Mission Statement:

Upper Midwest Great Dane Rescue was started in 2008 by a group of Dane lovers who desire to help Danes in need. The rescue is made up of all volunteers who lovingly give of their time and money to help these wonderful dogs. Volunteers include people from every walk of life, all with one thing in common, love of Great Danes. Each animal coming to the rescue is temperament tested, given a physical, sterilized, vaccinated, wormed, checked for heart worm and tick borne illnesses and treated as needed. The dog is then placed in a foster home to wait for someone to love it forever.

UMGDR is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization and all donations to the rescue are tax deductible.
