Meet Gwen – Your Gentle Giant in the Making



Gwen is a mellow, easygoing girl with a heart as big as her paws are going to be! With her super sweet nature and calm temperament, she brings a peaceful, loving presence wherever she goes.



This smart girl already knows “sit” and “lay,” and she’s continuing to make great progress with potty training. She’s doing well with crate training and settles in nicely at night, making her an easy addition to the household routine.



Gwen loves going on walks and exploring the world alongside her people. She adores kids, doesn’t mind cats, and enjoys the company of other dogs. When it comes to motivation, Gwen has her own unique style — forget the treats! This girl is all about toys and sticks. If there’s a toy to chase or a stick to carry, she’s all in!



Gwen’s Ideal Home



Gwen will likely grow into a very large dog, so her perfect adopter is someone ready for a big pup and committed to continuing her training and socialization as she matures. Thanks to her calm, steady personality, she will do well in many different households — including first-time giant breed owners who understand and are prepared for her future size and needs.



She will especially thrive in a home with another friendly, confident dog to help show her the ropes and continue building her confidence. A fenced yard will be a wonderful bonus for safe playtime, but the most important thing is a loving home committed to giving her guidance, structure, and lots of toy-filled fun.



If you’re ready to welcome a sweet, steady companion who’s growing into her giant-sized heart, Gwen may be your perfect match.

More about this rescue

Just Giant Rescue Inc (JGRI) is a dog rescue catering to giant breed dogs. We don’t discriminate against breed, but they must be giants such as the regal Great Dane, loyal Mastiff, and clownish Saint Bernard, to name a few.

We strive to follow the 3 R’s.
• Rescuing. We rescue from all types of situations, owner surrenders, and from local shelters. We strive to help as many as we can, with what resources we have available.
• Rehabilitating. All dogs are fostered inside loving homes, becoming temporary family members. They are fully vet checked, vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and guarded against heartworm, fleas and ticks. They are also given a temperament test prior to being eligible for adoption.
• Re-homing. Each dog is individually matched with the best suited adoptive home for them. Each applicant wanting to adopt must fill out an application and complete a home check prior to being approved.
