What's New

2004 in Review

In 2004, HHGDR found "forever" homes for 74 Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and other dogs. Since our 1992 founding we have found homes for over 1100 dogs.

We at HHGDR would like to thank ALL the donors and sponsors that have been so generous during the year. Without your generous donations we would not be able to continue to help the homeless Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and other dogs. No matter how large or small, all donations are greatly appreciated by us as well as the dogs!

We would also like to thank all the volunteers who have worked so hard for the Rescue, whether it be selling raffle tickets, transporting a dog, doing an awareness day, or working at the Rescue facility.

Below we list a few events of the past year. Much more information can be found by looking through our 2004 Newsletters and Past Events.
