Great Dane puppies and dogs in Connecticut

Winston was rescued as a puppy living life in a crate. He was brought home to relatives who are both wheelchair-bound. This puppy grew into a Great Dane, lol! Winston is currently more than his adult owners can physically keep up with. He is trained to an electronic collar so he can run around his country yard and play with the other dog from the house. He is good with kids and loves to sit on the couch like a human, with his front paws resting on the ground. He is a big happy gentle giant looking for a home that can help him expend his energy better. He is loves his toys and would especially love a person to play with him and a lap that he can sit on, lol! If you’re looking for a big gentle giant, please contact irondawgs13@gmail.com for adoption application.

PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.Arkansas or nearby! Waylon is a 2 yr old Great Dane who came into rescue after he was found as a stray. He was in horrific shape and barely survived the level of starvation he endured. But he did survive and he is thriving now! Waylon is still slowly gaining weight, and has almost reached his ideal weight. He is VERY tall. He is so sweet and loving. He want to sit in your lap and cuddle with you, as if he is a 10lb lap dog rather than 120 lb Dane. While in his foster home, he has done well with most other dogs, but it is very structured and his time with other dogs is limited. He does seem to have a jealoys streak and is possessive of his people. He does great in a doggy daycare setting and has spent lots of time in daycare, doing very well with most dogs there. I think this is a lot different than how he will behave in a home setting with other dogs sharing his humans attention. For this reason, we would love to see him adopted into a home where he can be the only dog. He is not a candidate for a home with young kids. He is just too big and clumsy, and he really wants all the attention. I feel the he may become jealous of little kids and view them as competition. We just really want to set him up for success. He's been through enough in his short life amd we want it to be easy from here on our. Waylon holds a very special place in my heart. Hes been in my home through it all- recovering from starvation, happy tail and subsequent tail amputation, heartworm treatment. The odds were stacked against him, but he made it and now he's ready to find his own home. Waylon is located in Alexander, AR. We would prefer a local adopter, within driving distance. I think that transport would be really hard on him.

APPLY FOR NYX We would like you to meet Nyx!  Nyx is a 1 year old Great Dane that found herself at a local animal control shelter after she was believed to be abandoned at a park. She was found standing there, waiting for her humans to come back, but they never did, and they didn’t come get her out of the shelter either, so ASTDR did! Nyx is the total package! She is as sweet as they come and is very true to her breed when it comes to being a Velcro pup. Despite how she was found, we can tell someone loved her at some point. She is house broken, crate trained, know most of her basic commands as well. Nyx loves toys particularly balls and if you won’t throw it for her, she will throw it for herself! Nyx is good with other dogs, ignores cats and even ignored some birds she met at her time in the shelter! She should be with kids that are stable on their feet as she is a big girl and could unintentionally knock a toddler down. Nyx LOVES to be outside, so strong preference will be given to someone with a big fenced yard that she can run around in.  Extra large dog experience is preferred and we will not be considering first time dog owners for Nyx.  If you have room in your home and heart for Nyx, please visit our website and fill out an application.  Astdogrescue.com ADOPTION FEE: $800 ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES:  Microchip, Vaccines APPLICATION: Click here to apply IF YOU HAVE OWNED A PET IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, PLEASE CALL YOUR VET AHEAD OF TIME TO ALLOW RESCUES TO SPEAK TO THEM APPLY FOR NYX ##2619251##

Welcome Cheeto. He is a 6 month old Great Dane mix. He is 67 pounds right now and may be 80 pounds full grown. Cheeto is a great dog. He loves treats and will sit when asked to with a treat. He loves the lady kennel workers. He is timid which is common in this breed but he is very friendly and affectionate. He would be great with someone that knows and understands this wonderful breed. He was found on the streets of Texas and was taken in by a good Samaritan. He can go with children. We like them to 8 or older. He would love to be a companion for the right family. He will love being a house dog and he is energetic but not for too much time and he settles down nicely. If you have a fenced back yard, he can get enough exercise exploring it. He could also go on walks. He does pull some but he really wants to do what you are asking so consistency with him will work wonders. He is currently neutered, vaccinated, healthy and ready for his forever home. He is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is 400 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

Meet Fitz the sweetest, softest-hearted gentle giant you’ll ever come across. He has a calm, soulful presence that instantly makes you want to wrap him up in a hug. Everything about him is gentle.Fitz is truly one of a kind. Fitz is a naturally shy boy but he handles the world with so much softness. When something startles him, he doesn’t bark or react,he simply steps back and observes until he feels safe. It’s impossible not to fall in love with how tender and careful he is. Check out Fitz’s YouTube video to see his love https://youtu.be/Qb5xvatqvlI?si=XgWvzXsmoM_bTRn1 Around other dogs, Fitz is polite and respectful. He’s not the playful type with them, but he’s completely comfortable being around dogs of all sizes. He simply prefers calm company and a peaceful environment. He is also respectful of cats just a little shy at first. Now, introduce him to kids, and you’ll see a different side of him. Fitz absolutely LOVES children. It’s the only time we saw him loosen up, wag his tail, and even try to play. Watching this huge, gentle boy try to play with a kid is honestly one of the cutest things ever. Because he’s such a big guy, he’d do best with older kids who won’t get knocked over by his excitement. And treats? Oh, Fitz is obsessed. He loves treats so much he’ll do absolutely anything for one. Even then, he takes them with the softest nibble. He’s unbelievably gentle. Fitz is estimated to be around three years old and weighs about 112 pounds, all legs and love. He has the most gorgeous long “model legs” and carries himself with this graceful way of moving. At home, he’s a total comfort lover. Fitz could sunbathe for hours.And when he’s not soaking up the sunshine, he loves curling up in bed with his people, cuddled in close, happy just to be near you. He truly melts into blankets and snuggles like he was made for cozy days. Despite his size, Fitz is not a high-energy dog at all. He’d enjoy having a big yard simply for the space, but he’d also do perfectly fine in an apartment as long as his family keeps a calm environment and includes him in their daily routines. He really just wants gentle people, soft moments, and a home where he can feel safe. Fitz is genuinely amazing,loving, and full of quiet sweetness. With the right family, he will blossom into the most loyal, gentle companion.
