Story
**Courtesy Post** Location: Bakersfield, CA Please meet Karlos, he is a 5 year old Great Dane who needs a new home. He does know sit, down (laying down), stay with reward, will come when called 75% of the time. Karlos has become rather unruly, getting into trash, barking, marking everything, begging for human food, growling when told "no". He does not respect his owners, nor do they wish to work with him any longer. We have encouraged the owners to have him neutered. If you have experience with Great Danes and are willing to put time and patience into working with Karlos, please reach out to us: info@savethedals.org

Story
Letty is a 3-year-old Harlequin Great Dane with a heart as big as her paws. She’s a quirky, funny girl who takes a little time to warm up, but once she does, her sweet and silly personality shines through. Letty had a broken leg as a pup and now has a plate in her right hind leg—she gets around great and doesn’t let it slow her down. She absolutely loves her crate and sees it as her safe space. She’s crate-trained, does well with routines, and enjoys spending time both indoors and out—an ideal home would have a yard for her to explore. Letty would thrive in a home with another dog to help boost her confidence. She can be food-aggressive, so a home that’s familiar with managing mealtimes in multi-dog households would be ideal. She has a high prey drive—she’s fascinated by small dogs and cats, but she’s never aggressive, just overly playful and curious. Does need some leash training, currently walked on a vibration collar only and she does really well. She is scared of loud noises.

Oden is a wonderful and growing Great Dane puppy. He spent the first five months of his life on a 5 to 6 foot chain. So when he arrived at the shelter, he did not have a lot of manners. But he is sweet as all get out. He is loving, playful, and just wonderful!
