Celebrating 10 Years of Rescue: Support White Kisses this #GivingTuesday
Dear White Kisses Family,
This year marks a monumental milestone for White Kisses Great Dane Rescue—10 years of saving and transforming lives. Since our founding, we have proudly rescued over 850 Great Danes, giving them the love, care, and second chances they deserve.
As we celebrate this incredible journey, we face one of our most challenging years yet. The number of Great Danes needing rescue continues to grow, and today, we are caring for more than 35 gentle giants, more than ever before. Rising intakes and a significant decrease in adoptions over the past two years have made our resources thinner than ever. Each Dane in our care receives nutritious meals to regain strength and health. Essential veterinary treatments, from vaccinations to life-saving surgeries, and behavioral training to help them heal from trauma and prepare for forever homes. But none of this is possible without your help.
As we look to 2025, we envision creating a new loft barn—a covered space to house every Great Dane in our care while they wait for their happily-ever-afters. This project is critical to ensuring we can continue to provide the safe, comfortable environment these majestic dogs deserve. This #GivingTuesday, we ask for your support to continue this mission. Your donation will help us feed and care for the 35+ Danes currently in our rescue. Provide medical care and training for incoming rescues. Build a future with a space designed for their needs.
Your generosity has been the foundation of our success over the last decade!
Please join us in making this #GivingTuesday a celebration of compassion and a commitment to the Danes who need us now more than ever. Donate today and be their hero: www.whitekissesgreatdanerescue.com/donate
Thank you for being an integral part of the White Kisses family. Together, we can make 2025 a year of hope and new beginnings for so many Great Danes.
With gratitude,
Dusty Meil
P.S. Every gift matters. Your kindness helps us ensure every Dane gets the care and love they deserve. Thank you for standing with us!
Our Mission
White Kisses Great Dane Rescue is committed to rescuing, rehabbing, and rehoming Great Danes in Texas and surrounding states. While we do rescue all types of full-blooded Great Danes as well as Mastiffs and Dane/Mastiff mixes, our passion and #1 priority is saving special needs Double Merle Great Danes, including deaf, blind, and other health issues. We promote Double Merle awareness, responsible pet ownership, animal identification (micro-chipping/ID tags), and the importance of spaying/neutering.
As of November 22, 2014, we are a non-profit 501(c)3 Great Dane rescue operating solely on donations and the work of volunteers and fosters. Every donation helps us provide veterinary care, training, housing, food, and all other needs of the Great Danes in our care. We strive to place each Great Dane in the home that best fits the dog and family. Placements are not taken lightly.

Dear White Kisses Friends and Supporters
It’s important to understand the reality we're facing with the animal crisis right now. Here’s what’s happening:
- Our foster networks and partner rescues are overwhelmed. We're doing everything we can, but we're at capacity. Rescues and shelters are full, and finding new foster homes is becoming increasingly difficult.
- Entire litters are being surrendered, and even purebred puppies are struggling to find homes.
- Pregnant dogs, puppies, and many wonderful dogs are at risk of not finding the homes they deserve.
- The dream of finding a "forever home" is becoming more challenging as the number of available spaces is dwindling.
- Adoptions are at an all-time low, and we desperately need more people to open their homes to foster or adopt.
- Every day, more dogs are left without a place to go. It’s more critical than ever to help. Please keep your pets and take good care of them.
Spay or neuter your pets, train them, and give them the love and care they need. If you must leave your dog at home while you work, that’s okay—it's still a much better option than the alternative they face.
Remember, no one can love and care for your dog like you can!
Foster families are the backbone of our rescue. If you're interested in becoming a foster, please click here! Fostering is vital to our mission, helping us rescue more Gentle Giants!

What is a Double Merle?
Double Merles are 100% preventable!
White Great Danes result from bad breeding practices, most commonly known as spot x spot breeding. This could be harl x merle, harl x harl, merle x merle, any quin x quin, or any quin x merle breeding. When we say quin x quin, we speak of harlequins, merlequins, brindlequins, fawnequins, etc.
No White Great Dane should ever be bred! With any spot x spot breeding, there's always a 25% chance of Double Merles. Learn more about Double Merles here!
