I agree with others' responses ... don't jump the gun here. Don't panic and do something you are going to regret forever.

First, tell your vet/boarding kennel about your situation. Maybe they will waive the fee. I own a boarding kennel, I know I would.

Second, call your breeder. If he/she is a reputable breeder, I cannot imagine him/her not taking the dog back temporarily.

Third, call your local shelter/humane society. Maybe they will keep him for little or no charge, or can give you references for foster homes. And contact Great Dane rescue. I KNOW they will help in any way they can.

Fourth, call you local newspaper. Tell them your plight, and ask them to run a follow up article after the fire. Public interest stories like that always sell papers, and I'm positive you would recieve overwhelming responses.

There are a LOT of options here.

If all else fails, and I know something in the above list will work out for you, I will keep your dog for you until you have straightened things out. My husband loves Danes. I'm not sure where you are in Canada, and we may have to enlist the help of our PT friends and/or Dane rescue transport folks to get him, but I'm sure everyone would help out if they are between you and I.
