 People Who Lie: Marc Sayer - Deaf Dane Rescue  


DEAF DANE RESCUE

The postings below have been sent all over the internet about Marc Sayer. This man has bred the deaf and 
blind rescue dogs in his care and has killed/murdered/suffocated at birth their innocent newborn puppies with his own hands.
Marc Sayer should be punished for his crimes against animals. Read below what he has been doing to these poor innocent
creatures of god. How could anyone smother a newborn innocent puppy with their own hands and prevent it from taking the
breath it needs to live and have a life!!!???  Read on and you will see:



Deaf Dane Rescue - Lies, Deceit, Deception and the Truth.  Marc Sayer
is a FRAUD who is abusing and breeding the deaf and blind “rescue”
dogs in his care.



Deaf Dane Rescue - Lies, Deceit, Deception and the Truth.  Marc Sayer is a FRAUD who is
abusing and breeding the deaf and blind “rescue” dogs in his care. He has killed innocent
puppies by by smothering them to death with his own hands.  He has adopted dangerous
dogs to families with kids and
the children were attacked, some of his dogs have  bitten
people on their faces, and Marc Sayer has committed other crimes against animal
s.


Marc Sayer masquerades as a rescue called "Deaf Dane Rescue". In reality, he takes innocent deaf Danes and Dane puppies from breeders,
shelters and others and many spend their whole lives there with him.  He keeps intact males with unspayed females and often has
"accidental" breedings. But he always knows who the father is, so it is likely not by accident that these dogs are allowed to breed and
then have puppies. Though he professes to rescue deaf and blind Danes, he kills the white puppies because he says that "he cannot be
responsible for them," but it is he who has caused them to be bred.

He recently bred a blind and deaf rescue puppy who was sent to him as a rescue to be spayed and found a good home.  This puppy,
Cassie, had been with him since 16 weeks old, just a baby puppy, but was 18 months old when he chose to breed her, despite the fact
that she was deaf and blind, and he never gave her a chance for someone to adopt her and give her a home with love and attention. 

We are trying to figure out how Cassie benefitted from the nightmare of being in Marc Sayer's so-called "Rescue.".  As per his own quotes
that are included here, she was attacked (Marc doesn't protect the dogs in his "care" from being attacked by other dogs) and fought with
other unsupervised dogs daily, and she had many new and old scars and cuts and bite wounds everywhere to show for it.” She came as
an innocent, deaf, and blind puppy that deserved a whole lot better than Marc Sayer. She became afraid, defensive and aggressive - she
never could even see or hear when she was about to be attacked over and over.  And then she was bred!.  She never even had a chance
at finding a home because she spent her entire life in a little box on his website called "On Hold". . .  For some reason, like the many other
dogs in this box on his website, their lives are "On Hold" too.  Marc Sayer bred her and allowed her to have the puppies and though there
was rescue who was wanting to take these sweet puppies and begged Marc not to kill them, he did it anyway.  He casually smothered them inhumanely to death while he was talking on the phone with the other rescue who was begging and pleading for their innocent lives!  As he
did it and as they screamed for their hope to live, he matter-of-factly  explained to the other rescue that he did this because the newborn
puppies were white and might be deaf and blind. 

Cassie, the unlikely candidate for a "mother dog" being that she was deaf and blind and in a false "rescue", also lost her life because she
became so aggressive.  She bit the transporter several times and the reason for this is likely that she was attacked so many times while
in Marc Sayer's horrible care for nearly her entire lifetime of 18 months that she had scars all over her and lashed out to bite as second
nature. She was ruined by being in his environment of fight or bite to protect herself and never got the forever home that every little
puppy should be promised by a rescue.  She was used and abused by Marc Sayer and died as a result of his misuse of her and the other
dogs in his care. And he has bred other "rescue" dogs that we know about and likely many more that are just his ugly little secrets and
who knows how many other sweet puppies may have lost their innocent lives too!

You will see some of their stories here too and by the way, Cassie was bred to another dog "Bo" who has also been in his "rescue" for
at least a year and is still there....poor thing - WITHOUT BEING ALTERED - How can anyone consider this "rescue"?!  NEITHER FOUND
A HOME, IN FACT, HE ONLY ADOPTED ONE DOG THIS ENTIRE YEAR.  WHAT IS HE DOING WITH THESE DOGS???? HE IS BREEDING
THEM AND HOARDING THEM BECAUSE HE IS CERTAINLY NOT CONCENTRATING ON ADOPTING THEM.  

With his dirty deeds now exposed for everyone to see, Marc Sayer has made a point to immediately wipe Cassie off of his website.  Notice
if you go there, she is completely gone without a trace.  What a disservice to the memory of this sweet innocent puppy who was entrusted
into his care as a 'rescue' for the purpose of having a better life.  She is not even "On Hold" anymore.  She has been erased!!!!!  Don't let
Cassie's life have ended for nothing.  Please keep reading the horrors of what is going on at this so called "rescue" and call or email the local
animal control and let them know what you think about this.  Let them know that it is inhumane to smother innocent newborn puppies - let
them know that only a hardened murderer of a person could do such a thing.  Most people would fight to the end to save the life of an
innocent baby puppy and most people would have at least had the morals to realize that Cassie's and Bo's and all of the lives of all the other
dogs in this rescue are not there at the disposal of this selfish man.  They were sent there to find a home, NOT live their lives and die there
after making him nice puppies!!! 

