Story
Looking for a little island sunshine to bring home? Meet Oahu, approx. 12-week-old Great Dane mix who is ready to find her forever ohana! With her beautiful white coat and gorgeous grey markings that give her a stunning blue appearance, Oahu is a total beauty. But don`t let that sweet island-girl face fool you… this little lady has a BIG personality!Oahu is not afraid to use her voice! She is a very vocal girl who has no problem letting everyone know exactly how she`s feeling. Her foster brothers have already learned that this little island queen has no trouble bossing the boys around. She may be tiny now, but she`s already running the island! The good news? She is already working on her puppy manners! She sleeps in her crate at night and is working on potty training, so she`s making progress toward becoming the perfect little companion.Oahu is looking for a single-family home (no shared walls) where she can soak up all the love, attention, and sunshine. She`s got plenty of opinions, lots of personality, and a whole lot of love to give.She`s ready to trade foster life for sandy toes, sunny days, cozy naps, and a family she can call her very own. If you`re ready to let a little piece of paradise into your life, Oahu is ready to say ALOHA! Interested in meeting this dog? Fill out an application and we will be in touch. We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dog’s individual needs. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don’t know their background. We encourage you to base your decision on individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on our guess. Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near the Chicagoland area. Questions? Email us at adoptions@sccrescue.org. Hope to see you become part of the SCCR family!

Story
Meet Ghost! Ghost is a gentle, shy neutered male, about 1 to 2 years old, a merle Great Dane of about 60 pounds, who is looking for a patient person to show him what home is all about. He was part of a large Frenchie hoarding case, and he spent a couple of months roaming neighborhoods on his own before he came into care. He has been vetted and is ready for the next chapter of his life. Ghost is very fearful and was semi-feral when he came to us, so he's still learning how to trust. He's a bundle of nerves, but there's a sweet dog under it all. On a leash, he's a star. He'll stay glued to your hip and walk like a pro. He doesn't seem to mind other animals, and he's gentle by nature. Without a leash and a job to do, Ghost can seem unsure how to just be a dog, and he'll need help learning to relax, play, and explore. A foster home noted that he guarded his food, so he'd do best with a quiet routine and his own space at mealtimes. The basics - Age: About 1 to 2 years - Sex: Male, neutered - Breed: Merle Great Dane - Weight: About 60 pounds - Vetted: Yes - Leash manners: Excellent - Other animals: Doesn't seem to mind them - Food: Has guarded his food, so feed him separately - Temperament: Very fearful, gentle His perfect home: a patient, experienced adopter with a calm household, who understands fearful dogs and is happy to move at Ghost's pace. A confident, easygoing resident dog could help him, and a fenced yard would be a plus. If you've loved a shy dog before, Ghost needs you. Apply to meet him today!

Story
URGENT: Great Dane Needs Immediate Placement! PRIOR TO NOVEMBER FIRST Meet Tink, a beautiful 1½-year-old harlequin Great Dane whose owner sadly passed away. We have been caring for her temporarily, but she needs a new home immediately. Tink is healthy, affectionate, playful, and has beautiful conformation. She is crate trained, has basic obedience, walks nicely on a leash, has good recall, and travels well in the car. Tink thrived in an urban apartment lifestyle. Ideal home: Experienced large-breed owner who can provide consistency and structure. AKC parentage documented, paperwork available. Comes with her XXL Sky Kennel. Tink’s owner was a lifelong Dane owner, absolutely loved this dog. There’s no abuse/neglect in her history. Please message me if interested, and please share!

Story
Approx DOB January 2025. We adopted Smokey 6/13/2026, after she had spent six weeks with her breeders mom, as her original family could no longer handle her. She's very sweet, sometimes goofy, and mostly a couch potato. She does have bursts energy, and needs a good walk or two a day, or a few sessions playing in the backyard. We have a 5 YO Dane female, altered, and a 4 YO Dane male, unaltered; we've had them both since 8 weeks. They got along well for 7 weeks, until Smokey had issue w/our girl - big fight. Now both won't have anything to do with her; we have to keep them separated 24/7, which isn't good for anyone in the house. She bonded with me (mom) instantly. Think part of the aggression toward our girl was resource guarding me, and trying to become the dominant one. She became more comfortable with us over the weeks (good!) - more tail wagging, better appetite; perhaps trying to solidify her position here. She'll make a WONDERFUL only dog.
