Our well trained, loving, playful Klifford needs a home that will have the time and space to give him the extra love and attention Great Danes require. We have young kids and busy work schedules that sadly don’t allow us to give him the attention he deserves. Saying goodbye to him will be extremely hard, but for his quality of life, we know it’s best. He will be the best addition to any family!

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.

Story
Meet Our Sweet Girl! Looking for a big-hearted best friend? This sweet Great Dane mix is a few years old, full of charm, and ready to find her forever home. She’s the perfect blend of playful energy and laid-back snuggles — the kind of dog who can romp around with her buddies at daycare and then happily curl up for a long, cozy nap. She loves other dogs and would thrive in a home familiar with the needs of Great Danes. A fenced yard where she can stretch those long legs and enjoy some playtime would be a dream come true for her. If you’re experienced with giant breeds and ready to welcome a gentle, affectionate girl into your life, she might just be your perfect match. She’s ready to love big — now she just needs someone to love her back.