See what Marc Sayer did to Cassie click here; http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/danegang/vpost?id=1146597.  The woman who
was attacked wrote this report of the bite incident, see it here: http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/danegang/vpost?id=1146599
He has also placed dangerous dogs into homes with little children who were then attacked by these dogs.  See the account of one such
situation here: http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/danegang/vpost?id=1146376   He caused another Dane to die by depriving it
of medical care for more than a month (see the report of this here: http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/danegang/vpost?id=1146397 
and so much more. See what he did to Chyna who lived her whole life there too and was attacked so much her ears were torn by the other dogs:http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/danegang/vpost?id=1146358, read about the other two dogs he bred and had to give to another rescue to clean up his messes: http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/danegang/vpost?id=1146415.  Read the individual
stories and see what this man has done and what a poor excuse for a rescue this is. 

Marc Sayer has been reported to different Animal Controls several times and has currently been reported to the the Lane County Animal
Regulation Authority which is his current Animal Control and each time they are getting close to stopping him like they hopefully will now.
But then he moves and starts all over again in another location.  Which is what he is getting ready to do now too.  PLEASE - FOR THE
SAKE OF CASSIE AND ALL THE OTHER CASSIES HE MAY HAVE ABUSED OVER THE YEARS OR HE IS STILL ABUSING NOW - Send your
letters, your emails and your phone calls to his current Animal Control (shown below) and ask that this poor excuse for a rescue
/breeder/animal abuser be shut down for once and for all!!!!. 

Ask yourself again how poor Cassie benefited - search your soul and you will see there was NO BENEFIT , brought to him as a baby herself
and forced to live in an environment where she was repeatedly attacked to the point that she became aggressive and dangerous, unable to
even see and hear to defend herself.  And she obviously could not defend herself from him when he marked her to breed.  Here is a direct
quote from Marc Sayer about Cassie told to the transporter when he had to pry her jaws of the face of the woman who came to help him
with the puppies because he wanted to get rid of the evidence of his "Breeding": The owner (Marc Sayer) stated to me, “She always bites
and hangs on when she fights with other dogs.  Because she is dog aggressive, I have to physically pry her jaws loose from the other dogs.
That is why she has all the scars on her face. They are from dog bites. See, she has a new one there besides an old one on this side and a
few on the other side.” 
   

So you can see that she was still being bitten and fought with throughout her entire pregnancy.  Her entire lifetime was one big fight all
caused by this man - and then she died as a result of it!  She came as an innocent puppy, she was sweet and loving, this was not the life
any innocent deserves!  They deserve to be loved and protected, not used and abused!

The story doesn't end here.  The remaning non white puppies and Cassie, the dog who just bit this woman twice on the face and once on
the arm, right in front of Marc Sayer, were immediately moved right after the bite to another state. Which is also a violation of the quarantine laws.  If a dog bites, and Cassie bit three times in front of Marc Sayer, she should not have been moved for ten days in each instance, that
is the law in most states.  The fact that Marc Sayer had no rabies certificate for her makes this even more a crime.  He violated the quarantine laws and did not even have shot records for a dog in his care for her entire lifetime!. 

You can read story after story, he took other dogs from Breeders and transported them to other states when they had accidental breedings
too and he was not able to afford to pay for their spay and neuters.  And look at his website, more dogs stay with him for life than are ever adopted to good homes.  Where are all the puppies he bred listed.  Maybe he sells them as something other than rescues.  This year he
managed to only adopt ONE dog and even that poor dog has been in his rescue since a little puppy and is now 2 years old.  For what purpose. 
It could have had a home and a family for two years. 

Reputable rescues adopt puppies as puppies and give the adopters support to help them raise them and have a wonderful home.  They do
not keep them for years of fighting and biting and breeding and ABUSE.  Look at Chyna's story .  Her ears were so tattered from two years
of being ripped by other dogs - for what purpose?

Read about "Ginger" on the very last page of this letter.  Ginger and too many others are still at the Deaf Dane Rescue with Marc Sayer and
she has been there for TWO YEARS - She is also living out her entire life in the "On Hold" box on Marc Sayer's website just as Cassie did -
please help her before it is too late for her like it is now for Cassie.

This loser needs to be shut down and at least there can be some justice for the memory of these poor dogs and puppies who have died at
his hands and as a result of his actions.  And hopefully the others can be saved from his care so that they do not have the same fate.
Email this to as many people as you can and have them write to the Lane County Animal Control and request that Marc Sayer
be investigated NOW and shut down for inhumanely murdering these newborn innocent puppies and causing their mother to
die, for violating the quarantine and for placing dangerous dogs in homes with children who were attacked and who could
have been killed by his poor judgment


This is a dangerous situation that needs to be ended for the safety of the dogs and public .  Please send your letters and emails and direct
your phone calls to his current Animal Control as they are in the best position to stop him now before he is able to run again. 

Please send your letters, emails and direct your hopefully MANY phone calls to :

Mike Wellington
Program Manager
Lane County Animal Regulation Authority
(541)682-2370

Please also send this information to as many other shelters, newspapers and wherever else you
can so that all are aware of what this man has done to abuse these sweet deaf and blind animals
and so that he will not be able to obtain any more dogs to abuse.

Lies, Deceit, Deception

and the truth

Tiergan costs us $2300

Cassie $331.00

Herclues $133.00

Angel $450

Remmington $345

Buddy $220


Knowing these dog's are no longer
with Marc

PRICE-LESS

 

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 30 HE HAS?

  1. A responsible rescue would never allow 30 Danes to run together as a pack, allowing dogs to fight
  2. A responsible rescue does not keep danes in rescue for 2 years!
  3. A responsible rescue spays / neuters! and would never breed a rescue dog

This man is abusing the Danes we strive so hard to rescue. Please do not support this.

Marc Bred a "RESCUE" dog that he had in rescue over a year.

on 5-10-06 he culled 4 puppies while on the phone with ME personally.


He sent us the pups to cover up his dirty little secret. Marc admitted to his own animal control officer that he bred and killed 4 pups at his own hands.

It would seem to me that Marc has lied to all of us. And I for 1 will not die peacefully until he is stopped! It became personal for me but then again I am the only one that herd the puppies screaming!

