Story
For more information about this Dane, please visit our website at https://rmgreatdane.org. Adoption Applications link can be found on the home page. Updated 11-17-2025 Meet Chevy, a stunning merle Great Dane with a soft heart, a goofy spirit, and a journey that’s taken a lot of courage. At 5 years old, Chevy has made incredible progress in professional training, and she’s ready to find a patient, experienced family who can continue helping her grow. Personality Chevy is a shy girl at first, especially with new people and new experiences. She startles easily and can be fearful, but once she feels safe, her true personality shines. With her trusted humans, she transforms into a big, affectionate snugglebug who loves belly rubs, couch cuddles, and lounging on her back like a silly, happy seal. She’s a Velcro dog, a world-class leaner, and will happily wiggle right into your lap if you let her. She’s playful too—zoomies, rolling in the grass, and ripping squeakers out of toys are among her favorite hobbies. Training & Progress Chevy is house trained, crate trained, and knows all her basics: sit, down, come, stay, and off. She’s very treat-motivated and responds beautifully in controlled training environments. Her biggest challenge is her fear of people and dogs. Outdoors, she may bark, snap, or lunge when scared—and strangers, sudden noises, or unfamiliar dogs can be overwhelming. But with a professional trainer, she has been calm, neutral, and noticeably improving. Her foster family reports consistent progress, especially with careful, structured introductions. Chevy will absolutely thrive with a family committed to continuing her positive-reinforcement training, managing her environment, and helping her confidence grow at her pace. Ideal Home Chevy’s perfect family will offer: A quiet, predictable home with minimal surprises A fenced yard or outdoor space for zoomies and grass-rolling No other dogs or pets   Adults only, or possibly older dog-savvy teens Experience with fearful or reactive dogs (or willingness to learn) Compassion, structure, patience, and consistency She bonds deeply with her people and can be anxious when separated, but she’s getting much better about calmly settling in her kennel when home alone. Other Good Stuff LOVES car rides and will hop right into the back seat without hesitation Non-destructive in the home (other than defeating her kennel bedding!) Sleeps in the bed and loves snuggling Very gentle with food—she’ll wait for permission before eating Healthy overall, with one tooth (a fang) that will need removal &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Why You’ll Love Her Chevy is an incredibly loving, sensitive girl who just needs someone that believes in her. She may take weeks to fully settle in, but once she does, she gives her whole heart. Her goofy zoomies, her wiggly cuddle demands, her brave steps forward in training—these moments will make you fall in love with her over and over. If you’re looking for a devoted companion and are ready to help a sweet, fearful Dane blossom into her best self, Chevy may be the dog you’ve been waiting for. More about Chevy: Great Dane Experience Required Housetrained:Yes  Crate trained: Yes Needs a calm home – dog savvy adults and teens only No dogs – has shown reactivity from a distance No cats – high prey drive Professional training in process Fearful and anxious around new people – needs slow introductions Are you interested in adopting or fostering-to-adopt Chevy, reach out to Candice at placements@rmgreatdane.org.December 30, 2025, 1:01 pm

Story
Dane is a stunning blue merle great dane mix. He is about 8 months old and great with dogs of all sizes and with cats. He was rescued from a small rural shelter where he was slated to be euthanized due to time and space. He is a chill dude who likes to nap, go on walks and hang with his friends. He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take him in or he will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found.

Story
Ashley is a purebred 2 year old Armenian Gampr but they don't have that option. They are an ancient breed that is not very common in the United States. She is young and vibrant and very affectionate. She is super happy to meet everyone so she is extremely lovable. She is very healthy. She is a big energetic girl and she is a lot of dog so she needs a strong owner who is confident. She does best with playful male dogs. Please email if interested and tell me about yourself.
