Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I was dumped in Martens Park in Lancaster, and left to fend for myself!! I was terrified and hungry when this nice man showed up and started giving me bunches of yummy food!! When he ran out he actually went and bought more for me!! Then 2 other men showed up and they built this fence thing and well when the nice man put food in the fence thingy I had to go get the food and well the rest is history!! He caught me and they took me to the Fairfield County Animal Shelter where I had to wait a stray hold!! That made no sense to me after all my owner dumped me and never looked back and HEY I have not had a great life as you can tell by my body and coat condition. But they said it is the law and it was not up to me! As soon as my stray time was up the shelter called Harlequin Haven Great Dane Rescue to come for me and a few hours later I was headed to the rescue!! When I arrived at the rescue I was given a nice soft bed, tons of toys and best of all food, life is good!! I am now being fed 4 times a day!! Ya know a gal can get used to this life!!
I want to thank Don with Lost Pet Recovery that fed me all the McD's, all the people at the Fairfield County Animal Shelter and the nice lady (Bethany) that picked me up and brought me to the rescue! Without all of you I would still be out trying to fend for myself!!
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, Extreme Northern Kentucky (Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties), and a portion of Eastern Indiana. 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, except for 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.

2. A volunteer will call or e-mail to let you know if we have a dog that would work in your home at this time. If we have a dog that would work in your home then an appointment will be set to come and view the dogs. We are open Saturdays by appointment ONLY.
3. With an appointment, you may come to view up to 3 dogs. All family members and dogs living in the home are required to come for this visit. This better enables us to help you find the perfect dog for you home and family. If you find a dog you wish to adopt, there is a 1 week waiting period which will allow you time to think about what you are doing prior to adopting.
4. If you decide to adopt and your application is approved, you will be given an appointment to return to the Rescue to adopt.