Everyone on these list at some point said "they were an advocate of Danes or dogs". If your proclaim it....... you should be it........ even if it is uncomfortable.

I will scream the words MARC KILLED PUPPIES WHILE ON THE PHONE WITH ME!

I do Crime Scene Clean up for a living, I have been a foster parent to 28 kids, I have been a CASA Guardian ad Litem for 8 years and the day that Marc held a puppy to the phone and said "HELP ME JEANNIE HELP ME" was the straw that broke my back.

This is not an issue of Deaf Dane Rescue vs Gentle Giants......... These are 2 separate issues.

 

At some point Marc was irresponsible!
He watched the dogs bred
He welped a litter
He killed 4 puppies!

We do not support Deaf Dane Rescue

(These are our opinions and our experiences)


Knowing these dog's are no longer
with Marc

PRICE-LESS

Marc is no angel he has a few acres, no running water, the dogs are in a garage (no heat, no air). He is living in a travel trailer while his home is being built. The dogs are all kept together, even the un-altered! They are forced to work out their own differences in the pack.

He is using Dane Train to run pups from California Breeders to him in Oregon. And then he doesn't have them altered?

Marc recently had an accidental breeding. He smothered the lives of 4 white puppies as they were born, while I was personally on the phone with him. The female was 18 months old and had been in his rescue on his website since she was a very young puppy! When the pups were 1 week old we sent an experienced Dane breeder to Oregon a mere 500 miles each way. Why? because Marc asked us once again for help.

In the end Cassie bit our volunteer in the face and on the arm in front of Marc. Animal Control was called to assist, using 2 poles to remove her. Cassie had to be euthanized the next day as no one was able to even get near her.

Cassie was suffering from Kennel Cough when she arrived. Due to the stress one of the pups has died from phenomia.

We ask on behalf of Cassie, her 2 puppies we are nursing every 2 hours, Tiergan the dog we tried so hard to save. MAKE THIS NONSENSE STOP!  Do not continue to support the websites that bash Gentle Giants.

This is not helping Danes. It is simply ruing the reputation of not only our breed but the word rescue in general. And you are all believing in something that doesn't exist. Marc is a redneck hillbilly, with a few teeth, who doesn't bathe and he breeds his rescue dogs. Who knew? Signed Marc's biggest supported for 5 years. I too was fooled by Marc.

IN ADDITION

You will never live this down at least, in my eyes. No more we, no more hiding behind lawyers, this is truly I, Jeannie Laub will not tolerate your fowl actions. This dog was allowed to be in rescue for over 1 1/2 years with out being spayed, she was allowed to breed and allowed to whelp puppies that Marc then killed.

PICTURES http://www.danegang.org/id159.html

Information concerning dog bites on Tuesday, May 15, approximately 7:30 p.m. in the parking lot of the A&W Drive Inn in Oakridge,
Oregon. There was one witness in the restaurant that came out to check on me. She was a thin blond about 55 years old wearing a boot
cast on her right leg. There were other patrons and workers in the restaurant at the time.

Mark put the dog in the back of my vehicle that had a metal barricade between the front and open back area of a Jeep Cherokee. He put
the puppies in a crate in the back of my vehicle.

While I was petting the dog, it lunged and bit me from the back of my vehicle where it had been placed for transportation to a Great
Dane Rescue. Mark had to pry the dog’s jaws off of my arm. At that time he stated I had blood running down my face. I had been bitten
in less than a second on both my face and right fore arm. At that time I had gone into shock and did not know it. (My doctor informed
me of this.) 

The owner, Mark, stated to the dog, “This is going to make it much harder to place you with a family.”

The owner stated to me, “She always bites and hangs on when she fights with other dogs.  Because she is dog aggressive, I have to
physically pry her jaws loose from the other dogs. That is why she has all the scars on her face. They are from dog bites. See, she has
a new one there besides an old one on this side and a few on the other side.”

He said, “I will be at this number for the next few hours if you need to reach me.” I stated that would put me about 100 miles away.
He said, “Well, you might need to call me and if you do, I will be at this number.”

The owner had no concern with leaving this dog with me. The owner had no concern with my well-being. This owner released this dog
to me with no shot records or paperwork. The owner never contacted me to check on my well being after the attack. The owner had my cell phone number.

The owner was dirty, stunk, had bad breath and was driving a pickup in disrepair. The dog was dirty, stunk and was covered with scars. The dog was quite visibly blind except for limited sight in its right eye. The dog was completely deaf. I believe the dog lived by its sense of smell and when it could no longer smell its odiferous owner it was terrified and became vicious in an attempt to protect its puppies. This irresponsible owner said the dog was 18 months old. There is no excuse for her not being spayed and especially for her being bred and whelped.  This owner is not responsible and should not be allowed to portray himself as a Rescue organization when he allows breeding (apparently he has a breeding male) instead of spay/neuter and harbors a vicious dog that should have been put down for the safety of other dogs and humans and itself.

While traveling, the dog lunged at me numerous times. I offered food and water that resulted in vicious lunges at me. I wrapped a blanket
behind my head to protect myself from her lunges at the barricade. Animal control and my husband insisted I stay in the vehicle as they
removed the dog from my vehicle by the use of 2 choke poles. The dog almost broke the window out of my vehicle by lunging at people
outside the vehicle. Animal control insisted Jeannie at GDR was in the vehicle during this removal, also.    

My doctor has examined me. I do not have a doctors report. I have been given a tetanus shot and oral antibiotics for the dog bites. I am
anxiously waiting the results of the rabies test on the dog.

