For The Love of Danes Rescue

This is Sky, a handsome Blue Dane, who is neutered and micro chipped. Sky came into our care last year with the understanding he was nervous of all humans and did not get along with other animals. He previously had a negative experience in a kennel environment that led to him becoming reactive, and he began losing weight. We were told about his different personality traits, his likes and dislikes, however, we learned very quickly this would be an intake we would need to start at the basics of getting to know him before placing him.

At the time, we didn’t have an available foster home who could meet what we knew of his needs, so we took a chance and reached out to a local business called 780 Kennels. Without hesitation, Adam and his team said bring him to us. Things started pretty rocky, they could barely get food into his kennel, but since then, with an abundance of patience and skills, they have built a trusting relationship with him, so much so that he now sits in their laps when he wants his back scratched. Sky has made friends with other dogs, although for safety reasons, they are separated by the fencing in their dog runs, they still manage to play chase back and forth. In the beginning, his tail was curled in fear, and now it wags because he is learning to be happy boy. Due to Sky’s previous experience in a Kennel environment, we were concerned but after seeing how much progress the 780 team has made, we decided a few months into his rehabilitation that he was ready for the next step basic training sessions to help prepare him for adoption. Sky has been working hard to come into his fun, playful, and loving personality.

The 780 teams have made impressive and encouraging progress with Sky. However, the reality is that he will need a family with no young kids and with no other animals. He should NOT be in a busy city as the noise and activity are too much for him. Also, he will require a completely fenced property so he can get used to his new home while he settles in with his new family. We want him to be adopted by a family who is willing to make the commitment to continuing his training at 780 Kennels, seeing how much progress and success they have made. Sky deserves to be happy and loved. With Sky, his adoption comes with a $1 honorary 780 Kennels’ membership that includes multiple perks, this will help reduce the costs of his training and offers his adopters a boarding option if they were needing that service.

As a rescue, we will always do our best to find ways to say yes when there is a Dane in need, some times we cannot always be the answer but we have been extremely fortunate that we have had 780 Kennels to help us give Sky a second chance, no matter the time and effort that was needed.
