Our Mission

RMGDRI was established in September of 2000. We are a group of volunteers concerned with the welfare of Great Danes. Every day, we save the lives of Great Danes by rescuing them from harmful situations and then funding their medical care, pet medications, advanced surgical treatments, spay/neuters, food and shelter.

For many Danes that comes to us, our Rescue is literally their only hope. If we can’t help them, then no help will come. As part of our mission, RMGDRI firmly believes that it is our responsibility to do all that we can for every Dane that comes into our haven, into our care.

It is our purpose to find new, permanent, and loving homes for Great Danes that have been abused, neglected and/or abandoned in primarily Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Utah, and Wyoming. We will also consider adopting to families that live in our currently expanding area which includes Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Arizona and South Dakota.

We believe that Danes are most misunderstood because of their size. We know Great Danes to be extremely sensitive and loving creatures whose hearts are greater than they are big.

With this in mind Rocky Mountain Great Dane Rescue chooses to understand the specific needs of each Dane and adopting home in an attempt to find the best possible match.
