My story

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

Meet Linus — your future gentle giant in the making
Linus is a 4 month old Great Dane mix ( Great Dane, Cane Corso, Pitbull, Husky) with a heart as big as the paws he’s growing into. While he’s still a little small for a Dane right now, don’t be fooled—those oversized feet promise an impressively handsome big dog in his future!
This chill little dude has the perfect balance of laid-back and playful. He’s content entertaining himself, happily chewing on bones, squeaky toys, or ropes, but he’s also always up for a house-wide wrestling match with his sister. Toys of all kinds are his love language.
Linus is already crate trained and house trained, and he’s learning how to walk on a leash. He’s curious, treat-motivated, and a quick learner, so with a little guidance and consistency from his new family, his leash manners will keep getting better. One of his favorite activities right now? Plowing joyfully through piles of leaves while practicing his on-leash skills
In public, Linus can be a bit reserved, but with exposure and patience from his forever family, he’s expected to grow into a well-mannered, confident companion. He does great with other dogs and would also be happy as an only pet, soaking up all the love.
What Linus needs:
A loving forever home
A fenced yard so he has a safe place to run, play, and explore
A family excited to help a young pup continue learning and growing
Location: Fostered in Pilot Mountain, NC
Interested in adopting Linus? Email info@greatdanefriends.com to request an application.
If you’re looking for a sweet, curious, and easygoing pup who’s going to grow into a truly special dog, Linus might just be your perfect match


*****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions. We require a fenced yard (exceptions made on a case by case basis - NO exceptions for puppies or deaf/vision impaired dogs - no invisible fencing), that stairs in the home be covered with some sort of slip resistant material to prevent injury, that all other animals in the home be up to date on vaccinations as well as spayed/neutered and that all dogs live inside as a part of the family. Our approval process consists of an application, vet and reference checks, phone interview and house check. Please email us for an application or if you have any questions.*****
