We (my dad Dion and I) came from a backyard breeder (Jamie Lee Chandley - Midnight Acres) in Lorain, Ohio and was a cruelty case. Click here > to access our owners court records. Life was never the best, we have always lived outside in a dog run, but it really went bad in the last several months. Our owner stopped feeding us and caring for us and because we were in the dog runs we could not even attempt to help ourselves, not that I would even know how. Luckily on Christmas Day some wonderful Police Officers arrived and needless to say when they saw us they were shocked, we were freezing to death in a outside dog run with no food or water and were covered in feces! They immediately rushed us to the Vets office to start life saving treatment, I weighted just 28 pounds, when I should have weighted closer to 65 pounds. Unfortunately it was to late for my mom (Foxy) she died just days later at the vets office.

We both still have weight to gain and to be heartworm checked, wormed, vaccinated, altered plus we also need to learn what love and proper care are and that it is here to stay.  They say it will take me longer then my dad because in my short life I have known nothing but starvation and neglect. Upon my arrival to the rescue I was given tons of toys and love Grandma promised never to let me suffer again!

We want to thank the Lorain Police Department, Lorain Animal Clinic and the Friendship Animal Protective League. Without each and every one of you we would not be here today!

Update January 15: Today I was heartworm tested, given my first vaccination and weighted. I now weigh 42.2 pounds. Grandma says I am really a sweetheart, I love giving kisses!!!
Update January 24: Dad and I were wormed last week and boy was that disgusting!!!  Grandma said she had never seen so many worms come out of a Dane before!! It actually made me sick for a couple of days but I am feeling better and acting more and more like a puppy every day!! I was weighted yesterday and although I gained a little weight I did not gain much but grandma told me not to worry that I had probably lost 10 pounds of worms! I now weigh 44 pounds!
Update January 29: I was weighted today and I now weigh 50.8 pounds and grandma says she thinks I have gotten taller too!!!

Update February 6: Grandma says that I get a special valentine gift!! I do not know what a Valentine is but the gift part sounds great!!! I am NOW ready for adoption, and that means I am going to be looking for my forever home!!! Grandma says that one day this coming week she will get a new picture of me so you can see how pretty I have become!!

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, Skylar
