Story
Hello good people, my name is Easton! I am a 3.5 months old Great Dane mix and I currently weigh about 27 pounds. I'm sure I'll grow to be a much bigger pup as an adult! I'm a big fan of playing my heart out, followed by a solid nap, and then some more playing. I absolutely love comfy blankets, stuffies, and the company of another dog! I am happiest with my people and especially love to snooze near you. I promise I'll be your loyal shadow. What can I say? I love attention! My foster family has started working with me on puppy training, and I just hope my future family will be continue teaching me the ropes while letting me their bestie for the rest of my days. If you're looking for your heart dog, I'm up for the gig! My adoption fee is $600, with an optional gastropexy contract for an additional $150

Story
Lennon is just big lovebug! Snuggling up near her people is her favorite thing. She loves her human foster siblings and likes to be with them for all the activities. Like a typical Great Dane, she is a little nervous meeting new people, but she leans in for attention quickly! She’s pretty indifferent to other dogs but people are her jam. She is looking for a family who will teach her all the things she missed out on in her first three years of life. Someone who is home a lot and ready to train a 100+ pound baby would be ideal! She’s already making progress with potty training, and she loves to sniff around. She has even started playing with toys! Lennon wants nothing more than a comfy bed, a few belly rubs, and a family to call her own for the rest of her days! Let us know if you are it! Lennon's adoption fee is $750, which includes the price of gastropexy

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.

Story
Mr Loyal! That is what describes this boy in one word. Romo was once owned by someone in Aruba who then moved to the Netherlands. They gave him to some friends that let him roam the streets. We found him strolling along at a bus stop with a huge hematoma on his ear. He jumped right in the car and we took him to the vet. He had surgery and has now recovered from it. We were asked to take him with us to the US as the new owners didn't have the means to take care of him. Romo is an extremely loyal dog, calm and quiet and at the same time friendly with people and dogs. He's is extremely well mannered. Call us to hear about him and learn why we think he is the most loyal dog. His previous owner says he is 4 years old ( the vet says 5) and if you look on our Facebook page you will see all his posts about him. Oh and yes he loves riding in the car with you. He is house broken, does not like the cage to much, but that's ok. He doesn't get himself in trouble in the house. This is a great big dog! He mostly looks like a Great Daner, but could also have some Labrador in it. He is not a drooler like the Danes are. He likes other dogs but will also do well when being just with his special person. We would like to adopt him out within 40 miles of Elgin. His adoption fee is $350 to help us with the cost for his plane ride and the associated vet expenses.
