Sponsor-a-Dane
Consider Sponsoring. Be an Angel.
We firmly believe that we should do all that we can to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome Great Danes in need. Your sponsorship makes this life-saving work possible.
Many of these gentle giants require expensive medical care—spaying or neutering alone can cost more than $600 per dog, and special needs Danes often require even more extensive treatment. Without support, these dogs face uncertain futures and the risk of euthanasia.
Through your sponsorship, we can continue to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome Great Danes who would otherwise have nowhere to turn. Your monthly or one-time contribution directly saves lives.
What is Sponsorship?
When you sponsor a Great Dane, you're making a commitment to help cover their care costs while they're in our program. Your monthly or one-time sponsorship directly supports your chosen dog's food, medical care, and daily needs.
Sponsorship is perfect for those who want to help but can't adopt or foster. You'll receive updates on your sponsored Dane and know you're making a real difference in their life.
Why Sponsorship Matters
Direct Impact
Your sponsorship goes directly to your chosen dog's care. You'll know exactly which Great Dane you're helping.
Special Needs Support
Many Great Danes need expensive medical treatments or long-term care. Sponsorship helps cover these critical costs.
Extended Care
Some dogs stay with us for months while waiting for the right home. Sponsorship ensures they receive quality care throughout their wait.
Regular Updates
Receive photos and updates about your sponsored Dane's progress, personality, and journey to their forever home.
Special Programs
Special Needs Danes
Often we have Danes in our program who require advanced medical care beyond routine spay/neuter and vaccinations. These special needs dogs face a high risk of suffering or euthanasia without proper intervention and care.
RMGDRI provides veterinary consultations and advanced medical treatment to ensure these dogs can live happy, healthy lives despite their special needs. Your sponsorship makes this life-saving care possible.
Permanent Foster Program
Some Great Danes come to us who are terminally ill or too sick to be adopted into traditional homes. Our board of directors and veterinarians carefully assess each dog's quality of life and determine the best care plan.
These special dogs remain in dedicated foster homes where they receive compassionate care and love for the remainder of their lives. RMGDRI provides ongoing financial and medical support to ensure their comfort and quality of life until their journey ends.
Sponsoring a Permanent Foster dog means giving a terminally ill or chronically sick Great Dane dignity, comfort, and love in their final days.
Our Permanent Foster Danes
These special Great Danes are in permanent foster care. Your sponsorship directly supports their ongoing medical care and quality of life.
