About this shelter

Gentle Giants Rescue and Sanctuary, Inc in Wayne, NJ

I am married and have three grown sons, along with a new grandson. My deep love for animals has been a part of my life since birth, as I have always had dogs. I have a particular affection for large breeds, especially those that are ill, senior, disabled, or handicapped. My commitment is to help these vulnerable animals and provide them with the opportunity for a happy life.
