Hello! I am the Treasurer of PGDR&R.

I am mom of two adult children. My passion is my animals. This all started for me with a trip to the vet, enquiring about a puppy, when Terri asked have you thought about a Great Dane. She was so right when she said there is no love like Dane love! I am the proud fur-momma to 2 beautiful Dane girls and an honorary Dane that's actually a 6lb Yorkie-Poo.

In order to surrender your dog to our organization, it must BE YOUR DOG, you need to call (724) 723-7085 or email us with a in depth description of the issues your are having in order to see if your dog qualifies for surrender. After that has been determined one our representatives will email out a surrender form that needs to be returned with the following....

IF YOU LIVE OUT OF THE STATE OF PA, LAW REQUIRES A RABIES, DA2PPVL, BORDATELLA, PARASITE SCREEN AND HEALTH CERTIFICATE BEFORE CROSSING STATE LINES.
We require a current Rabies, Bordatella and DA2PPvL vaccines (surrenders within the state of pa)
If you are having financial troubles with the vet bill to get your dog into rescue, speak with one of volunteers about help in that area.

We have a protocol for all surrenders, all need to have a surrender form emailed with proper paperwork, also we do pre-placement evaluations to make sure of proper placement.

We do not permit surrender to be connected to adopter for privacy reasons.

Please remember we are foster based.

These dogs are going into volunteer homes and we have to protect them as well as their animals, as soon as they leave our intake facility!
