The Doggy Bloggy

I just found out that dogs can donate blood.  I guess that makes sense, where else would the blood come from when a dog gets a transfusion? Duh.  But I never thought about it – did you?  Say no so I don’t feel so stupid.

I found out because the Great Dane Assistance League, Inc., is holding a Great Danes Giving Blood Drive on Saturday, March 28, at 9 am at the Animal ER in Littleton, CO (see address below).  GDALI is a Denver organization dedicated to the welfare of the coolest breed of dog in the world (I’ve had five, I’m somewhat biased).  They take in abandoned, abused and owner-surrendered Danes and help them find loving, permanent homes.  

GDALI has a plethora of exciting events scheduled, including several PetsMart Dane Days, a day at Elitch Gardens and their annual picnic.  See the full schedule with dates and details here.

If you’ve ever considered bringing one of these magnificent dogs into your family, you should check out any of GDALI’s events.  Meet some Danes, get to know their amazingly gentle, dopey personalities, fall in love, adopt.  I know from experience, once you go Dane, you’re never the same. 

Info:  Animal ER is located at 221 West County Line Road, Littleton.  Phone: 720-903-9667.  Blood drive starts at 9 am, March 28th.  Adopt a Dane or donate to GDALI here.
