Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love

Dog rescue in Iron Station, NC

Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love was started by a group of volunteers dedicated to saving Danes and other dogs, especially dogs that may be passed up by other rescues due to special needs. We are an extension of Ruff Love Rescue, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Thomasville, NC.

Great Dane Friends helps people to:
* Determine the right breed for their lifestyle.
* Find healthy, compatible dogs who fit their wants and needs.
* Find new homes for dogs whose families can no longer keep them.
* Provide all necessary medical care to return the Dane to good health.
