November 26, 2007
We are about to receive a large number of Danes (possibly over thirty!) from a puppy mill in Lakeland that is being shut down by the State of Florida due to poor living conditions. We are in great need of dog food. Pedigree is our preferred brand, but we can mix donations of other brands with it. Cash donations are also greatly appreciated, and help us with the Danes' medical needs. Arrrgyle (see the Available Danes page) is the first of the dogs from the puppy mill. Considering his problems, we expect significant medical expense with this group.

Available Danes
	Malcolm is a 14 month old black boy with natural ears.  His owners did not want him anymore. He has severe demodectic mange with almost no hair on his body.  Was red and raw and skinny when dropped off.  Very, very sweet boy.  Happy and loving. Malcolm is in foster care.  Click here to read what his foster mom says about him. July 7, 2008 update.
Photo Soon!	Shelby is a 2 year old blue merle female with natural ears. We're keeping our eye on her right now. She is extremely shy.  Owners did not want anymore.
Photo Soon!	Lolly is a 2 year old mantle female with natural ears.  Shy.  Owners did not want anymore because they are having their third baby.
Photo Soon!	Shiloh is a 10 month old black boy with natural ears. We have him as a result of a drug raid by the police.  He was kept in a tiny kennel.  Does not get along with all dogs, but is very nice.
	June 12, 2008:  We just picked up a mother, father and 3 puppies from Citrus County Animal Control. The mother, Jenna, is 6 months old, black with natural ears.  She is very emaciated, so skinny that they could not even microchip her.  She was dropped off by the owners with nine puppies.   Three had died on the way to Animal Control of flea anemia. When I arrived, three more had died because Animal Control had left the puppies with the mom and she had crushed them.  So now we have three two-day old puppies.  Two mismarked blacks and one mantle.

Photo Soon!	New in November 2007 Malcolm is a ten year old fawn male with natural ears. He is visually impaired and hearing impaired. I adopted him out when he was ten months old to a lovely couple. Just recently, the wife, at 43 years old dropped dead in the living room. I just got Malcolm back at ten years old. He is shy. Loves to sit on the couch, with his front feet still on the floor.
Photo Soon!	New in November 2007 Serena is a one and one-half year old blue merle female with natural ears. She was an animal control seizure for abuse and neglect. She is very reserved and has not shown us much personality yet. She is food aggressive.
Photo Soon!	New in November 2007 Nikki is a one year old blue merle female that was an owner give-up. They had gotten a divorce and neither had time for the dog. She is nice but a little hard headed. Gets along well with others.
Photo Soon!	New in November 2007 Annabelle is a one and one-half year old black female with natural ears. She has white feet and chest. She was an animal control seizure that was tied to a tree and not fed. She is spring loaded and loves attention. She has the speed of a greyhound and the grace of a gazelle! Loves to please.
	New in November 2007 Arrrgyle is a fourteen month old mantle boy with natural ears. He was kept in the back seat of his owners' car for over a week and a half. Before that he must have been confined to a small crate since he has advanced arthritis in his spine. He also has bladder stones and pano in his left femur. He is terribly emaciated. He only weighs 85 lbs. He cannot walk on his left rear leg. All the muscles in his right rear leg are atrophied due to confinement. He is extremely sweet and wags his tail even when he is drinking water. He had thousands of fleas on him when the owner dropped him off. We sprayed him with flea spray many times and I have never seen that many fleas on a dog! He will need a lot of rehab and TLC over the next several months.
Photo Soon!	New in July 2007   Darby is a 10 month old female mantle merle with natural ears.  She is very emaciated, only 69 pounds!  Bag of bones but quite loving!  Beautiful color and quite exuberant!  She came from an Animal Control seizure in Jacksonville.
Photo Soon!	New in July 2007 Ollie is a 4 year old black male with natural ears.  He's the tallest Dane we have ever seen.  On the thin side.  Shy.  He came with Lexi.  Both of these kids were the product of a divorce.
	Honey is a 3 year old black female with cropped ears.  She was found running loose on Highway 41 by a policeman.  He stopped traffic and picked her up.  He happened to live in our neighborhood and brought her to us.
	Waldo #27 is a 2 year old mantle male with cropped ears.  He has been burned by cigarettes and they used a pair of pliers on his love handle.  He is only 102 pounds and should be about 170.  They also sawed off all four of his canine teeth so he couldn't bite them.  He is a very sweet boy, but very clingy.
Photo Soon!	Artemus is a 10 month old male blue merle with natural ears. He was boarded at his vet's office by owner and owner never returned for him.  He was then transferred to animal control after 6 weeks of boarding. Does not like men.  Is slow to trust humans.  He is very thin.

	Phoebe is a 9 month old black female with natural ears.  Very, very shy, but sweet.  Owner gave her up because they had no time and children didn't like her.
	Admiral is a fawn male with natural ears, between 2-3 years old. He was an animal control seizure for abuse and neglect. The owner had 4 other dogs that were all fat and healthy, but this poor dane belonged to her husband whom she hated. So to get back at her husband, she confined the dane and purposely tried to starve him to death. As a full grown adult male, he weighed a whopping 72 pounds. his cheek bones were sticking out of his face farther than his eyes that were sunken into his skull. DISGUSTING! He is currently at the animal emergency clinic because of severe pancreatitis. They did not know if he would even live thru the night due to the malnutrition.
	Angel is a 1-1/2 year old harlequin female with natural (uncropped) ears.  She is scared of men. She was found running loose in Sebring in the road. She is a very sweet and clingy girl.
