The GDROC Mission Statement:
Our goal as a Great Dane rescue in the state of Virginia is to take in, rehabilitate, and rehome purebred
Great Danes who are no longer wanted by placing them in foster care and carefully screening potential
adopters to ensure that the perfect forever homes are found. In addition to rescuing Danes in VA, we aim to
educate the public about the breed.
When out at our Meet & Greet events,
many of you have questions about why we
rescue Great Danes.  
Click here for our video explanation.
Without foster homes, we cannot help homeless Danes.  It is crucial we get enough
foster families so we can continue our work.

Why Do We Rescue ?
Black Dog Syndrome
Did you know that large black dogs are often the
last to be adopted from shelters and rescue
organizations?  We assure you that color has
nothing to do with the personality of the dogs.
Here is a wonderful
video on You Tube created to
explain Black Dog Syndrome.  
A Beautiful Ending ...... After Such Difficult Beginning:   The Story of Layla
It was a fall morning when our rescue team arrived at a property in
Central Virginia. Layla was one of 6 Great Danes being severely
neglected.  She was determined to have a broken leg and a huge
wound.  She was brought into the care of GDROC and began her
journey to happiness.   To see Layla's story,
