Caesar's Story 

Caesar was turned over to the Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue early in his life.  Originally he was purchased from a breeder in New Jersey. Shortly after Caesar was purchased he began to drag his hind left leg.  After a few months of consultations with various veterinarians it was determined that Caesar had injured his hip at an early age and would require a total left hip replacement or he would have to be destroyed before he turned 3 because the arthritis and pain would only get much worse.  The original purchasing family called the breeder and the breeder was willing to take him back but would euthanize him. The family loved him and didnt want to see that happen so they contacted the rescue.The rescue decided to give Caesar a chance in life.  Even in all of this pain Caesar displayed the typical friendly Dane personality.  After many fund raisers and generous donations from the public Caesar underwent a hip replacement and aqua therapy classes.  He was adopted by Regina Morgan & family in February 2003 and certified as a Therapy Dog in December 2003.  Caesar is a blood donor with the Eastern Veterinary Blood Bank in Maryland and because of his size can donate 1 unit of blood per visit for his fellow canines in need. Caesar especially loves his bi-monthly visits with the patients and staff at The Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC.
