Our Newest Foster

[Cheshirekatt]

I have no idea why, but when I first saw him I thought, "Gaston"! Like the character in Beauty and the Beast.

What I was told:

He is a papered Great Dane, but he has no paperwork. That was apparently retained by the courts from an abuse case. The rescue group has no paperwork about him, not even telling his name.

Give name suggestions and I will report back what we decide. My fiancee says if we don't have a name by bed time Friday night, he will get the name of the first person we see Saturday.

He was skin and bones, but is starting to fill a bit. Don't want to rush things too fast. He had his first bath last night. He did pretty well at the bath, once he was placed in the tube and realized it meant lots of pets (to rub soap in), he was fine.

Poor guy!!! You guys are always so willing to take inthe Danes that seem to need the most help...that is awesome of you!! I hope things go well and I'm sure you will have him up to weight in no time!

Oh What a Beautiful Baby!!!!!!
How about "Majic"...for Black Majic????
I know he will thrive in your care!!!
Please keep us updated....
Thank you for having the Huge Dane Heart to teke Him!!!!

[Vi Co Bi]

Okay, we woke up today and still didn't have a name. We didn't turn on the TV and intentionally avoided other people (because my rule was if he didn't have a name by this morning he'd get named after the first person we saw).

Fuzzy and I worked really hard on this and though it's not a fancy name or anything like that, HE seems to like it.

Marshall

He actually wagged his tail for it. That's the most response we've gotten out of anything we've tried on him.

[Fuzzy317]

We appreciate everyone's suggestions. We tried several names, but he didn't seem to have a reaction to any of them. Reading through a list of names, Marshall struck us as interesting.

AWWW!
Love Marshall!!!!!
a Tail Wag goes a long way!!!!!
Hug Dear Marshall for us!!!!!

[mugsy]

Marshall is a beauty! Just another case of me hating humans. Take good care of him and give him a hug for us. He is a doll baby. Poor thing, starved AND HW+. Keep us updated. (I like the name).

[ChrisH]

Poor Marshall. I am so glad he ended up with you, he will go from strength to strength now I am sure.
Please give him a big hug from me.

That picture says so much about what Marshall (love that name!) has been through. I am glad he will now have a chance to learn that not all humans are like those in his past. God Bless you for helping this sweetie! (I got a chuckle out of the possible name Maytag! Maybe I should re-name Bella "KitchenAid" because she always tries to find out what food particles might still be on my dishes and silverware when the dishwasher door is open). Hope to see some update pictures in the future as he thrives under your care.

[AdoreMyDogs]

Those pics just break my heart How could anyone let that happen to an animal? I just don't get people. Yuck

Marshall is a VERY cute name! Thank you for taking him and helping him become a healthy dog and preparing him for his future home. You are very kind people and I have a tremendous amount of respect for you.

Take care and hugs to Marshall.

Marshall is so lucky to have you as a foster Mom!! He is gorgeous!! Thanks for saving him and giving him a new chance for a great life!

[Dakota's Mommy]

Wow, thanks for saving such a cute Dane! Those pics are terrible, can't wait to see the ones with him back up to weight and looking healthy again. Thanks for taking this loveable dog in to show him that there are good humans in the world. You are such caring people to do this!
