Honey - a fawn dane with uncropped (natural) ears

MAGDRL is involved in quite a few activities and events to find homes for our Danes and to do fund-raising to support our work. Fund-raising is a necessity because each dog we receive is taken to a veterinarian for health checks as necessary and spayed/neutered before adoption. Because we are a volunteer organization, 100% of every single dollar raised goes toward the care of our dogs.

One common event is called a "Meet and Greet". At this type of event, MAGDRL will set up a table at a business location (typically a pet supply store) and will introduce our group to the public. We supply written information on all aspects of Great Danes and educate interested individuals or families on the prospect of adopting or fostering a Dane.

There are always some ongoing activities and fundraisers and we're always interested in taking on new volunteers! Events listed on this page include New Jersey and near-by portions of Pennsylvania, New York and Delaware.
