GREAT DANE
RESCUE
Illinois And Indiana
Dogs available as of
03/02/04
After some major soul searching, we have decided it is time to close our rescue doors. We will always be available to our past adopters and will always take back in any of the Danes we have adopted out. It is time now for us to concentrate on our own dogs, many whom are getting up there in years, and take care of ourselves first. We would like to thank everyone we have met on our journey here, and will always hold rescue close to our hearts.
These dogs are still left up for adoption.

| Timber Timber is a 2 year old Great Dane/Shepherd mix. This boy was found as a stray in Ohio with what is thought to be his sister. Timber must have had a hard life-this baby is so terribly scared of men. He is convinced he will be hit or beaten by men and will hide from them-However, he totally adores woman. Timber is looking for a home that has time and patience to help him realize that not all men are bad. He has made great strides so far in rescue and has begun to take treats from his foster dad, but relies on his foster mama (Me) When Timber is home with me alone, he is like any other dog. Happy and silly-thrilled to see me and always by my side or snoozing under my desk. He is as gentle as can be and does not have a mean bone in his body. He is perfectly housebroken and crate trained, very calm and well behaved indoors, rarely barks and is fine with cats and other dogs-really wanting to play with them Im not sure how Timber would be with kids, so we would recommend an adult home for him. I know he seems like he comes with a lot of baggage-and yes he does have some issues, but in the right home, Timber would make the most excellent dog. He weighs in at 117 pounds and is still underweight a bit. He is heartworm negative, neutered, current on all vaccines and microchipped UPDATE: As of December, Timber has come to trust his foster Daddy and even comes to him for petting. Timber had his first outing at Petsmart, and although reserved, he did quite well taking treats from strange men, and having his picture taken with Santa. This boy is improving everyday and has also learned that snuggling in bed on a dreary Sunday is the most wonderful thing to do! UPDATE: As of the New Year-Timber now loves his foster Daddy -even hugging and playing tag with him. So you see with time and love, Timber will make the most wonderful companion | ||
