Mission Statement

Dames for Danes is an all-volunteer non-profit animal rescue organization based in Oak Ridge, TN dedicated to saving the lives of homeless, abused and neglected Great Danes in Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia, as well as to areas resources will allow.

Provisions:

Dames For Danes provides: Rescue, foster care, veterinary care, and sterilization for Great Danes in city/county animal shelters that would otherwise be euthanized. Assistance to other animal rescues and shelters needing to relocate rescued Great Danes. Foster care for Great Danes surrendered by their owners who either can no longer provide for the pets or no longer wish to have them in their homes. Adoption of rescued Great Danes to qualified homes that have been properly screened and counseled by our adoption coordinators and foster parents to maintain the pet in the home for a lifetime. Education to the public in the form of importance of humane education, animal welfare and spaying/neutering. Dames for Danes will also open our doors to Irish Wolfhounds, St. Bernards, Newfies, and Dane Mix Breeds when our room allows. We cannot always open our door to all as resources are limited but we will offer help to those in need in other ways when possible.

    Maggie and Mollie the fabulous pair!!!  We love these girls!!!  Maggie and Mollie have started out a little rough but are going to make some lucky person a fine pair of Danes.  These girls are a bonded pair who need one another to make it in life.  One does not stray far from the other.  They must be adopted together.  These girls are well behaved.  They have excellent house manners.  They do well with other dogs and children.  We are uncertain what these ladies may think of a cat so we dont recommend mixing without great caution.  The ladies are still learning to walk properly on a leash.  They are putting weight on daily and we expect when they are at full weight they will be striking within their looks.

    1. Bless their hearts! I think it is touching how they have learned to depend on each other since they obviously had nobody else to depend on. You dames are fantastic for what you do! I’m sure these girls will find their furever home very quickly.
