My story

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

NEWLY AVAILABLE



Introducing Crow!



Playful Happy Curious Energetic



Personality: Crow is a very sweet and affectionate Great Dane who is full of puppy energy. Though he’s already a big boy, he is very much still a puppy at heart—curious, goofy, busy, and learning the ropes of life. He loves to play and explore, often carrying toys around or looking for the next fun thing to do. He is still figuring out what counts as a toy, so shoes and household items should be kept out of reach. Crow forms deep attachments to his person and loves being involved in whatever they’re doing.



Socialness: Crow may be initially shy of new people and loud or unfamiliar sounds, but with time, reassurance, and positive experiences, he becomes more confident. Having another dog in the home helps him see that people are safe, and he may warm up more quickly when he sees other dogs interacting positively. He has no experience with young children and can be clumsy due to his size and enthusiasm, so any kids in his forever home should be older and dog-savvy. Crow is playful with other dogs but may struggle with dominant males—he does best with friendly female dogs or non-assertive canine companions. He is curious but respectful with cats and shows no aggression.



Likes:




  • Toys, playtime, and carrying things around

  • Food, treats, and positive reinforcement

  • Being close to his person

  • Playing with other dogs

  • Sniffing faces and being gently petted

  • Learning new things and being included



Dislikes:




  • Being pulled by the collar or physically directed

  • Being kenneled when he knows his people are home

  • Being bored or under-stimulated



Training: Crow is crate trained—he eats in his crate, sleeps there at night, and is kenneled when his foster is out of the house. He is not destructive when uncrated but will counter surf and occasionally pick up non-toy items. He is housebroken but still learning to signal consistently when he needs to go out. He knows sit, kennel up, and wait. He is improving on down and drop it. He responds to a spray bottle for redirection when verbal cues fail. Crow will need continued basic obedience training to help him mature into a well-mannered adult Dane.



Health: Crow is currently being treated for Giardia and hookworms, but is otherwise in good health.



Forever Home Wishlist:




  • A physical fence is recommended to keep him safe while playing

  • A mid-size or larger yard so he can run around and play

  • Needs a family who is gone for no more than 6 hours at a time

  • Another dog in the home is ideal

  • Needs continued training and socialization

  • An apartment is not a good fit for him

  • Any children should be older and dog-savvy



Fun Fact: Crow can stretch his long legs so far that he accidentally moves furniture—he has no idea how big he already is!

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.
