My sister Lorie and I were dumped on the side of the road when our owners decided they no longer wanted us!! It was very stressful for us since I am deaf and I could not hear cars coming and Lori had to protect both of us!! Fortunately we were taken to the Clermont Animal Care Humane Society and when our stray time was up they called Harlequin Haven Great Dane Rescue to come for us!! We are now safe and being fed 3 meals a day and we both got soft beds and tons of toys to play with!!!
Update 5/5: I am now ready for adoption. I will need a hearing dog to help me get settled in the home, plus that way you will always question whether I can hear or not. It is not required that my sister be adopted with me but I do really like her!
Great News!!! If you want to adopt me you MUST adopt my sister!! I am so happy that I got my wish!! I do love my sister!!
If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, you will need to follow the adoption procedures on our website. (www.hhdane.org) The procedures are on the right hand menu. http://www.hhdane.org/hhdane/procedure.htm
I have also pasted them below for your convenience. Thank you for your interest in our dogs.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Our adoption area is Ohio and Extreme Northern Kentucky (Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties) We do not adopt to any other areas. For exact area go to FAQ.
All of our rescue dogs are spayed and neutered prior to adoption. All shots including lyme & rabies, are given. They have been wormed, checked for heartworm, lyme disease & ehrlichia, and placed on heartworm preventative.
All dogs are kept for a minimum of one month for temperament evaluation and to be house trained. Registration papers are returned to the AKC as per their request and there are no exceptions.
We require a fenced yard of adequate size, to be determined on an individual basis. Fence must be at least 4 feet tall (48 inches) and must attach or surround with direct access to the building where the dog will be housed. Invisible and electric fences do NOT meet the requirements of a fenced yard. In some rare cases apartments and condos may be acceptable, to be determined on an individual basis. We do NOT place puppies or young Danes in apartments or condo’s. All pets in the home must be altered prior to applying to adopt. Adopter must be 21 years old. We do not accept checks or credit cards.
If you are in the process of installing a fence, PLEASE DO NOT submit application until the yard is securely fenced.
If you are in the process of purchasing your home or moving, PLEASE DO NOT submit your application until after you have moved and settled into your home.
We are located east of Cincinnati, outside the town of Hamersville.