Marc took Cassie in as a young puppy. Now she's 18 months, bred by "BO" a Harlequin male currently at
Marc's "rescue"

Marc allowed 2 Danes to breed

Marc allowed a blind / deaf dog with kennel couch to whelp pups

Marc culled 4 puppies while on the phone with us

(Just because they were white)

 

Marc asked us to help him

We drove 500 miles each way

We had a volunteer bit in the face and arm

 

We had to have the dog put to sleep to be tested for Rabies

(Marc won't provide a Rabies certificate)

We had to have her put to sleep because she was so vicious as a result

of not being properly socialized while in Marc's care and also because

she was in so many fights and her many wounds and scars show that she

was attacked often in his rescue, it was second nature for her to bite and

that made her dangerous.

She would not have had to be put down had he not so ruined her by keeping her with him in that
terrible environement of fighting and biting for her entire lifetime.

Her face showed the many scars.

Sadly she was never rewarded with a home of her own, because of him!

We have already lost 1 puppy and the other one is being hospitalized.

We have spent enough money covering up Marc's dirty secrets!

The dogs were allowed to breed while in an irresponsible "Oregon Rescue". They were sent to us sick and in trouble. We are spending
many sleepless nights and countless dollars to clean up the mess. Rescue groups should never breed dogs! PEROID! Both Puppies
are sick, they are on I.V fluids and antibiotics. The puppies are ill because the mother had a compromised immune system, when the
pups were born they all had kennel cough. One puppy has died and now the other 2 are so sick. We are spending $40 every 3 days
for formula.

 

PLEASE consider sponsoring this sad situation.

Current Weights Ebby 1 pounds, Gunner 1.5 pounds

Update: The puppies are recovering! They are on low doses of antibiotics now! They will get their 2nd set of shots few weeks!

Angel & Remmington came to us from Marc also!

Why? Because Angel a beautiful Harl cropped female was given to Marc by a breeder. Why, because she didn't pass her OFA and needed a new home. You should know that Dane Train arranged this transport.

In the end Marc allowed Angel to breed and could not afford to have her spayed. We went running once again, took both dogs, they were altered immediatly to stop the process Marc had started.

The dog's were adopted by us, to loving homes.

As you can finally see the truth, Gentle Giants rescued Tiergan and gave him wonderful care. It has all been a lie fabricated by Marc Sayer, the same person who just bred a blind and deaf dog that was in his rescue since a little puppy and he killed four of her puppies with his own hands and he is also responsible for Tiergan's death.

"Luke"/"Tiergan" was in a shelter in Northern California . Just about

every Great Dane Rescue group in Northern California was called by this

shelter and not one even responded to take him. Finally, the shelter

called Gentle Giants in Southern California. The shelter described his

condition at the time he was turned in as having a leg that had limited

functionality though he did use it and it did help him get around.

Gentle Giants was the only group who would take him out of the shelter.

Gentle Giants transports Great Danes from Northern California at a high

cost regularly because no other Northern CA rescues will take them, just

like no other rescue was willing to take "Luke"/"Tiergan" out of the

shelter. Because "Luke" was very ill with kennel cough and near

pneumonia at the time, he was waived for surgery, per California law, by

the veterinarian at the shelter. Gentle Giants sent a driver to get

"Luke," and he was brought back to Gentle Giants where he was

immediately examined by several vets, heartworm tested, etc. One of

their expert vets was voted "BEST Veterinarian in the Inland Empire for

2004." "Luke" then spent a month at Gentle Giants being cared for and

treated while he recovered. Further exams were done and "Luke"/"Tiergan"

spent a week to ten days at the hospital for an orthopedic evaluation

regarding his leg. It was determined that sometimes the foot could find

the ground, sometimes it couldn't, but it was altogether a better

prognosis for "Luke" to keep his leg. After "Luke" completely recovered,

he was neutered and reexamined, and it was the final decision of the

vets involved that "Luke"/"Tiergan" would be better off keeping his leg

than having it removed. He was healthy and happy, and was given a little

shoe to protect his toes for those times the nerves could not perceive

the ground and they dragged ever so slightly. He was so capable with his

leg that he was able to use it to stand up on both legs and put his paws

on people's shoulders. He jumped around and played like a puppy. He was

adopted from Gentle Giants and was in perfect health and looking and

feeling happy and healthy. Gentle Giants is the only rescue that came

through to save him, and they were prepared to pay whatever was

necessary to help him. And they did have significant expenses! When they

saw this happy puppy with his adoptive family, nothing else matters!

 

Here is an email from Luke/Tiergan's adopters saying how he is strong

and doing great when they first adopted him from Gentle Giants:

 

Hi Tracy!

 

Well, Day One and "Luke" is doing wonderful!

 

We are thinking of renaming him "Donovan" which means 'dark warrior' or

"Tiergan" which means 'strong' (because he IS strong!). You can tell

he's unsure of his surroundings, at the moment, but he's settling in

quickly.

 

I emailed the general adoptions addy, but figured you might give a

quicker response to this address. What was "Snuffy" the Saint's,

adoption fee? Just curious- my husband really enjoyed playing with him.

 

Thank you so much for all of your time last night- I have never seen

such a beautiful group of furkids in one area!

 

We had a ton of fun playing with the dogs and meeting you and Burt.

 

Hope to get pics to you soon of Luke settling in here in Vegas.

