I too adpoted 2 danes from GGR. In Feb 2004 I adpoted 2 dane from the Rescue. I took over 9 hours and $1000 to get our dane as they took FOREVER to bring out the danes and you were only allowed in the showing area. I did everything I was told and 2 days after we brought them home (both females 1 fixed one not fixed) My older dane got sick. She was very sick Tracey told me it was just stress and she would be ok. I took her to the vet anyhow. She was found to have Kennel Cough. I called Tracey and told her and she said my vet did not know what he was doing and that she was not sick when she left their facility. The vet informed me that she had been sick for some time. I brought her in 2 days later as she seemed to not be getting any better. She had to be carried in as she was soo weak (all 115 lbs of her.) By this time she was so sick that the vet was not sure he could save her. Her stomach had twisted and I was told she was too weak to go under anastesia to fix it but if he didn't she was dead. We couldn't let her die. so she had the surgery. $3000+ later she is now a healthy dane. Well because she was so sick when we got her we were unable to have her fixed until she was better and let her fully recover for several months. Well needless to say she got friendly with the next door neighbors dog at some point and when we went in to get her fixed she was pregnant already. She delivered a week and a half later. They were all given homes with my family and she was fixed when she had her c-section to deliver the puppies. As for the second dane, she was (supposedly 2 years old) and chewed up everything and knocked over all my kids and was spastic so we gave her a new home with friends with bigger kids. Now our baby has a good home with a family who loves her no thanks to GGR. I really need to change her chip but do not have the chip # so how do I get it??? I took her GGR tag off when she was at the vet and never put it back on... Also I was never emailed or faxed as I was promised, any of my dogs records, proof of rabies ect..
