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!

Great Dane Australian Cattle Dog

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Banjo was just a tiny little fella when his litter was dropped off to one of our dedicated fosters. It was quickly clear that these puppies were overrun with worms and unfortunately Banjo was the only one to survive.. Banjo is about 90% blind and has epilepsy (which is well managed) so he needs a special family that will understand his medical needs and be a calm leader when he experiences seizures. He has come a long way and we know that there is a family out there that can see passed his special needs and love him all the same. He does require medication for his seizures twice a day at meal times. Banjo is good with everyone! Including kids. He also loves being with other dogs and is neutral toward cats in his foster home. He is still very young so he does need to be crated when left alone but he has a great foundation for crating thanks to his foster. Banjo rides well in the car and is excellent for bath time. He LOVES food and thinks toys are less exciting. But dont worry his favorite games involve interacting with his people. Banjo is currently in PA but he can be transported to an approved adopter. This special boy needs a special family!

Story
Meet Rave! 🐾 Rave is a beautiful 65-pound girl with a playful spirit and a heart full of love. We think she may have some Mastiff and Great Dane in her family tree, giving her both a striking appearance and a loyal personality. Rave loves toys, enjoys playing fetch, is leash-trained, and rides well in the car. She's happiest spending time with her people and being part of everyday life. Rave can be selective with other dogs, and a securely fenced yard or room to run and play would be a big plus. If you're looking for a devoted companion, adventure buddy, and best friend all in one, Rave may be your perfect match. ❤️ Ready to meet Rave? Apply today!

Story
Leonidas is currently at our Everyday Adoption Center! Come visit him anytime during open hours! This sweet pup is neutered and fully healthy! He's up to date on vaccines and microchipped! Leonidas is heartworm positive and on activity restriction. He is undergoing treatment at Ellis Clinic at no charge to their adopter. Heartworm is a treatable disease that most dogs make a full recovery from. You can learn more about heartworm treatment on our resource page: https://www.onetail.org/heartworm/ 💧: Working on Housebreaking: Making progress with a consistent schedule and positive reinforcement. Crate Training: Prefers to be free-roam to a doggy-proofed area as opposed to a crate. Has done well overnight and during the day in his room. 🚶: Leash walking: Has good leash manners but may occasionally pull or get distracted. 🐶: Dog-friendly: Enjoys the company of other dogs and has done well with a variety of canine friends. 😺: Cat-friendly: He has seen cats while on leash, and gotten close enough to sniff, and is interested, but has not tried to chase or bark at them. Slow intro needed if adopted into a home with a cat. 🧒 Kid-friendly: Leonidas has met kids of all ages for short periods and done well! Leonidas is half dog, half bear! This sweet boy loves people, and makes you feel like his favorite person in the world effortlessly. When you walk in the room he will gently jump up to give you a hug, then lay down and roll over to request belly rubs. His eyes are so expressive, and light up when he's excited, or give a real good side eye when you tell him he can't have your snacks. He likes to try to get in your lap for cuddles (maybe he's part weighted blanket as well). He knows sit very well and is working on his down. Leonidas is a big baby who would love to be a part of your home! This pet has not been DNA tested, we are unsure of their actual breed makeup, but these are the breeds we think they look like! 💰 Leonidas's adoption fee is $300, and this sweet pup can't wait to meet you! 🩷 Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and we'll be in touch to schedule a meeting: https://www.onetail.org/apply-to-adopt/.
