Story
Names: Lilo & Stitch Nicknames: "Hey!" "You guys!" "Girls!" Breed: Great Dane mixes (Yep, mom was a Great Dane! Dad is a mystery) Sex: Females Ages: Just about 4 months Current weights: Lilo 18 and Stitch 22 Final weight: L-XL Before OMD: Transferred to us from a rescue partner. Energy level: Average puppy. We're guessing medium-ish for their adult years but don't hold us to that. What we definitely know: They're wiggly. They're playful. They give excellent kisses. They stomp around like horses. They love stinky cheese. They never sit still. They’re curious. They love to be carried on their backs like babies. They're sweet. They have big barks. They have large ankles. They have average puppy mischievousness. Dogs: Yea! They've played well with dogs they've met and are daycare pros at this point. Cats: Maybe! They should be able to learn how to respectfully interact with felines. Kids: Sure! Disclaimer* We are expecting them to get rather large rather quickly! House-trained: No they're puppies. Crate-trained: No they're puppies. Lilo and Stitch are vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. She is available for adoption to CT and surrounding states.

Story
This big, sweet, lovable bub is available for adoption!! Thorne is about 2.5 years old and is a big boy at 70 lbs. We think he is some type of Great Dane mix but it doesn’t matter because he is just so handsome! He had such a sad, sad life before being rescued. Thorne found himself in a high kill shelter with just days left before being euthanized when a wonderful person picked up this sweet boy to help him find a better life. He’s currently being fostered in Arkansas where he is getting lots of love in preparation for finding his forever home!! He does great in his kennel, he plays well with other big dogs- he prefers female dogs and non dominant males. He’s very calm- loves all the cuddles and sometimes forgets he’s a big boy. Thorne is going to take a special adopter BUT we know they are out there and waiting on him!!! Thorne is fully vetted, neutered, microchipped and is heartworm negative.

Story
Potato’s ready to find his forever people!   Potato is a 4 year old Great Dane. He weighs about 120 pounds! Potato is good with other dogs. Potato would do best with kids 12+ as he is a big guy that could potentially knock younger kiddos over. We are not sure how potato is with cats so we feel it would be best if he went to a feline free home. Potato is house broken and crate trained, but he is not destructive at all! Potato is a pretty active guy that loves to run around the yard and go for walks, so he would love a home that will give him plenty of playtime and exercise. Potato is a big goofy guy with so much personality. He loves getting lots of attention and snuggling up on the couch with you. Potato needs a family that is familiar with providing structure and boundaries.  We will not be considering first time dog owners for potato! We would prefer his adopter owns their home and would love previous extra large breed experience.  If you would like to welcome Potato home, please visit our website and fill out an application.  Astdogrescue.com ##1731934##
