Story
Hi. Gus is a one of a kind super special dog. He is full of goofy puppy energy. He wants to play non stop. He loves other dogs and thinks they all want to be his best friend. Even more than dogs he loves children. The only time he seems to settle down is if there is a kid to snuggle. Gus is very food motivated and super smart. He would thrive in an obedience school and agility. Gus suffered a great deal at the hands of a human. He almost didn't make it. You would never know that now. Gus must have a home with another dog. He would not do well on his own for long periods. Please call me to meet Gus. 952 855-6495

Story
Meet Morocco, I previously rescued him from the Humane Society, where they didn't really have any information on his previous life/whereabouts. He is 2 years old, almost 3 and looking for a spacious home. A home with a large backyard, or would love a farm where he can herd. I would describe him at cuddly, energetic, smart, witty, and adorable. He has some behavioral issues, that I have worked hard to correct. But he needs more training and time that unfortunately I can not give him right now. He is very well trained at home, but needs extra help outside the home. He has the potential to be an AMAZING companion!

Story
2/11/2023  Introducing Luna & Ares This precious pair has a bond like no other! They are 4 year old littermates who have always been together and MUST stay together. They are currently fostered in Presque Isle, WI. They will have a special reduced combined adoption fee of $400 (plus tax) to be adopted together. They are both adult, kid,and dog friendly. Prior to surrender they also lived with cats. They are house,kennel and leash trained as well as have excellent car manners. They enjoy walks and meeting new people...they charmed the staff at the vet clinic! Consistency and routine is needed to help them learn their environment due to vision and hearing impairments. Luna is a spayed white 115 pound female. Her tail was docked when she was 1.5 years old due to issues from "happy tail". She is both sight and hearing impaired though she gets around so well  you may not even notice. She can hear certain sounds and responds immediately when she hears your call Luna Bell. Luna is the leader of this bonded duo, with Ares often following her lead and seeking her for direction. Some days she does appreciate a break from this role and it is important her new family recognizes when she needs this little break.  Areas is a neutered white 154 pound male. He is deaf, and lost his left eye secondary to failed cherry eye surgeries. He receives ointment for his right eye and needs drops 2x a day. He has limited vision in his right eye reacting to light and movement. Once he has an environment layout memorized, he gets around pretty well and doesn't bump into things. Luna is great with assisting him around when he needs a guide. When Luna isn’t around to assist him he will rely on his people when he needs a little guidance. His name is Greek and represents the god of warfare and courage, and this boy is the epitome of courage! He has been through a lot since coming into the rescue but is one of the kindest, sweetest, fun loving Danes you will ever meet. Hard Requirements their adoptive home include a physically fenced yard and a home with minimal steps. An open concept home would be most beneficial. They are both very smart and quickly learn to adapt to their new environments. Keeping the home layout the same will help them really nail down the home pattern in their minds. If there are children in an adoptive home, tweens and older kids would fit them best so the home isn’t changed often by children's toys/belongings spread about the floor which could confuse them and their understanding of the layout of the home. Do you think you may be the adopter that this precious pair is waiting for? If so, this is what you need to do:    -  If you have already completed the application process and are an approved adopter with UMGDR, please contact Callie at callie@thegreatdanerescue.com to learn more about Luna & Ares.   -  If you are not yet an approved adopter through UMGDR, you must complete our application process before you could be considered to adopt a dog through our rescue.

Story
Introducing Maxwell!Bio:* 9 month old active puppy* White Neutered Male* Located in Presque Isle, WIBasic Info:* Maxwell has significant vision impairment--it is estimated that he can only see about 5% out of one eye, however foster mom questions this estimate as he does see "something" and gets along really well once he understands the layout of the environment. He might see blobs/lightness/darkness of objects/etc. He can see motion & will react according to what the motion is doing. He may see certain areas of light/dark etc that help him to move around.* While not completely deaf, he has a significant hearing impairment. Maxwell appears to hear only certain high pitch noises out of one ear (things like loud voices/dogs barking/vehicles revving up)* Really loves on his people and looks to them for guidance and reassurance due to his hearing and vision losses* Excellent car rider* No known experience with catsLikes:* Playing with toys; balls/rope balls/ deer antlers etc.* Walks; he is a very curious pup who loves to explore everything he can get his nose and paws on* Loves doing zoomies in the backyardDislikes:* Being left alone. If he feels that he is all alone he will bark constantly. Someone who is home more often than not would best suit his current needs. At this time a standard 8-hour work day is too long for him to be left alone* People in his face and not respecting his boundaries* Objects/people/other dogs that move quickly. With his limited sight and hearing these fast movements can make him a bit nervous and unsure of his surroundingsHard Requirements For Forever Home:* Due to his hearing and vision impairments, he requires a physically fenced in yard* Requires a home with another submissive, active canine who can help him burn off puppy energy and who can mentor him in these crucial months of training and "growing" up!* If there are children, his foster mom asks they be at least 12 years or older, with calm demeanors* A calm and consistent home life is vital to his success! A busy and chaotic environment would be too stressful for himSpecial Note From Foster Mom:* This fella is a pretty special puppy! He has been bounced around a lot unfortunately and really needs an adopter who will go above and beyond as he is most deserving. Someone with deaf/vision impairment experience would be a blessing for him. Maxwell is a one in a million Dane. I just know there is a special home out there for him that will supersede all our expectations.Interested in Maxwell? This is what you need do:* If you have already completed the application process and are an approved adopter with UMGDR, please contact Michelle at michelle@thegreatdanerescue.com to discuss your interest in Maxwell.* If you are not an approved adopter through UMGDR, you must complete our application process before you can be considered to adopt a dog through our rescue.

Story
Introducing Bertha (BB!)Bio:- 4 years old- Spayed female- Mantle coat- Located in Ripon, WIBasic Info:- Significant vision impairment, completely blind in left eye and can only see shadows or dark spots in her right eye- Super snuggler- loves cuddles and lots of attention from people- Walks nicely with a harness, doesn't pull- Crate trained; is crated overnight for sleeping, Bertha has been left alone for about 4 hours while her foster mom was at work and did great! She has never had an accident in the house or the crate.- No known cat experience- Unknown if she has ever lived with kids (none in foster and she came from a humane society prior to our rescue)Likes:- Walks, these are her absolute favorite!- Enjoys chew toys and stuffed animals- Always down for a napDislikes/Quirks:- Not a fan of sharing her space or food with other dogs. This could be due to her sight loss and confusion of other dogs in her space. She will do best in a home where she is the only dog.- Does not like loud noises and being sneaked up on and/ startled; again related to her sight loss- Would rather not get a bath if she doesn't have toMedical Notes:- Other than being almost completely blind, she has no medical concerns. She has a few lipomas (fatty tissue spots) on her legs/side, but these have been evaluated by a vet and they are not a health concern and do not bother her physicallyHard Requirements For Forever Home:- Due to extreme vision impairment, she will require a fenced in yard for her safety or leash only walks.- An adoptive home where she can be the only dog- While Bertha has not been aggressive to anyone, her lack of being able to see and assess her surroundings visually leave her easily startled and possibly on the defensive. For that reason a calm home environment is needed for this sweet girl. If there are children in an adoptive home we ask that they be at least 12 years old and able to understand this need and provide her the calm, predictable environment she needs.If you think you may be the adoptive home that this super sweet girl is waiting for, this is what you need to do:- If you have already completed the application process and are an approved adopter with UMGDR, please contact Stephanie at stephanie@thegreatdanerescue.com to learn more about Bertha.- If you are not yet an approved adopter through UMGDR, you must complete our application process before you could be considered to adopt a dog through our rescue.
