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  animals.


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 :

Program Manager

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.

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.                                                                                                                                            Jeannie Laub www.danegang.org 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.  Jeannie Laub Hannibal's mom just a white Dane who died in Feb, 2006 *Marc can not / has not provided us a Rabies Certificate as he can't produce it?

25/05/06 at 01:48 PM   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. CS

25/05/06 at 01:47 PM   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!   __________________________________________________ Marc Sayer wrote:  Gender- female ·  Age - ·  DOB - 11/20/04 ·  Height  at the shoulder - unk ·  Weight - ·  Spayed/Neutered - not yet ·  Taken in on  - 4/24/05 ·  Available as of - 8/24/05 ·  Housebroken - working on it ·  Obedience trained - not yet ·  Good with other dogs - yes with cats - Yes with kids - unk with the elderly - unk ·  Temperament - Cassie is a very happy little girl at this point, the typical puppy without a care in the world. She is well behaved and very affectionate. But she is also very vocal and demanding, as most pups this age are. Cassie, short for Cassandra, came to us from her breeders. She is your typical 5 month old puppy.

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

Today at 12:22 PM   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.

From:   (Original Message) Sent: 5/26/2006 9:02 PM 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. Read the story at the link or see the reprint below.  It is so horrible to think that if one person tells a lie and a bunch of people believe it and start giving it credibility, it can blow out of proportion and actually seem like the truth. That is what happened here, but it was little more than that; a big lie, a false story and a great injustice, both to Tiergan and to the great rescue group Gentle Giants that actually saved his life, loved and cared for him and is still mourning his loss. 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!

"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