 

Trish & Jeremy

 

Sadly, the story, however did not have a happy ending: Luke/Tiergan was

healthy and beautiful at the time of adoption and it is clear from their

own emails written above that the family adopting him was very happy

too. He was a confident and outgoing dog who loved everyone and who was

never handicapped in his heart and got around wonderfully! While his leg

did not have full function, he used it and was fast and agile. And the

way he used his leg at the time was in a manner that it rarely ever was

in a position to hinder him and in fact only made him stronger. He was

so capable with his leg that he was able to use it to stand and put his

paws on people's shoulders and jumped around and played like a puppy. He

was adopted April 11th from Gentle Giants and was in perfect health and

looking and feeling happy and healthy. Unfortunately the family who

adopted him seems to have committed true abuse and neglect to let a

sweet healthy young dog fall into such disrepair and worse yet, to then

try to blame it on the rescue that they got him from is ludicrous. The

vet who examined and x-rayed and neutered him for Gentle Giants was

voted one of the top vets that year. The family called and talked to

Gentle Giants for weeks after the adoption saying how happy they were

and what a wonderful dog he was. As can be seen from the emails above,

they thought the Gentle Giants dogs were so beautiful and healthy and

happy and they were so happy with Luke/Tiergan that just the day after

adopting him , they were already considering driving back from Las Vegas

to adopt another Gentle Giants dog! They sent several more emails about

adopting this Saint Bernard that they met there as a friend for

Luke/Tiergan and Gentle Giants had begun discussions about that which

continued until the Saint Bernard was adopted along with another Great

Dane to a family who drove to Gentle Giants from Arizona and adopted two

dogs from them and both are doing great there, too. Not once were any

problems brought up ever about Luke /Tiergan. Several months later,

after getting an infection while in his Adopters' home and not being

treated for a whole month because of Marc Sayer, Tiergan lost his leg

and ultimately his life. Tiergan got infected at the Adopters' home and

the Adopters could not afford to care for him. Instead of calling GG for

help, they called Marc Sayer. Marc convinced the Adopters NOT to return

Tiergan to GG, even though GG would have taken him back and cared for

him. Marc left him infected for a month while he plotted against GG and

"arranged a transport." He put Tiergan's life on hold for his own

selfish, self-serving purposes. Tiergan became septic in that month with

no care and that is why he had to lose his leg . . .

 

ALL BECAUSE OF MARC SAYER AND HIS ADOPTERS GIVING HIM

NO CARE FOR A MONTH, NOT BECAUSE OF GG!

 

This is why Rescues require that their dogs be returned to the rescue if

the adopters can't keep them. We at Idaho Great Dane Rescue apologize to

Gentle Giants for not givng them the chance to save the dog that they

cared for so well.

 

Tracy Ward begged repeatedly at the time to return Tiergan to them and

that they would fly him back to their vets at their own expense, and

that they would have paid for all of his medical needs and saved him

from whatever those people had done to him.

 

We were unable to return Tiergan due to his urgent need for medical care.

 

In addition we believed all the lies that Marc Sayer had told about

Gentle Giants and were not sure what to believe. Well, it has all been

verified now. Tiergan really was cared for and vet checked by GG, and we

have his medical records to prove it. This whole story was little more

than a lie with the victim being this sweet loving dog Tiergan and all

of us who believed in Marc. Though we all screen as well as we can, it

is sad when Adopters violate the contract and in this case with the aid

of a supposed "rescue," this poor dog paid with his life and all of us

followed Marc like sheep against a fellow rescuer who was only trying to

save the life of their dog.

 

Because Tiergan was prevented from getting any care for that critical month or more by Marc Sayer, poor Tiergan never had a chance! Because of Marc Sayer, Tiergan arrived here already too late to be saved! His death was caused by the same man who killed those four innocent
puppies that he bred with his own hands!

This is what Marc posted about Tug. Tug was adopted to Julie a woman who had previously
adopted a Dane from us. As you will see after Tug attacked her child she was crusified on line
for it.

  • Comments
Tug is a beautiful fawn neutered male. He is AKC registered, has had his dew claws removed and his ears
cropped. He has lived with the same family all his life. He is very timid and does not deal well with strangers
at this time. We will be working with him and evaluating him over the next few weeks. He is UTD on all his
shots and is microchipped. Despite his timidity, he has adapted well to being moved into a home full of Danes
and he has not snapped at or gotten aggressive with either me or my wife. In fact he is very sweet and loving
when he can screw up the courage to let us pet him.

Well, Tug's been with us for a few days now. He is really starting to come out of his shell. He such a sweet,
affectionate dog. He is still not good with strangers, and probably never will be all that good with them. But
he is going to make someone a wonderful pet. He is so well trained, and so obedient. And he just wants
someone to love him and be there for him. He is fine with all the dogs here, including all the males. He is a
bit inept socially with the other dogs. He frequently tries to get them to play but doesn't quite know how to
go about it. He tends to come on a bit strong and this discourages the others from playing, but he is slowly
learning. The only other dog in his life before this was an older Dachshund, so a house full of Danes is
something totally new for him. He is a good protector and excellent watchdog, but he is not going to be
good outdoors. Like most Danes, he is a housepuppy. Overall, despite his timidity, he is a great dog. And
once he decides you are okay and starts to bond with you, he is going to be a super companion. He is not
an aggressive or dangerous dog in any way, however he will need an owner who understands he is not the
sort of dog you just let strangers come up to, or let the local neighbor kids play with unsupervised. More
for his emotional well being than for the safety of the strangers or kids, however he will scare the pants
off some people. Tug needs an owner with lots of Dane experience and some familiarity with "aggressive"
dogs. Tug is definitely not a set and forget kind of dog, as so many Danes are. OTOH with his family he is
the typical Dane, devoted, loving and very affectionate. He likes to stay near you, preferring to be in the
same room with you, but he isn't your typical velcro dog. He doesn't need constant petting, he just wants
to keep you in sight. He will happily lay on "his" bed at the other side of the room and not bother you. But
if you leave the room, he will be right there with you.

He has beautiful light colored eyes, almost a fawn color. I know this is not the preferred color, but they are
truly striking. He is a very handsome dog.

would ever knowingly adopt a dangerous dog to anyone, especially a family with a young child.

