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

Hello world! My name is Loki, and I’m so glad you clicked on my profile. I’m a 130-pound Great Dane with an even bigger heart, and I can’t wait to find my forever home!A few things you should know about me: I can be a little nervous when meeting new people. My first meet-and-greet may involve some cautious sniffs while I get comfortable. I’m currently working with my foster parents and a trainer to build my confidence and learn better ways to communicate when I’m unsure. Like many sensitive dogs, I’ve occasionally used quick warning snaps when I feel overwhelmed or confused. Because of this, I need a home that understands canine body language, respects my boundaries, and is committed to continuing my training so I feel safe and supported. I have a high prey drive when wearing a flat collar (those squirrels really test me!), but when I’m on a prong collar, I’m a total gentleman and can calmly pass squirrels and bunnies.Once I know you, I am the sweetest, cuddliest, and most loyal companion you could ask for. I love hugs, kisses, and being close to my people—expect lots of affection! Ultimately, I’m looking for a patient, dog-savvy adopter—ideally with large-breed experience—who understands what they’re signing up for and is excited to work with me so I can be the best pup I can be. In return, I’ll give you unwavering loyalty, love, and a whole lot of Dane-sized snuggles.  ##2565971##

Story
KaiaKona is a sweet, loving, and playful dog. She is either sleeping, playing with toys, or running around the yard. She is a mellow dog, but gets excited when going outside and playing and will do best in a home with older children. She would like a home with a yard as she likes to run around or sunbathe. She knows all basic cammands and is house trained. She had free roam at her last home and did fine. We have owned her for several months and are experiencing alpha conflicts with an existing dog, so she is crated when there is no one in the home. She is having crate anxiety when left alone. She still sleeps in a crate with the door open or closed at night and is fine with a person in the room with her. She would do best as an only pet and will repay you with her loving personality. She would do best with an experienced owner who understands the needs of a large dog.

Story
Goliath was picked up as a puppy at six months old and has been at the shelter in Wortham, Texas ever sincec- over 900 days. He was just a stray found on the highway. As with many Danes, he’s a very sensitive dog. He's also very smart. When he gets out of his kennel he is so happy and loves to run and play. He loves treats and toys. The minute it’s time to go back into his kennel, he pouts and is so sad. Once in his kennel, he will ignore you and won’t even take a treat from you. He goes to his dog house and just pouts- it's heartbreaking. He absolutely loves to go for walks, but he’s so smart and knows when it’s time to turn around, that means it’s time to go back to the shelter and he will stop in the middle of the road and refuse to walk because he doesn’t want to go back to the shelter.  For the first time in over 900 days, he had a adopter. He lasted there one week before he got sent back due to signs of jealousy of the other dog. It has officially been determined he cannot be in a home with other dogs or cats. He is a sweet, sweet boy that will be a wonderful dog for somebody. He just wants the focus to be on him. He’s tired of the shelter life. He desperately wants a home. Unfortunately Goliath, and all the animals at the Wortham shelter, have little prospects as the shelter does little to no adoptions. There is a small group of individuals in Wortham that work tirelessly to network (and vet, on a very limited budget) these animals to foster-based rescues in and out of Texas that are willing to consider them. Red Fern was contacted by one of these volunteers who together with her high school daughter, go to the holding facility every day to walk the dogs, socialize them, take them to the vet, and just spend quality time with them. Potty trained? Unknown  Crate trained? Unknown  Leash trained? Yes, loves walks.  Goliath is fully vetted and HW negative. Red Fern Animal Rescue offers a two week foster to adopt trial in your home before finalizing the adoption to ensure the animal is the right fit for you, everyone in the home, human & animal, and vice versa. Red Fern Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foster-based animal rescue in Denver that saves animals from abandonment and neglect in South Texas for new lives in Colorado. We primarily rescue dogs off the streets and from kill shelters in San Antonio. ##2608396##

Story
Riot is a super sweet 4.5 year, 130 pound big baby & the most sweet, affectionate, friendly, handsome boy. He is super easy as he sleeps most of the time. He wants to be with you & will follow you to whatever room you go into. He gives “gentle kisses” & you can apply “gentle” to anything you tell him. Riot is also great with kids! Riot needs slow intros to other dogs but has happily lived with a 45 pound dog for over a year as well as many female puppy fosters.  Riot needs a foster home for a couple months while his pawrent moves. The ideal home would have no dogs, but he could be introduced to one other easy going dog. If that sounds like you, please consider him and reach out so we can discuss. If not, please share with your network. Thank you.

Story
Roper was running at large in North Texas and found his happy place at a French Bulldog breeder’s property SO if you see some really big FBs you know who the baby daddy is! He got his name because the sheriff roped him to break up the party. Our founder drove him to Colorado and just because of his size, she said people wouldn’t even make eye contact with her at gas stations, especially when she got him out to tinkle. She felt totally safe with him and so happy to have him along for the ride. He is 80-ish pounds and we think Dane and whatever. Roper has since been neutered, is current on vaccines, and has been working with a trainer on general obedience. His best owner would be alpha and keep up his training. This boy is sweet and athletic - watching him run and play is a beautiful thing. Please email dancingdogrescueco@gmail.com for foster or adoption information.
