My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing Apollo! (now called Titan)



Goofy Social Energetic Smart



Hi, I’m Titan! I’m a curious, affectionate, and playful guy whose favorite thing in the world is just being with my people. I’m your typical Great Dane—I’ll lean into you for pets, follow you from room to room, and make sure I’m never far from your side. I love to run, play fetch, and bask in the sunshine, and when I’m not doing that, I’m usually trying to convince my foster sisters to wrestle or play chase!



I love meeting new people and enjoy every bit of attention, especially brushing and ear rubs. I get along great with other dogs—big or small, male or female—and have a blast playing with my foster siblings. I’ve been around kids, and while I’m super sweet, I might be a bit much for little ones unless they’re familiar with big dogs like me. I’m mostly respectful with cats indoors, but I might bark or give chase outdoors if they catch my attention.



Likes:




  • Playing ball and zooming around the yard

  • Getting brushed and loved on

  • Being with my people



Dislikes:




  • Don’t love being left alone for too long



I’m housebroken, kennel-trained, and know lots of commands like sit, stay, wait, fetch, and kennel. I go into my crate easily when asked. I walk nicely on a leash and would do best in a home where I get plenty of daily exercise and playtime to keep me happy and out of trouble.



I’m in good health overall. I did have a kidney stone but it was successfully removed. I am on a prescription diet and will need to continue it in my forever home. 



Forever Home Wishlist:




  • A physical fence is strongly recommended so I can safely stretch my legs

  • A midsize or large yard where I can zoom around

  • A family who is committed to exercise, play, and mental stimulation

  • A family who is patient and understanding that I may have had a rough past

  • A home that’s attentive to potty routines and gives me lots of companionship

  • I love being around my people but can handle being left alone for up to 8 hours at a time if needed.

  • I might do well in an apartment setting.



Fun Fact: When I’m extra happy, I carry my blanket around like it’s the most important thing in the world. It’s kind of my signature move!

More about this rescue

Upper Midwest Great Dane Rescue was started in 2008 by a group of Dane lovers who desire to help Danes in need. The rescue is made up of all volunteers who lovingly give of their time and money to help these wonderful dogs. Volunteers include people from every walk of life, all with one thing in common, love of Great Danes.

Each animal coming to the rescue is temperament tested, given a physical, vaccinated, wormed, checked for heartworm and tick borne illnesses and treated as needed. All dogs are sterilized before being re homed. The dog is then placed in a foster home to wait for someone to love it forever.
