Great Dane puppies and dogs in Derby, Connecticut

APPLY FOR ARLO I’m Arlo, your friendly neighborhood Great Dane, and at a sprightly 1.5 years old, I’m ready to leap into the next big adventure—finding my forever home!   So, here’s a little backstory: my last family had to let me go because I got a wee bit snack-happy with something I shouldn’t have munched on, and they couldn’t swing the vet bill. But fear not! A bunch of superhero humans swooped in to save the day and gave me all the TLC I needed. Now, I’m back to feeling like a million bucks!   They say I’m the quintessential Great Dane—loveably goofy, adorably clumsy, and oh-so-playful! And let’s set the record straight: I may be a towering giant (allegedly), but trust me, I fancy myself a lap dog! Seriously, there’s a comfy spot on your lap just waiting for me!   I adore fellow doggos and the kiddos who are steady on their feet (because I sometimes forget I’m a big ol’ guy and don’t want to accidentally turn playtime into a bowling match!). As for kitties? Well, I’ve yet to meet one, but I’m pretty sure we’d hit it off like peanut butter and jelly when introduced properly!   I’m on the lookout for a fabulous family who knows the ropes of handling big pups like me and who can keep my brain and bouncy body entertained!    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 ARLO ##2626530##

MACARONI IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE ADOPTED!    Macaroni is a Great Dane that wants to lounge on the couch with his person. He is 7 years old and weighs 140 pounds.  He is house broken. He is always up for a walk around the neighborhood and is moving 0-60 when the leash comes out. He is good with chill cats and enjoys sleeping on his bed or couch after a long day. Macaroni has been around very young foster puppies and done well, but it would be best for him to be the only dog in his new home as he doesn’t do well with other adult dogs that would possibly not be submissive to him. Macaroni needs a family with precious large breed  or Great Dane experience. He can be picky with new people and needs someone who can handle his size and preferences. Macaroni is ready to be part of your family and start making the memories you can only experience with him. He is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all dog vaccinations. His adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to CT. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Macaroni up north to his new family. You can apply to adopt him today!     If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com   You can apply to adopt Macaroni here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net   THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!

Welcome Plainer to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 4-year-old Great Dane. She came in with a male Great Dane and she does great with him. She has a little grey on her muzzle and she smiles and wrinkles her nose. She then puts her head in your hands. It was startling the first time we saw her wrinkle her nose. We thought it was a negative indicator but the more we worked with her the more we knew it was her way to smile. She is adorable. She is moderately active and would be fine with a lower energy family. She will be fine as an only pet and she would be fine with children. She is an adult so you won’t have all the puppy antics to put up with. She is good in her crate and good on a leash. She is currently going to be cleared for the heartworms and then spayed and readied for her forever home. She is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is 180. 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.

Flora is only seven months old, but there is already something wonderfully calm and thoughtful about her. She is gentle with little kids, respectful with cats, sweet with other dogs and perfectly content entertaining herself with a toy in the grass. Everyone who meets Flora seems to fall in love with her soft, easygoing presence. Go watch Flora on YouTube to see her sweet personality in action and find out exactly what her DNA test revealed. If you want to skip ahead (but why would you) results are at the 2 minute mark. https://youtu.be/dBsMqKiJqJo?si=KDzS2gSNbTIUadua That’s right- we do not have to guess Flora’s breed mix! Her foster was as curious as we were and sent off a DNA test! Lucky you, there is no 6 week wait time and the results show that she is a Rottweiler and Great Dane mix. She is still growing and will likely become a fairly large dog, but so far, she carries herself with a gentleness and maturity that feel well beyond her six months. Flora is fostered in a busy, loving home with dogs and cats. Most of the resident dogs are older and not particularly interested in keeping a puppy entertained all day, but Flora handles that beautifully. She will happily carry a toy or chewy bone outside, settle into the grass, putter around sniffing and enjoy her own company. She does not need another dog to be happy, though she does enjoy friendly, lighthearted dogs that like to play without being overly rough. Flora currently lives with small dogs and thrives with them. She is also genuinely wonderful with cats. Flora lives with them and remained calm and respectful when she met our house cat, even while he ran, jumped, played and attempted to stalk her. She was unfazed and showed no interest in chasing or bothering him. Flora has spent time with children ranging from two to 15 years old and has been wonderful with them. She is still a growing puppy and may occasionally jump when excited, but she has shown impressive mindfulness and gentleness around smaller children. At home, Flora has been an incredibly easy addition. She is both house and crate trained, has basic leash skills and responds well to direction. She is highly treat motivated, intelligent and eager to learn. Her best match will be someone excited to continue her training, building her confidence and give that thoughtful puppy brain plenty of positive things to do. Flora’s foster truly has nothing but praise for her. She is sweet, content, beautifully gentle and already such a lovely companion. She could live in a house or apartment as long as her family is prepared for her eventual size and committed to giving this intelligent girl the continued training, socialization and reassurance she needs to keep growing into her very best self.
