Great Dane puppies and dogs in North Aurora, Illinois

Lolly is a 3 or 4 month old Giant Breed puppy. She has reached 37 pounds and is on track to be between 80 to 100 pounds. We are not sure if she is a Great Dane Mix or a Rhodesian Ridgeback. She gets along with her foster dog friends and ignores cats. She is a very very happy go lucky pup. She wiggles and does a happy dance when she sees people. She likes watching TV especially if there are other animals on it. Lolly will need to be taught leash etiquette and practice 4 on the floor to prepare her for life as a big dog! Great danes and Ridgebacks are very loving and loyal breeds. They eat a lot of food; generally 4 to 5 cups of dog food a day. They reach full size around 18 to 24 months. If you would like to meet this dog, please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $300. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive and flea/tick preventive - deworming

Hi, I'm Scooter and I'm ready to find my forever home! Dog's Name: ScooterLocation: Plano, ILDate of Birth: 8/1/2023Gender: MaleBreed: Great DaneColor: BrindleDog's Weight: 130 lbs Gets along with:Dogs?: Yes! Scooter enjoys other dogs with slow introductions and has started initiating play. Because he doesn't always realize how big he is, larger canine companions are the best fit.Cats?: Unknown.Kids?: Older children recommended. Scooter does well with respectful older kids after proper introductions, but a home without toddlers or crawling children is recommended. Training: Leash Trained: Walks nicely on a loose leash Crate Trained: Yes Potty Trained: Yes Car: Rides well in the car Commands: Knows basic commands and responds well to direct, consistent guidance Meet Scooter Scooter is a big-hearted Great Dane who has discovered that life is a whole lot less stressful when the world isn't moving a hundred miles an hour. Since arriving in foster care, Scooter has shown just how much environment matters. Away from the constant stimulation of busy city life, this handsome brindle boy has learned to relax, settle into a routine, and simply enjoy being a dog. Scooter is affectionate, playful, and happiest when he's spending time with his people. He loves interactive toys, enjoys learning, and is always ready to join in whatever his family is doing. Once he trusts you, his goofy, happy-go-lucky personality really shines. One of Scooter's biggest successes has been with other dogs. He's done wonderfully with slow introductions and has even started initiating play! He still doesn't quite understand that he's a 130-pound Great Dane, so larger dog friends who enjoy a playful companion would be his ideal match. Scooter walks well on a loose leash, rides nicely in the car, is fully potty trained, and settles comfortably in his crate. He knows his basic commands and responds very well to clear, direct communication. His foster believes many of Scooter's previous struggles were less about unwillingness and more about inconsistent handling. With confident leadership, Scooter is eager to please and learns quickly. Scooter would thrive in a quieter suburban or rural home where he isn't constantly surrounded by the sights and sounds of a busy city. His foster has noticed that removing that daily overstimulation has made a tremendous difference in his ability to relax and enjoy life. Because of his history, Scooter's ideal home will have older children rather than toddlers. He has done well meeting older kids when introductions are thoughtful, but a home without very young children is the safest fit. Like many Great Danes, Scooter occasionally believes kitchen counters were designed for snack storage, so future adopters will want to keep tempting treats out of reach! He also has a sensitive stomach and does best when his food stays consistent, without frequent changes or lots of new treats. Scooter isn't looking for perfection. He's looking for someone who understands that the right environment, patient leadership, and a little consistency can help an already wonderful dog truly thrive. If you're searching for a loyal companion, a playful giant, and a best friend who simply wants to be part of the family, Scooter just might be waiting for you.

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.
