We were asked to assist a 4-year-old Great Dane, Male, Merle, whose O. had been evicted from their apartment. This Dane entered a kill pound along with a female Great Dane. We are presently trying to find information on her.

I am going to call him: BHRR’s Acher – The spiritual meaning of ‘Archer’ – *It is the letting go* – We shall be letting go of his past, he lives in the present, and we are looking forward to his great future!

The biblical meaning of ‘Archer’ – *The archer is a striking symbol of strength* It is a strong name for a very sweet and shy boy who has gone through so much, and inside he has a strength that we will ensure he truly realises and reaches his full potential.

He is in need of the following if anyone may consider his cause:

What is urgently needed right now:

1) He will need a cloth martingale collar and leash, plus an XL dog bed – Costco’s Charlie beds are excellent.

2) Donations towards Vet Bills. We will need to fully vaccinate him, proactively/preventatively deworm him, do bloodwork, including testing for Tickborne and Heartworm, do pre-operative bloodwork, microchip him, neuter him, and address anything else that we may find that needs medical attention.

Thanks in advance!

Dear sweet boy, I am coming for you…you will be safe…just hold on a bit longer!!!

He is our first rescue of 2026. We are still looking for a foster spot for the 10-month-old English Sheepdog.

Once he is safe, we shall begin to post videos and photos.
