Great Dane Rescue Of the Commonwealth

Dog rescue in Virginia Beach, VA

We are a non profit group and our goal as a Great Dane rescue in the state of Virginia is to take in, rehabilitate, and rehome purebred Great Danes who are no longer wanted by placing them in foster care and carefully screening potential adopters to ensure that the perfect forever homes are found. In addition to rescuing Danes in VA, we aim to educate the public about the breed.