WHY are you adopting out a dog that you YOURSELF say is a DANGEROUS DOG?...

to begin with. WHY are you adopting out a dog that you YOURSELF say is a DANGEROUS DOG?
Tug has aggression issues with strangers and must be treated as a dangerous dog. This SCARES me

WHY are you adopting out a dog that you YOURSELF say is a DANGEROUS DOG?  Here are more 

responses.
All of them VERY UPSET with Marc Sayer for breaking the code of rescue and adopting out a

dangerous dog that could not be corrected of attacking people.  And to make matters worse, a young boy's

life was risked by this adoption
. Marc Sayer then blamed the Adopter for what had been done and

labeled her as a Do Not Adopt.  Meaning that he told every Rescue that they should NOT adopt a dog to her as

a result of his bad judgement for what he had done in adopting out a dog that was a dangerous dog with

aggressions issues. He based this on the fact that the poor woman was afraid of the dangerous dog

after it attacked her son three times
and she did not want to drive six or more hours back to Marc Sayer

in the car with him.  When Marc Sayer got there to pick up the dog, it was twitching and aggressive to Marc's

wife and to all the other people who were there at the time as well. It had been taken to a and they deemed

it a very dangerous dog.  Here are the additional responses:

Marc
Ya know that is all well and good, right up until the dog bites, attacks or kills another dog or person
- Hmmmm,
wonder how well that would fly in court when you are being sued for knowingly placing
a 'dangerous dog' You would be held 100% liable.
In fact, in most states it is illegal to place a known
dangerous dog - it is in my state. Hope you take heed, you will lose everything you own and then
some.
And exactly how good will you feel, when some child in mammed, disfigured or God forbid
killed?
Is that life worth it?

dogs, is lost on you.
We work very hard to  place Danes in homes and truly placing a dangerous dane

is not a good
thing to do-period.  A Dane can kill-period.  My 210 pound Dane picked  up and threw my

186 pound Dane-with authority-I can not EVEN imagine  what a Dane could do to a 12 year old child

The point of my DNA post however was the behavior of the woman *after* she decided the placement was not

going to work. misrepresented her abilities.
That all doesn't matter, IMO.  As described, the dog should have never been adopted in the first place.
That makes all the rest a moot point to me. If I adopted a dog that lunged at one of my kids, had I any, 

I too,
would be taking him to the shelter. Why risk a serious injury or death?

Below Marc blames the woman for what happened but as you can see from the responses,
the other rescues think he is very wrong in his actions:     
the problems were her own fault, and that sending him to the pound would be very traumatic for him. 

Again,
adopting out an aggressive dog as he was described, would have been the traumatic part for

him
.  Once they have the behavior first shown, it is hard to extinguish it forever. Any new move or

situation will bring it out.
sharing too much info with anyone distracted them from the real issue. I just do

not want the real issue to get lost in a cloud of discussion about what is in fact a side issue. I don't think

any
of the issues discussed were "side issues." All of what was said and done *does* affect all of us
as rescue organizations. Do you have an insurance policy?  Would they have agreed with the 

adoption? I highly doubt it.
And believe me, you would have been dropped in an instant had the

dog inflicted any injury.
  I've put together an insurance panel/discussion session for our annual Rescue

Conference here in MI. I was hard put to find the 3 insurance companies I did... We need to be responsible or

we are not going to have the coverage we need to continue working in this area. I do NOT want someone

else living in my house. Think about this case very carefully, Marc.  Sandy

Marc, Okay I understand the DNA and I understand Sara's & Elisa's points about the aggression of this dog or
ANY dog that shows the aggression you have described. I can also understand your feelings for this Dane.
Personally I have had Danes like him in rescue and I do not place them up for adoption. Most people
can not handle a dog I deem as easy so there is no way I will place a dog I deem as aggressive with
this many issues. So my point being is this dog should just live his life with you and your wife. Lets
face it few of our adopters can handle much more then a stuffed animal so a dog with real issues
should not be placed up for adoption. I also will agree that there are too many nice Danes dying
everyday in shelters because of lack of space in rescues and homes in general.

A woman in Arlington, WA adopted a dog from us the weekend of 8/28. The dog has aggression issues and she
knew all about them from day one. Less than 36 hours after she picked up the dog, she was emailing me saying
the placement wasn't going to work out because he had lunged at her 12 year old son several times and he
was afraid of him
. Okay, not a problem so far, although she mishandled the situation and made things
worse, despite supposedly having experience with dogs like this
. So I told her, no problem, just bring him
back here to us as agreed (and stipulated in the contract). Now we have the problem. She refuses to return the
dog to us. At first she says she'll drive him down to Portland, then she says we have to come get him at the
Everett shelter. I do not know exactly what happened in the hours between her picking him up and her calling
AC, but it's clear that somehow Tug had been agitated, made to feel extremely fearful, and was
generalizing his aggression. And she was using that as a rationale for her refusal to return him.
She
told me at first she was going to take him to the Everett shelter. But then it got even worse. She had an AC
officer come out and get him like some rabid animal. I believe in part she wanted to be sure she had
an AC officer who could swear to how aggressive the dog was,
and that
she set this up as a part of
her planned defense for when we sue her.
From the report I got from the AC officer, who was clearly
very scared of Tug, it sounds as though they may even have intentionally antagonized Tug to make
him appear even more aggressive to the officer.

<> In point of fact his aggression issues were clearly outlined right in the contract:

"17. The adopting family has been advised and understands that Tug has aggression issues with
strangers and must be treated as a dangerous dog. While he is generally fine with his family, he
can be unpredictable, especially with strangers, and may attack without warning. He must always
be confined or on leash, and closely supervised, especially if he is around strangers. He must always
be closely monitored and supervised, or confined in a secure crate or kennel.  _____ initial here."


