Great Dane puppies and dogs in Lockport, Illinois

Hello Everyone, My name is Arthur and I’m a 7 mo old adorable Great Dane puppy who is as sweet as can be. I am looking for my happily ever after. I was confiscated due to poor living conditions and I’m now enjoying life with my foster family as I wait for my forever family. Investing your time and love into me will be so worth it!! I am an absolute sweetheart. I’m a bit shy at first but we are working on that. I am a sweet, loving and smart lil boy who just wants a loving family. I will need a little time, confidence building, love and patience adjusting to my new home. I am good with children and other animals. Please add a lotta unconditional love, sloppy kisses, tail wags and endless happiness to your family and contact jbrescuerangers@yahoo.com for an adoption application and bring me home. I will come with the works (neutered, up to date on everything, micro chipped, fecal, heart worm tested, monthly heartworm, flea and tick prevented, a free vet visit and medical insurance). What more could a new family ask for? Love and Kisses, Arthur

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!

Hi, I’m Paprika and I’m ready to find my forever home!  Dog’s Name: Paprika Location: New Smyrna Beach, FL Date of Birth: 1/20/2020 Gender: Female Breed: Great Dane Color: Black Dog's Weight: 149 Adoption Fee: Fully Sponsored! Gets along with: Dogs?: Paprika is dog selective and has made excellent progress learning to remain calm and disengage around other dogs with guidance. She would do best as an only dog or with very thoughtful, slow introductions to a calm, well-matched dog under experienced supervision. Cats?:  Paprika has shown calm curiosity around safely contained cats and has been able to disengage appropriately. She has not been evaluated with free-roaming cats, so any introductions would need to be slow, structured, and carefully supervised. Kids?:  An adult home or one with older, respectful teenagers would be the best fit for Paprika. 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 the car Meet Paprika Paprika is a beautiful 149-pound Great Dane with a gentle heart, a curious mind, and—according to her foster—a wonderful sense of humor. Paprika is a sensitive, intelligent, and affectionate Great Dane who is learning to navigate the world with growing confidence. This thoughtful girl likes to take in the world before jumping into something new. Give Paprika a moment to observe, decide everything is okay, and look to her person for guidance, and you'll begin to see the affectionate, deeply loyal companion hiding behind those soulful Great Dane eyes. Paprika thrives in a calm, structured environment where routines are predictable and expectations are clear, helping her feel comfortable and confident in her surroundings.  And Paprika has been blossoming. In foster care, she has made tremendous progress building her confidence. She now greets familiar visitors with increasing ease, checks in with her handler when she is unsure, and is learning that new people and experiences can be safe. She loves treats, responds beautifully to praise, and genuinely wants to make good choices. Paprika responds well to cues like “let’s go” and “touch”. While she can be sensitive to sudden movements, close proximity, or new situations, she is learning to recover more quickly with calm, consistent guidance and reassurance. Paprika is dog-selective and still in training. She can be reactive (barking or lunging) when dogs are too close or if she is surprised, but she is showing steady improvement. At a distance, she is able to observe calmly, disengage, and respond to cues. She is not currently appropriate for direct dog interactions, but she is learning to stay regulated and composed around other dogs. Paprika enjoys her daily walks, exploring her dog run, and putting that giant Dane nose to work investigating every interesting scent she can find. She is a world-class sniffer who seems to believe every smell deserves proper research. At home, Paprika loves being close to her people. After a walk or a little training, she is happy to settle onto her bed, relax, and enjoy a quiet evening with her family. She forms deep bonds with the people she trusts and truly wants to be part of everyday life. Paprika may occasionally alert her people when she notices something new—she takes her neighborhood observation duties seriously—but she has made remarkable progress. Instead of rushing to investigate, she is learning to stay in place, look to her handler, and recover more quickly when something catches her attention. Her ideal home is calm, structured, and predictable. Paprika thrives when expectations are clear, routines are consistent, and positive reinforcement is part of everyday life. She would love someone who enjoys neighborhood walks, quiet time in the yard, and evenings relaxing together. Paprika would do best as an only dog or with very thoughtful introductions to a calm, well-matched canine companion. An adult home or one with older, respectful teenagers would be her best fit. Paprika isn't looking for someone to "fix" her. She has already done so much of the hard work of learning to trust, build confidence, and navigate the world differently. She's looking for someone who will see the dog she has become, celebrate how far she has come, and continue showing her that she is safe. In return, Paprika will give you something incredibly special—a deep, loyal bond with a gentle giant who wants nothing more than to be close to her person and part of the family. If you're looking for an intelligent, affectionate, soulful Great Dane and don't mind sharing your life with a 149-pound professional sniffer and neighborhood observer, Paprika may be waiting for you.

