Matilda is a black Great Dane who has already lived several lifetimes in just a few short months. She came into rescue about four months ago underweight, covered in ticks, heavily pregnant, and with an old injury to her left hip. She was quickly placed with a foster family, where she gave birth to six beautiful puppies and spent the next three months devoted to raising them. With her babies now off to their forever homes, Matilda is finally getting the chance to enjoy being the center of attention herself.
She loves every person she meets and is especially gentle and patient with kids, happily soaking up their attention. Matilda is very people-oriented and stays close, often leaning in or quietly following from room to room. She’s equally friendly with dogs of all sizes and enjoys playing chase, tug, and a good round of wrestling with her foster siblings. There’s no edge to her play—she’s just happy to be included.
Matilda has a playful, goofy side that keeps things interesting. She enjoys “redecorating” by picking up items she likes and relocating them, whether that’s shoes, toys, or the occasional Christmas decoration. Thankfully, she usually just moves things rather than destroying them, though a stuffed toy may lose its filling from time to time. When playtime is over, she’s perfectly content chewing on a bone or stretching out for a nap on the couch or bed, complete with the cutest little grunts as she settles in.
She walks nicely on a leash, enjoys car rides, and does fine in a crate. Matilda does have an old injury to her left hip, likely from being hit by a car many months ago, and she is scheduled for corrective surgery to prevent future issues. Right now, it doesn’t slow her down at all—she runs and plays without limping or showing signs of discomfort.
Matilda is a sweet, social, easygoing dog who has given so much and is ready to receive that same care in return. She would thrive in a home that wants an affectionate, playful companion who enjoys both activity and downtime. After everything she’s been through, Matilda is ready for a stable, loving home where she can simply be cherished.

More about this rescue
To rescue Great Danes from neglect, abuse, and abandonment while providing medical care and individual rehabilitation through our experienced and loving foster home program until we are able to provide each rescued Dane with a qualified, caring, and permanent home that will ensure a good quality of life they deserve.
To assist owners that cannot afford spaying, neutering or heartworm treatment as funds allow while also educating owners on affordable, local spay/neuter clinics, spay/neuter benefits, vaccinations, backyard breeding, behavior, nutrition, and obedience. Additionally, we want to be a link point to other rescues and clubs. Raising awareness around rescues and the Great Dane breed is of great importance to us.
We have been rescuing Great Danes since 2011 and we take pride in the collective love, concern, and dedication we have given to the misunderstood and forgotten Danes. It is our mission to continue to be the voices of the less fortunate Danes and to provide them safety and their birthright to a quality of life filled with love and dignity. You can help us achieve our mission by donating funds, items from our wishlist, items of relevance, your time through volunteering, or by lending your home as a foster.
