About Us

The Northwest Great Dane Rescue will not be taking any dogs beginning September 23 until October 20th in order to give our foster homes a break and allow for scheduled vacations. Thank you for your patience.

Northwest Great Dane Rescue is a non profit group established in 2014 dedicated to the rescue of local Great Danes in need. Although we have been known to go out of state, most states and areas have their own local Dane rescues and so this is rarely needed. The rescue as it is called now was reconfigured in 2014 in order to achieve non profit status. Prior to being Northwest Great Dane Rescue it was called Gretchen’s Place, named after one of the very first Great Dane’s to be rescued back in 2004. Approximately  120 Danes have been placed in awesome loving homes since its conception. Along with fostering these dogs we provide the needed medical care, each one is spayed or neutered, temperament tested and micro-chipped. We then match it with the perfect owners. We are always looking for foster homes or if you are looking for a Great Dane as a wonderful companion we encourage you to fill out an application which can be found here.
