Story
We are rehoming our great livestock and family guardian dog. He is a male, recently turned three-years old. Currently on our few acre Minnesota hobby farm with chickens; sleeps inside at night as part of family. Eats raw meat diet as well as supplements. Trained with Invisible Fence. We have two male Great Pyrenees dogs and need to downsize to a one dog family. Looking for a wonderful family with a small farm or a large yard (with a fence or Invisible Fence to keep him safe). He has been well-taken care of and health-wise everything is good. Feel free to inquire/DM me with additional questions. Thank you!

Story
Sam is the sweetest, most relaxed dog we've ever known. He loves lounging on the couch, soaking up the sunspots in the living room, or just being near his people. He almost never barks inside, is well-behaved, patient (except at dinner time), and has a laid back disposition. Even at 8 years old he still has his puppy speed and loves running after bunnies and squirrels in our yard. He chases after our cat around the house at times but then snuggles up to her when he thinks we're not looking. We recently had a baby and can tell that he thinks of her more as a toy than a companion and it’s easy to understand his confusion and frustration. We just don’t want to take any chances so unfortunately, with a heavy heart, we’re in search of a new home for our sweet boy. Sam would do well in a calm environment and with an owner or owners who are home often or work remotely. We want him to be safe, loved, and appreciated in a home where he can live out the rest of his years in peace and happiness!

Story
When we decided to adopt a dog, we wanted a St. Bernard mix. We were looking for a gentle giant. One of our sons has special needs including limited vision and poor balance. Our son's safety is dependent on a dog who would not jump up when greeting or playing. When we rescued Hodoc, we thought it was a great fit. She was described as a St Bernard mix. She was confident and excited to meet everyone in the family. Unfortunately, as Hodoc grew her puppy temperament has not changed. She remains very enthusiastic and determined. A DNA test revealed that her actual breed make up is 50% German Shepherd, 30% Staffordshire Terrier and 20% Border Collie. We continue to work with her to stop her from jumping up on people, but so far we are unsuccessful. Hodoc does great with other dogs and has lived with 2 cats. She really likes children of all sizes, but she does not know how to be gentle with them. She has completed basic obedience, but jumps up on everyone she meets.

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.