This woman looks and sounds good, though she has some financial problems. She makes all the
right noises and says all the right things.
But when it gets right down to it, apparently she could care
less about the dogs. She refused to give the dog the care she had promised she would and then tried hard
to blame it all on me and the dog. Yes the dog did have issues, and yes he can be very scary. But she
knew all this up front. It should not have been unexpected.  The problem is he was scared to death by the
time she contacted AC, and the handling he got from her and her family as well as from the AC officer, was
guaranteed to absolutely send him ballistic.  I now believe that dogs entrusted to her care are at risk,
and are not safe. 

I strongly recommend she be a DNA and I urge all rescues to be very wary of having anything to
do with her.


If you want the DNA's info please contact me privately.

When my wife got up there Tug was scared to death. He was hunkered in the back of a secluded kennel
shaking and twitching, and would not let anyone near him

We sent Marc a girl named Chyna a sweet little pup because
she was deaf. It appears to us that she was ABUSED at Marc's
for almost 2 years!

If you have Chyna please contact us and let us know she is ok!

Lambchop (originally Chyna) just came to us the day after Christmas, from Idaho Great Dane Rescue. She is under evaluation now and we will update this page as things develop. We can tell you right now that Lambchop is crate trained and amazingly well potty trained for her age. When in her crate she cries to be let out when she needs to go potty. Of course she also cries at other times too, so sometimes we do have false starts. And if you don't get to her fairly quickly, she may not be able to hold it, but she is doing very very well overall. She is not so good if left to wander the house, so we keep her confined to a single room, or the crate when we can not watch her closely. She is very affectionate and playful, basically a typical Dane pup. However IGDR reported she was not so people oriented with them. Here she has been a doll. I think the big difference has been the environment. We have 4 deaf pups right now and she is the largest so she is feeling pretty safe and pleased with herself here. She seems pretty secure and confident, but as with most dogs going through the turmoil of a change in placement, she does not like to be left alone and will raise a ruckus.

Lambchop is a big girl for her age. Not huge as danes go, but much bigger than most of the pups we see. We have two pups about 6 months old right now and she is significantly bigger than both of them. She has a lot of color for a deaf dog, especially around her head and ears. But she is deaf. She has two different color eyes, her left eye is blue, as many double merles' are, but her right eye is green, which is unusual. It is really a modified brown/gold, but it looks green at first. Her eyes are especially striking because of the dark "mascara" all around each eye.

Why did we change her name to Lambchop?
- Well Chyna just didn't seem to fit (aside
from the size thing, she was in no way reminiscent of the pro wrestler Chyna) and somehow she reminded my wife and I of Shari Lewis' hand puppet Lambchop. And her personality is much more a Lambchop type too.

Update 2/12/05 - Lambchop has really grown up to be a very nice dog. She is affectionate and trouble free. She gets along with all the other dogs and is as reliable on her potty training as any dog we've ever had.
Her ears are kind of ratty as they have been torn repeatedly. They seem to be rather fragile. They've been torn by other dogs and even just by her shaking her head near something and hitting her ears. She loves to curl up in a lap or on the couch next to you. She is really a very sweet wonderful girl. Someone will be very lucky to get her.

 




GINGER is still at the Deaf Dane rescue with Marc Sayer and has been there for TWO YEARS - please help her before it is too late like it is now for Cassie

Ginger was 11 months old and was given up because her owner moved and could not
take her.  TWO YEARS LATER, Marc Sayer still has her.  She was sweet and housebroken when she came .  Why has she
NOT been adopted in TWO YEARS!!!!  She is living her life in the "Oh Hold" box on Marc Sayer’s website.  Since she
arrived adoptable, being housetrained, sweet and she came there spayed.  Why was she not spayed and adopted. 
Why would she have to be "On Hold" for two years??? 

Cassie also lived her whole life in this "On Hold" box on Marc Sayer’s website, for 18 months – her entire life SADLY!!...
while she was ripped apart daily by the other dogs at Marc's "rescue," bred by Marc, had her puppies killed by Marc and
then was moved to Idaho to help cover up Marc's dirty little secrets after biting our volunteer on the face twice and the
arm right in front of Marc because she had been ruined by the abusive situation she was kept in by Marc.  We hope and
pray that Ginger does not have the same fate: That she will never have a chance at a real home of her own and that her
life will forever be "On Hold.
"  Thankfully since she is spayed, she at least will not be bred too, though we have to hope
that she can get out of there or else she may have no chance at being loved and having a real life and a family of her
own like poor sweet Cassie!

Ginger was turned in to a shelter by her owners because they had to move to an apartment and could not take her with. She is a female, 11 months old, Great Dane who is housebroken. She is a sweet girl. She hasn't been around cats, kids or other dogs. Click here to fill out an application to adopt Ginger or any of the DDRI dogs.


The posting above has been sent all over the internet about Marc Sayer.  As stated, Marc Sayer has bred the deaf and blind 
rescue dogs in his care and has killed/murdered/suffocated at birth their innocent newborn puppies with his own hands. 
And he did this while on the phone with a another rescuer and joked about it while the other rescuer was crying to try to
save their newborn lives. See the post again where just before smothering the puppy to death, "Marc held a puppy to the
phone and said "HELP ME JEANNIE HELP ME" :http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post/danegang/vpost?id=1146606.
These puppies could have been safe and could have had wonderful lives with this other rescue he was talking with at the
time he killed them, but NO, he made sure that they were prevented from even taking a breath and he killed them while
the other rescue was begging to save them!  These posts about Marc Sayer not only show what he has done but asks
the important question of "How did this innocent dog "Cassie", the deaf and blind mother of these puppies that he killed,
benefit from being in his "rescue"?  She came as a young and innocent puppy herself to him and was sent for the purpose
of her finding a loving home, but instead, she spent her whole life there, was bred and then he killed her puppies brutally
and barbarically AND NOT TO MENTION "INHUMANELY" with his own hands.  
She came as a happy innocent puppy herself
and after spending her whole life there and being abused and used by him, being beaten up by other dogs just about
every day, being bred by Marc Sayer, having her puppies killed by Marc Sayer and then she lost her life too.  We again ask
the important question, how did Cassie benefit?  She never found a home of her own and never was loved.  We would love
to see this question answered, how did Cassie benefit from being in the abusive care of Marc Sayer and with this answer,
comes the bigger question of shouldn't his lousy poor excuse for a "rescue" be shut down so that no others will have to
suffer and be used and abused as poor Cassie and the many others in his care have been used and abused by this evil man,
Marc Sayer.


