Story
FIONA NEEDS AN ADOPTER WITH A PRIVATE BACKYARD, WITHOUT YOUNG CHILDREN OR OTHER PETS AND PREFERABLY WHO IS EXPERIENCED WITH GREAT DANES/LARGE BREEDS. Meet super sweet Princess Fiona. She is an 8-year-old Great Dane. Her family moved out of state and now she is on The Rescue Train waiting for her fairytale ending. We are looking for a FURever home for this majestic creature. She's a young 8-year old, very strong and active. Her favorite activity is playing with her ball and chasing it around. She’s very kind and gentle, as well as a couch potato who just wants to be loved and give love. Fiona has limited vision, about 20-40%, and for that reason she can be protective of herself around new people and new animals. She needs a lot of verbal cues, but once she feels safe with you, she becomes a giant love bug...and we mean GIANT! --- If you are interested in adopting FIONA please fill out our foster/adoption application by clicking this LINK.

Story
Billy is a 4 year old female Harlequin Great Dane. She is a sweet girl - gets along with any human including kids - gets along with dogs she sees on walks and at parks - does NOT get along with my current dog. I've had Billy since she was a puppy - she was purchased from a reputable breeder in Los Angeles - but over the last year her and my other female adult dog have been getting aggressive towards each other and it has created a hostile environment. Once her aggression towards my dog began it was manageable up until recently when the fights have been getting more and more dangerous. She is potty trained, kennel trained, e-collar trained, and does well in every other regard. She really is a sweet girl she just needs a home with no other dogs She is not spayed - I have no personal requirements/preferences in regards to requiring she gets spayed/fixed Any other questions or concerns please do not hesitate to ask
