Story
Hi, I’m Scarlett and I’m new to the rescue. I am currently decompressing and getting used to my foster family. Check back as my foster family learns more about me! Dog’s Name: Scarlett Location: Brighton, IL. Date of Birth: 06/24/2025 Gender: Female Breed: Great Dane Color: Harlequin Dog's Weight: 95 Gets along with: Dogs?: All Dogs  Cats?:  Unknown Kids?: All kids Training: Car: Rides will in the car Meet Scarlett Scarlett is the sweetest combination of puppy love and puppy play — there truly is no in-between with this girl! It’s either snuggled up on the couch soaking in all the affection she can get, or full-speed zoomies in the yard with her new best friend. She adores her people and bonds quickly, but she’s just as happy romping around and turning playtime into her own personal WWE match. Scarlett would thrive in a home with another large, playful dog. She has absolutely no idea she’s a “big booty Judy” and plays with joyful enthusiasm, so a confident canine companion who can match her energy is a must. A fenced yard would be ideal so she can safely burn off that puppy energy and enjoy her daily zoom sessions. Her perfect adopter will appreciate giant breed antics — including the occasional wet floors after a drink, slobbery walls, and a couch that sometimes doubles as a wrestling ring. If you’re hoping to keep everything spotless, Scarlett may not be your girl! Because she’s still very much a puppy at heart (and height!), Scarlett will benefit greatly from continued basic obedience training. She’s already realized that counters and tables are eye-level and she can get to the “goodies,” so guidance and consistency will help her channel her smarts in the right direction. Scarlett will do well with an experienced giant breed owner or a first-time giant owner who is prepared for the size, strength, and joyful chaos that comes with loving a big dog. In return, she’ll give you endless laughter, oversized cuddles, and a best friend for life. Until the profile is removed from the public’s view, this dog is considered available for adoption.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. **If you are interested in being considered for this dog, please be sure to complete an application directly on our website - not through a 3rd party service.**   Meet Frankie  At 140 pounds, Frankie is basically a small horse who wishes he was a lap dog. This lovable adult (believed to be approximately 4 years old) Great Dane mix spends his days proudly tossing around  his beloved stuffy toys, heading out for walks, playing with other dogs, and melting into puddles for neck scratches. Frankie may only have “two brain cells,” and they occasionally bump into each other, but both are fully committed to loving his people with his whole oversized heart. Underneath the goofball energy is a sensitive soul who bonds deeply and feels big feelings in his big body. He’ll need a calm, patient adopter who can offer reassurance and gentle guidance. In return, you’ll get 140 pounds of loyalty, laughter, and a best friend who will absolutely lean his entire weight on you at every opportunity. Frankie will need a yard and will do best with sturdy children.   If you’re ready for a sweet, silly gentle giant, Frankie is your guy.  Frankie’s adoption fee is $350.  This includes age appropriate vaccines, completed wellness visit, completed neuter and microchip   *HWMAR presents the information in these bios based on our foster observations and any information presented to us regarding prior living conditions, breed specifications.
