Harlequin Haven Great Dane Rescue

Nick

Our owner turned us (Chloe, Diana, Bella, her puppies and myself) over to Harlequin Haven when they were moving out of state so she could care for her ill mother.

Harlequin Haven was already full but still agreed to take all of us (4 adults and 5 puppies). Our owner claimed to be a rescue and told HHGDR that we were all dropped off to her when our owners no longer wanted us. Then she was breeding us so we could produce puppies for her to sell. If we did not come to her with AKC papers she was registering us with the CKC so we had papers. Grandma here at HHGDR says that a real rescue does NOT breed rescue dogs to make more homeless dogs. Grandma also says a reputable breeder does NOT breed a dog until it is an adult yet we all were used for breeding before we were even 2 years old! Of course anyone breeding should at least know what color the dogs are and our owners told the rescue I was a mantle and I am NOT a mantle I am just a plain old black with white markings!!

None of us were house pets we were just breeding machines and we all lived outside together, our owner claimed that after all of us were dumped on her she did not have room for us in her house!

It is nice having a warm building and bed to sleep in at nights. Now we must all learn to be loving pets.

Please can you spare a few dollars to help the Rescue continue to help me and other Danes like me it would be greatly  appreciated. Without the rescue who knows where we would have ended up!!
Thanks, Nick
