Story
Hi, I’m Lani and I’m ready to find my forever home. Dog’s Name: Lani Location: Lake In The Hills, IL Date of Birth: 6/1/2021 Gender: Female Breed: Great Dane Color: Tan Pint Merle Dog's Weight: 117 Gets along with: Dogs?: All dogs, but needs slow introduction. Cats?: Yes Kids?: Yes Training: Leash trained: Walks loose on leash Crate/Kennel:  Goes into crate/kennel on command Potty trained: Indicates a need to potty and doesn’t have indoor accidents Car:  Rides Well in car Meet Lani Lani has the sweetest soul and has truly blossomed in her foster home. She’s come out of her shell and is now showing her silly, playful personality, complete with happy moments that make you smile every day. Lani is eager to please her people and forms deep, meaningful bonds with those she trusts. She’s still adjusting to free-roaming in a home, and some everyday things — like the dishwasher or a long hallway — can catch her off guard. But with each day, her confidence grows, and she continues to amaze everyone with how far she’s come. Slow and steady is Lani’s way, and she’s absolutely thriving. Lani’s forever family will be patient, gentle, and understanding, knowing that the best things take time. In return, she gives the most beautiful reward: unconditional love. She would do well as the only dog or with a calm male dog companion. Lani is also great with kids and enjoys being part of a loving family. She can comfortably handle a full workday in her crate — and she loves it! A crate is a must for her comfort and security (she’ll need a big one — 54” please!). Lani may still be building confidence, but in the right home, she will continue to shine and become the devoted companion she’s meant to be.

Story
Hi, I'm Sir Apollo and I'm ready to find my forever home. Dog’s Name: Sir Apollo Location: Chicago, IL Date of Birth: 10/01/2020 Gender: Male Breed: Great Dane Color: Blue Brindle Dog's Weight: 100 Gets along with: Dogs?: No Cats?:  No Kids?:  Yes- Older kids (10+)  Meet Sir Apollo – The Gentle Soul Finding His Courage Sir Apollo is a sweet, handsome boy who’s looking for a calm, loving home to help him continue blossoming into the confident dog he’s meant to be. Though shy and timid at first, it’s clear that Apollo wants to be brave—he’s already showing more confidence each day! With patience and reassurance, you’ll quickly see his warm, affectionate side shine through. Once you’ve earned your spot in his trusted “circle,” you’ll be greeted with joyful tail wags, excited spins, and plenty of cuddles. Apollo enjoys hiking through forest preserves, playing fetch, and carrying around his toys—but his favorite part of any day is coming home to a peaceful environment where he can relax and recharge with a happy sigh in his cozy bed. Apollo can get anxious in busy or unfamiliar situations so meeting new people one-on-one is a must.  He does take comfort in his person’s calm, confident guidance. He can be selective with other dogs and shows some resource guarding around food or toys, so slow introductions are essential. On walks, he’s generally non-reactive—unless another dog reacts first—but he’s very food-motivated and can be redirected with gentle, consistent training. Sir Apollo is searching for a quiet, stable environment with one or two adults or a family with older, calm children. He would thrive as an only dog but could potentially do well with a laid-back canine companion after slow introductions. A fenced yard would be wonderful for zoomies and fetch, though not required—he loves his neighborhood walks and is a great car rider for adventures. Apollo’s perfect match is someone patient, understanding, and confident.  Someone who can offer him the steady reassurance he needs to continue growing into the happy, secure boy he’s becoming.  If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will reward your love with devotion and gentle affection, Sir Apollo may just be your perfect match.

Hi, I’m Kingston.  I’m not quite ready to be adopted, but you can come back here occasionally to check my progress and find out when to submit an application. Dog’s Name: Kingston Location:  Bridgeport, IL Date of Birth: 10/28/2025 Gender: Male Breed: Great Dane Nix Color: Black Dog's Weight: 43 Gets along with: Dogs?: All Dogs  Cats?:  Needs slow introduction to cats Kids?: Have not tested withi kids Training: Leash trained: Walks loose on leash Crate Trained:  Goes into crate/kennel on command Knows sit Meet Kingston Kingston is a sweet, affectionate boy with a big heart and an even bigger love for his people. He enjoys playing with toys, going for walks, soaking up cuddles, and (of course!) mealtime. Food is definitely one of his favorite things — and it makes training fun and rewarding! This smart guy is already learning his manners. He knows how to sit on command, is getting the hang of “kennel,” and walks nicely on a leash. Kingston enjoys a good wrestling match with his brother, but at the end of the day, his primary love is being close to his humans. He thrives on attention and connection and will happily trade playtime for snuggle time. Kingston is super easygoing and adaptable. He will fit beautifully into almost any home environment, whether that’s a first-time giant breed owner or a seasoned pro. His calm, affectionate nature makes him a wonderful candidate for someone new to giant breeds, especially a family committed to continued training and structure. He does not require another dog in the home but will likely enjoy a playful canine companion. A fenced yard is a bonus for playtime so he can safely burn off his puppy energy.   Most importantly, Kingston needs a family who will give him plenty of love, attention, and time. If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly, smart companion who will adore you endlessly, Kingston may just be your perfect match.

Hi, I’m Meadow and I am ready to find my forever home! Dog’s Name: Meadow Location: Mokena, Il Date of Birth: 09/27/2022 (approximately) Gender: Female Breed: Great Dane Color: Harlequin Dog's Weight: 92 Gets along with: Dogs?: Yes, with a very slow and thoughtful introduction Cats?: Yes Kids?: Yes Meet Meadow Meadow is a loving, gentle soul who is looking for the calm, quiet home she truly deserves. She was returned by her adopter through no fault of her own—city life, with its bright lights and constant noise, was simply too overwhelming for this laid-back girl. Meadow is much better suited for a peaceful suburban setting where she can relax and feel safe. Since arriving in her foster home, Meadow has been settling in beautifully. She loves children and has formed a particularly sweet bond with her youngest human foster sister and clearly enjoys gentle companionship and affection. Meadow is calm, affectionate, and happiest when she’s near her people soaking up attention and cuddles. Meadow's previous owner said she got along beautifully with dogs at doggie daycare, but has met the resident dogs in her foster home with mixed reactions. She will thrive as the only pet in her forever home, where she can soak up all the love and attention she deserves. In a multi-dog household, she would do best with a calm, older dog who has a laid-back personality and respects her space. Puppies are not a good match for Meadow, as their high energy and playful nature would be overwhelming for her. This sweet girl does not require an adopter with giant breed experience—just a family willing to invest time, patience, and love. Meadow is eager to please and will thrive with gentle guidance and consistent training. She does have a few quirks worth noting: Meadow may counter or table surf (though she’s polite and doesn’t take anything!), and if given the opportunity, she may try to bolt out the door, so a secure home and mindful handling are important. Meadow is ready to blossom in a quiet, loving home where she can feel safe, cherished, and understood. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion with a heart full of love, Meadow may be the perfect match for you. Until the profile is removed from the public’s view, this dog is considered available for adoption.
