2005 in Review

In 2005, HHGDR found "forever" homes for 57 Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and other breed dogs. Since our 1992 founding we have found quality homes for 1162 dogs.

The number of homeless dogs was very high in 2005. Unfortunately adoptions were down. Our previous adopters stepped up and for the first time provided more forever homes to dogs than did new adopters.

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 homeless 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 2005 Newsletters and Past Events.