*Note - Marc Sayer is trying to use in his defense that breeding "Cassie" (who we still have not gotten the answer of how
she benefited from being in his care - since clearly we can all see that there was NO benefit!) but
Marc Sayer is now saying
that breeding Cassie was an "accidental breeding". For the record, 'Rescues' are NOT allowed to have accidental breedings. 
Most laws governing rescues require that non neutered dogs are separated from the other dogs until being neutered.  But,
no matter how it is examined, Marc Sayer is still LYING BIG TIME.

So, we now ask the additional questions to further expose the lies:  Tell us, Marc Sayer, when did the breeding become an accident?  Was it an accident at the time Marc Sayer got this sweet little puppy named Cassie at 4 months old and never
spayed her for a year and a half?  Or, did it become an accident when Marc Sayer had Bo, another rescue dog in his sorry
excuse for a rescue, and did NOT neuter Bo for more than a year?  Or, was it an accident when Marc Sayer watched the
two dogs breed and told another rescue that it had happened?  If Marc Sayer really was not intentionally breeding, why
did he not have Cassie spayed after he watched Bo breed with her?  Was it the 'accident' then, that Marc Sayer did not
have either one of them spayed and neutered?  As you can see, it was NO ACCIDENT!  IT WAS A VERY INTENTIONAL
BREEDING! 


And it was certainly no accident that no matter what the other rescue said and how they pleaded with him, it was no
accident that Marc Sayer would NOT spare the lives of Cassie's newborn white puppies, even though there was another
rescue that would take them and wanted them and was assuring that these sweet newborn puppies would be safe for life,
Marc Sayer REFUSED to let them live.  Marc Sayer murdered these sweet innocent newborn puppies by suffocating the life
out of them with his own murderous two hands at the time they were born. 
He admitted this to his Animal Control and
says "in his defense" that he thought they would be blind.  SO WHAT!!!!  First of all, it is also a lie!!! - all puppies are born
with their eyes closed and there is no way to tell at birth if a puppy will be blind of deaf or not!  And most white puppies
are NOT blind, some are deaf  - and they are just as sweet as any other puppies - and blind dogs can have happy lives too
as you can see on many websites.  But you cannot tell at birth whether they are deaf or blind or can see and hear.  All
puppies at birth have an equal chance at that.  This murderer killed them without giving them any chance.  Because it was
an INTENTIONAL breeding and Marc Sayer was "In control" like most lousy breeders and he was "Culling" the puppies. 
When he talked to the other rescuer on the phone he told her he was "culling puppies on his 50th birthday"  Sadly the
sweet babies never made it to their two day birthday thanks to him.  And the mother of the puppies is dead.  She should
have been spayed when he got her as a puppy and found a great home.  This man is a control freak who will not let any
puppy go home until after spending two years in his rotten fight and bite atmosphere poor excuse for a "rescue".  The
poor mom 'Cassie " was covered with wounds and scratches. She was fought with and beaten every day of her sad
existence there and then Marc Sayer bred her and then she died.  This sorry excuse for a rescue should be shut down
to save the dogs from having to spend an average two years in Marc Sayer's "care" when they could instead be in homes
as puppies and grow up with families.  Marc Sayer has non neutered dogs at all times interacting and fighting and breeding
and biting. 

We are still trying to see how Cassie benefited and we have already proven she did NOT and have also proven that, even if
it were acceptable, which it is NOT, this was NO accidental breeding.  This was done intentionally and the only thing that
went wrong for the puppy killer breeder Marc Sayer is that he was caught in the act! 
Now we all just have to sit back and
figure out what kind of punishment would be suitable for the crimes Marc Sayer has committed.  Hopefully the readers here
will contact Marc Sayers's animal control listed above and demand punishment for Marc Sayer's crimes against Cassie and
her puppies and for Marc Sayer's crimes against the concept of rescue, which has never been breeding and killing, neither
by accident nor by intention!


Here is one suggested comment posted to an internet forum after Marc Sayer's breeding and killing of his rescue dogs had
been exposed:

No rescue can valalidate keeping un-altered dogs for any reason.  If it isn't affordable ask for donations or go to a vet willing to donate
time and services-they do exist.  Don't take on more than you can help or you have become the exact enemy you are trying to protect
animals from!!!  Aren't there state or local laws that govern a facility housing that many animals??? In that kind of environment??  I
know in FLorida, dogs are supposed to be registered with city animal control and rabies shots (and spay/neuter ) are mandatory if pets
are found loose.  Maybe Marc's fence should get cut and these dogs dissappear into the night....aka good homes...  If he can get away
with illegal acts, why can't those concerned?? What's he gonna do??  Get off the keyboard and get out your wire cutters!!!!   I would
in a heartbeat.  C'mon, we all know our judicial system is a joke, so if you're that driven- go get the dogs!!!  If I was there I would lead
the 'rescue' myself.  We threw tea in the sea, ignoring unknown repercussion possibilities,  but we can't nab some dogs????  What is
your plan exactly???? just keep posting bad press about him??? Sorry if I offend you , but I couldn't rest with this info on my mind. 
PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I will travel if need be.....
