Save Rocky the Great Dane Rescue and Rehab is a federal 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of Great Danes, Great Dane mixes, and other giant breeds that have been abused, neglected and/or abandoned.We are nationwide, which means that we operate within each state in the United States. However, we are based in Texas. Our group is completely lead by volunteers whom we are grateful for.

Mission and Vision

To rescue Great Danes from neglect, abuse, and abandonment while providing medical care and individual rehabilitation through our experienced and loving foster home program until we are able to provide each rescued Dane with a qualified, caring, and permanent home that will ensure a good quality of life they deserve.To assist owners that cannot afford spaying, neutering or heart-worm treatment as funds allow while also educating owners on affordable, local spay/neuter clinics, spay/neuter benefits, vaccinations, backyard breeding, behavior, nutrition, and obedience. Additionally, we want to be a link point to other rescues and clubs. Raising awareness around rescues and the Great Dane breed is of great importance to us.Since 2011, we have been rescuing Great Danes. We take pride in the collective love, concern, and dedication we have given to the misunderstood and forgotten Danes. It is our mission to continue to be the voices of the less fortunate Danes and to provide them safety and their birthright to a quality of life filled with love and dignity. You can help us achieve our mission by donating funds, items from our wish-list, items of relevance, your time through volunteering, or by lending your home as a foster.'Saving one until there are none'

Adoption Policy

Save Rocky the Great Dane Rescue and Rehab has an adoption process that is similar to how other rescue groups adopt pets out. Below is an explanation of each step in this process and why each step is important when you decide to adopt with SRGDRR.The process begins with posting the pets to our website, Facebook page, and over 50 adoption websites. Once you find a dog you are interested in, you will fill out an application, which is forwarded to an application processor. After reviewing the application, a veterinarian check is done. The veterinarian check is followed by a phone interview with you, the applicant. Finally, a home check is done. As soon as everything has cleared, and you have signed a contract along with payment of an adoption donation, your new forever friend is not far off!https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176

"We found Save Rocky through PetFinder when we were looking to adopt a Great Dane. From the first day, they were amazing! The way Milo has brought a goofiness to our home is something only Dane owners know. He’s the funniest, most lovable dog. We also have a GSD who is adopted and was severely abused in his previous life. He didn’t know how to play with toys and wasn’t interactive with other dogs. Milo has shown him how to be a dog. He now enjoys playing with toys and Milo and him play in the yard everyday when they go outside. I’m so thankful we found Save Rocky. They are open with all the information they have about each dog and it’s easy to see how dedicated they are to finding the absolute best fit for each dog. They are always willing to help the breed and do whatever is in the power of the vets they work with the save each and every Dane. The love they have for the breed is what makes it such a joy to work with them. I’ve since transported dogs for them and the best part is seeing the relief in the dog the instant they realize they are safe and will never have to starve or be neglected again. Save Rocky are some of the most dedicated people to this breed I’ve ever met and I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future."

"Great Danes are a beloved dog to most dog lovers. They are gentle giants and their large size comes with larger bills. This leads to them being discarded more often by owners. Save Rocky is a voice for the voiceless. They adopt nationwide and are fully donation and volunteer based. They have saved thousands of Danes and XL breed dogs. With your support, they can save even more. Every week they are forced with the question of whether they will have to close intakes or not. Please consider them! They’ve given me my foster fail and I have also fostered 6 Danes with them who have found amazing and loving homes to live out the rest of their lives."

"Save Rocky is seriously the best. I follow them on social media and see how hard they work every day. I adopted from them last summer after wanting so bad to help from states away-the process was so smooth! They had everything worked out to a T! They save dogs from death row every day and will try up until the last minute to get them safe. I fully super this rescue and believe in what they do."

"I am a supporter of SRGDRR & also a previous volunteer, so I know a lot about the rescue. I cannot say enough about the dedication & just plain selflessness of every volunteer. There are so many Great Danes just walking in the streets of Tx & in the shelters & regardless of the condition of the dog they immediately set up a plan to get there & get the dog out of those conditions, great great rescue!"
