Besides, they could very well have your dog ready and waiting for you.

So, without further ado, onto the rescues!

Finally

Five different rescues that you can get in contact with right away.

Of course, the Harlequin Haven Great Dane Rescue should be your first port of call.

Nevertheless, the other reputable rescues are another suitable place to look should your inquiries at Harlequin prove less fruitful than you would have hoped.

Either way, do your research, have a few conversations, and remain consistent and patient in your adoption efforts.

In doing so you will find the right Great Dane for you.