Hi, I’m Snoop and I’m ready to find my forever home! • Dog’s Name: Snoop• Location: Wilmington, IL• Date of Birth: 7/1/25• Gender: Male• Breed: Great Dane• Color: Harlequin• Dog's Weight: 88 (currently underweight but gaining nicely) Gets along with:• Dogs?: Dog friendly with proper introductions. Snoop enjoys playful interactions with other dogs. Due to his large size and enthusiastic play style, he would do best with a confident dog companion who enjoys big-dog play. Slow introductions recommended.• Cats?: No cats recommended. Snoop has a high chase drive and would do best in a cat-free home.• Kids?: Older/larger children recommended due to his size and playful Dane energy. Training: • Leash Trained: Working on leash skills and continued training• Crate Trained: Has done well seeing another dog through a crate; additional crate details unknown• Potty Trained: Indicates a need to potty and doesn’t have indoor accidents• Car: Loves car rides! A seatbelt leash or barrier is recommended because this big guy likes being close to his people and may try to help navigate from the front seat. Meet Snoop! Snoop is a stunning Great Dane with a giant heart and a personality just as big as he is! Snoop is a sweet, affectionate boy who loves being with his people. He has met many new friends and has won them over with his friendly greetings, loving personality, and Dane-sized kisses. He is the kind of dog who bonds closely with his humans and enjoys being part of the family. This handsome guy has that classic Great Dane charm — goofy, loving, playful, and sometimes unaware of just how big he really is! Snoop approaches life with enthusiasm and would thrive with a family who understands giant breeds and can continue helping him learn his manners. Snoop is very food motivated (which makes training much easier!) and is already catching on quickly to commands like “sit.” He is eager to please and will benefit from a family that provides consistency, structure, and positive guidance. When it comes to dog friends, Snoop enjoys meeting other dogs but brings a lot of playful energy. He would do best with a confident canine companion who appreciates an enthusiastic playmate. Smaller or timid dogs may find his giant-sized excitement a little overwhelming. Snoop is not recommended for a home with cats, as they are just a little too exciting for him. After recovering from his recent medical care, Snoop is feeling better, gaining weight, and getting ready for his fresh start. Now he just needs the right family to help him become the amazing companion he is meant to be. If you love Great Danes and are looking for a goofy, affectionate, oversized best friend with so much love to give… Snoop might just be your guy.

Hi, I’m Bam Bam and I’m ready to find my forever home!  Dog’s Name: Bam Bam Location: Grand Rapids, MI Date of Birth: 6/1/2023 Gender: Male  Breed: Great Dane Color: Tan Dog's Weight: 140 Gets along with: Gets along with:*Dogs: Yes - BamBam is wonderfully dog friendly and genuinely enjoys the company of other dogs. He recently spent a holiday weekend with a German Shepherd and another Great Dane and loved being part of the pack. Puppies and very small dogs can make him a little unsure at first, but with time and gentle introductions, he warms up.*Cats: Yes - BamBam has spent time around cats and handled it beautifully. He showed calm curiosity and then basically decided they weren't worth the energy and went about his day. Slow introductions are always recommended.*Kids: Yes - older children may be the best fit due to BamBam's size and uncertainty around very young children. Training: • Leash Trained – walks loose leash• Potty Trained – indicates a need to potty and doesn't have indoor accidents• Car – rides well in the car and LOVES car rides• Free Roam – excellent when home alone• House Manners – calm and respectful in the home with no counter surfing Meet Bam Bam BamBam is 140 pounds of pure gentle giant sweetness — majestic, mellow, tender-hearted, and proving more every day just how easy he is to love. At home, BamBam is the kind of dog many giant breed families dream about. He is calm, respectful, potty trained, and trustworthy enough to free roam when left alone. No counter surfing. No household chaos. When bedtime rolls around, this big boy happily settles into his giant dog bed at the end of his foster's bed and calls it a night. BamBam enjoys seeing the world, whether he's calmly walking through the city, watching the neighborhood from his favorite porch perch, or hopping into the car for an adventure. He LOVES car rides and is always ready to see where the road takes him. And those squirrels on walks? They get a polite "leave it." BamBam listens well and continues to build his obedience skills. This sweet boy is great with people, kids, and other dogs. BamBam has also shown that his gentle personality extends to feline friends. BamBam has also impressed his foster with his calm behavior around cats. After spending time with two feline friends, he showed a little respectful curiosity and then mostly ignored them and carried on with his day. For a 140-pound roommate, that's a pretty impressive endorsement from the cats! He truly believes everyone on the sidewalk is there to meet him, and he will happily stop and wag until he gets the attention he knows he deserves.  One of BamBam's biggest joys is canine companionship. He recently spent a holiday weekend with a German Shepherd and another Great Dane and settled right into the pack, loving every minute of the company. He is social, respectful, and seems to relax into his very best self when he has a confident dog buddy nearby. BamBam is potty trained, leash trained, and an excellent passenger for adventures. He LOVES car rides and hops right in, ready to go wherever life takes him. He does not currently know formal obedience commands like sit or stay, but he is learning and does respond well to helpful cues like “leave it.” An adult dog training class would be a great way to continue building his skills and confidence. BamBam is still working on formal obedience skills like sit and stay. He can be a thoughtful, independent Great Dane who occasionally likes to consider whether your idea was also his idea. An adult dog training class would be a wonderful way for his forever family to continue building his skills and strengthen their bond.  BamBam would be a great match even for a first-time giant breed owner. His dream home? BamBam would absolutely love a canine companion and room to roam. A yard, acreage, or space where he can stretch those very long legs and quietly take in the world would be wonderful. He has shown that he can adapt beautifully to city life, but this big, observant boy would truly flourish with a little extra space and a dog friend by his side. BamBam is truly a special soul wrapped in a giant dog body. If you are looking for a loyal shadow, porch buddy, road trip partner, and oversized best friend, BamBam may be the gentle giant you have been waiting for.
