Story
🌪️Thor "Thornado" — Hope on Four Enormous Paws Thor has a lot of nicknames, and every single one of them is earned. At our sanctuary, he's more than a dog — he's a blessing, a source of constant smiles, and honestly, he's hope itself. Thor is the perfect example of why we do this work. Thor's start in life was brutal. His parents, two Great Danes, were kept attached to a huge chain, supposedly to "guard the house," while being left malnourished, bones showing, baking in the sun with no relief. No one knows how many litters his mom endured before neighbors finally reached out to us for help. We rescued all six of them — mom, dad, and four puppies. Mom and dad are now safe in a foster home, healing. Out of the four puppies, Thor was the one who suffered the most. His immune system essentially shut down. His little body swelled, his skin began breaking down — it was touch and go. It has taken almost four months of care, patience, and love to bring him back, little by little. And today, we get to celebrate: Thor is a thriving, happy boy. He's basically a pony at this point — a big, beautiful tornado of a dog who has absolutely no idea how large he actually is. He's an amazing soul wrapped in an enormous body, and he is finally, truly ready. It's time for Thor to start living la dulce vida. He is so deeply loved here, and as much as it will be hard to say goodbye, he deserves more than we can give him at the sanctuary — he deserves a real bed, a real family, and a real home to call his own for the rest of his life. If you have the space and the heart for a gentle giant who fought this hard to be here, Thor is ready to give you everything he's got.

Gracie has one of those gentle souls that makes you feel at home. She's playful, affectionate, and loves spending time outside, but she also knows how to slow down and enjoy the quiet moments. Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, a day in the yard, or a cozy afternoon on the couch while it rains, Gracie is simply happy to be by your side. She has a wonderful ability to match your energy, making her the kind of companion who's always up for an adventure but equally content just enjoying life together.

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!

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! **** Please read adoption information carefully!!!**** Odin is a stunningly handsome little boy -male, 7 months -supposedly pure-bread, -Neutered -Current Weight : 90 lbs, will grow -Crate trained -Potty trained Odin is a big, funny bundle of joy, energy, and affection. He is just a big goofball! Odin is still a puppy, and will continue to grow. He is on the bigger side, but has an abundance of affection and cuteness! Odin is a well-adjusted puppy who has been hand raised. He has never shown any signs of aggression of any kind, including food aggression, although he can occasionally be a little rambunctious. He really thinks that he is a little dog…. ? Odin wants to be a lapdog; he can’t quite figure out why he doesn’t fit in my lap, but he settles for putting his head in my lap, since the rest of him doesn’t fit 😜 Odin is used to playing and sleeping with the other dogs on the property. He is well socialized, both with humans and dogs. While I have never seen him interact with a cat, I have no reason to anticipate a problem. ************************************ ADOPTION INFORMATION ************************************ I only adopt LOCALLY; San Diego and immediate vicinity.

WE ARE COURTESY POSTING THIS DOG FOR THE MORENO VALLEY ANIMAL SHELTER TO HELP THEM FIND A HOME. The shelter is severely overcrowded and desperately needs help finding adopters. Dogs are being turned in higher numbers than the shelter can accommodate; therefore, many are losing their lives simply due to a lack of cage space. We are helping get the word out about their immediate need. Please save this deserving pooch and clear a kennel for another dog in need today! This beautiful dog is located in the Moreno Valley shelter. Shelter needs to clear kennels. They are over capacity and all available dogs are in urgent need. Please visit or email the shelter directly to adopt. Shelter staff named me LIZEL and I am a spayed female, black and white Great Dane mix. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years old. I weigh approximately 90.00 lbs.
