I'm sorry to hear that. Read the contract real close you might find a loop hole. Tell her he/she is a service dog and you have to have it because you cant hear the phone ring or something. It never hurts to try! good luck

have you found a home for him yet? there may be some sort of "great dane rescue" organization that may be able to help you out... that's sad to hear...especially since you've had him that long...best of luck in your search...

I'd be happy to adopt if I had my own place. But..that won't happen for another couple years. Sorry man. How BIG is the dog? Small for a dane can be pretty big still..

Have you found a home for the pup yet. If you haven't I know someone that is looking for a dog.

Here is a link to the Great Dane Club of Des Moines.

I'm with J&Bsuv though read the contract. If you have a signed contract that says you can have the dog and you fall within the parameters of the contract then tell the manager to pound sand (or whatever saying is popular for "Get Lost" in Iowa)

Easier then qualifying your dog as a "Service Dog" you might consider trying to qualify him as a "Therapy Dog"

http://www.tdi-dog.org/

They might cut you some slack then.

Good Luck with whatever route you have/want to go.

No problem that he's not a pup. As long as he is house broken I don't think ther is a problem.

IS is possible to get what size he is. I know he is a great Dane, but I'm want to know is he a large Great dane or a smaller great dane. Heigth and weight. I just need to know.
