Michigan Friends Great Dane Rescue started as part of Michigan Friends Rescue Shelter. MFRS had been rescuing more and more Great Danes so, it was decided to start a branch off MFRS for the Great Danes which we call Michigan Friends Great Dane Rescue. All funding is seperate. WE ARE NOT BREEDERS- WE ARE A VERY SMALL DANE RESCUE THAT USUALLY ONLY TAKES IN 30 LOCAL DANES PER YEAR (Most Pregant) TO KEEP THEM FROM BEING SOLD TO RESEARCH OR BEING PUT TO SLEEP. THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL BACKYARD BREEDERS AND SMALL PUPPY MILLLS UP HERE IN THE AREA THAT WE TRY TO GET AS MANY OF THE PUPPIES AS WE CAN AFFORD TO A YEAR AWAY SO WE CAN HAVE THEM SPAYED/NEUTERED AND PLACED INTO EXPERIENCED HOMES. WE ARE VERY FUSSY WHERE OUR DANES GO! WE DO NOT ALLOW ANY OF OUR DANES ADOPTED TO HAVE THEIR EARS CROPPED.
