About Forever Friends Great Dane Rescue
LEARN ABOUT THEIR RESCUE
Forever Friends Great Dane Rescue was founded by a small group of people dedicated to the Great Dane breed. Our goal is to help neglected, abandoned, and abused Great Danes find their forever homes while educating the public about the breed and responsible pet ownership. They believe that every animal deserves a forever family to love them unconditionally for the rest of their lives.
Currently, they accept surrenders from families and shelters and adopt to forever homes in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Wisconsin. With the help of our supporters, we hope to eventually grow their group, spread our message, and rescue Great Danes from other areas. They accept Great Danes of all ages and from all types of situations. They are not a shelter; their dogs live in foster homes as part of a family until their medical and emotional needs have been met and they are ready for their forever homes.
About the Film: THE FRIEND
Rated: R | Language: English
Based on the bestselling novel, writer and teacher Iris (Watts) finds her comfortable, solitary New York life thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor (Murray) bequeaths her his beloved 150 lb. Great Dane.
The regal yet intractable beast, named Apollo, immediately creates practical problems for Iris, from furniture destruction to eviction notices, as well as more existential ones. Yet as Iris finds herself unexpectedly bonding with Apollo, she begins to come to terms with her past, and her own creative inner life in this story of healing, love, and friendship.
