has been as Show Chairman of our Specialty Event. This year I have concentrated on gathering donations / raffle items from businesses.

While it takes time and determination to gather raffle items it is extremely rewarding, especially knowing it’s for a great cause. The items donated for the raffle vary; bags of dog food, gift certificates from assorted restaurants, gift baskets full of goodies for dogs and for people, t-shirts & hats for local sports teams, and a highlight of our raffle the last couple of years are watches donated by Modify Watches! This annual raffle supports our Great Dane rescue program which is run by a member of our club. Our rescue program feeds, shelters, and gives any necessary vet care to Great Danes in need until a permanent home can be found for them.  In the past five months twenty-eight Great Danes have been taken into rescue. Most of them have been placed in permanent homes. At this time we have six adult Danes in rescue, and 4 puppies on the way to the rescue. One of the puppies is deaf, and we already have a home for waiting for her. All of the Danes are spayed and neutered before they are adopted.  

I have included some pictures and profiles of a couple of the Great Danes in our Rescue program. The following dogs are in Quitman, Mississippi and are available for adoption right now: Missy is the sweetheart that was seized by law enforcement.  She had been nailed in a wooden box with no food or water for an extended period.  She was close to death.  As you can see she has made a full recovery.  Her young age was part of her salvation as were the officers that rescued her.  My 6 year old Granddaughter, Emmalee, has spent hours and hours with Missy and will tell you how wonderful Missy is.  Emmalee has a Great Dane of her own and understands “rescue” is not about keeping them all but getting the best homes for each of them.  That is what Missy is waiting for right now. Ella is about 2 years old. She has been very gentle here with no aggression towards dogs or cats. She is a large girl but so very sweet. Me, in my role as Show Chairman.
