Story
Merrick - Great Dane Age: 1 year Good with: Cats: yes Dogs: yes, preferred Kids: yes Location: Brewerton. NY Weight: 136 Merrick is true to his breed a gentle giant He is all love. He was a heart on his chest inside and out He is good with other dogs, cats, kids, ect… working on training, he goes potty outside.  Everything is new for him due to being rescued from a breeding situation, so we are doing a lot of training at this point.. However, he is a quick learner! He loves being around his “pack”. The ideal home for Merrick would have someone who is home most of the time, and is committed to continuing his training. While not required, Merrick would probably do best in a home with another dog to help teach him dog behaviors and keep him company.   Until the profile is removed from the public’s view, the dog is considered available for adoption.  Meet and greets can be scheduled with approved adopters. Transportation from the foster home to the adopter is the responsibility of the adopter to coordinate. Just Giants does not adopt outside of the continental US. To apply to adopt from Just Giants Rescue, you can visit https://justgiants.org/adopt/ to fill out an application. All dogs adopted from Just Giants Rescue are up to date on shots, microchipped, and spayed or neutered. Some exceptions may apply.

Bella - Female Great Dane Age: 2 years Good with: Cats: Unknown Dogs: Yes Kids: Yes Location: Fort Worth, TX Weight: 105 lbs Bella is as sweet as honey. She is a velcro dog but can zoom with the best of them. She has been very respectful to the young and senior dogs in her foster home. She will do well in any home. She does not have awareness of her size so the littles will have to be watched because when excited she can whip that tail around. The perfect adopter will keep her actively engaged. She is not a couch potato. She loves to run and play and is HIGH energy. She knows sit, shake, bed time, crate.  Until the profile is removed from the public’s view, the dog is considered available for adoption.  Meet and greets can be scheduled with approved adopters.

Story
This is Trippel! A stunning, handsome, happy, regal, friendly, tall drink of water. He weighs in at 132 lbs, all muscle and charm. Trippel was born in October of 2020 so he’s a little over 3 ½ now. He has a sleek black coat and loves to be brushed. Trippel travels well in an SUV, is housebroken and crate trained. He loves, loves, loves people of all ages. But due to his size and exuberance, we will not adopt him to a home with children under the age of 10. He lived with a cat previously and is very dog friendly. He would do well as an only dog but also would do well with other dog friendly dogs. We are requiring an above ground, fully fenced in yard. He loves going on walks and does very well on a gentle leader. Trippel is very food motivated and will take food off counters. His adoptive family must be ok making sure all food is put away securely. He’s a smart boy and knows when things are left out and assumes they were left out for him. Trippel has a very loud bark and when inside the home, he will let you know when someone is there. He’s an incredible boy that will follow you around, sleep at your feet on a dog bed or on the couch next to you. He’d love to sleep in bed with you but is also happy on a dog bed next to your bed. Local adoptions only. We do not adopt out of the state of Illinois. Trippel is being fostered in a private home. Appointments to meet him will be set up for approved adopters only. His adoption fee is $500 which includes all age appropriate vaccines. He is neutered, microchipped and Heartworm negative. He has also been kept on both flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. Please visit our website and fill out an application if you are interested. http://newstartdogrescue.org

Story
Hello world, my name is Agatha! I am a 8 month old Great Dane girlie and I'm doing my best to learn how to be a dog over here in my foster home. So far, so good! I like the other dogs and I will need a dog friend in my forever home who can keep showing me how to live the good life! I think I'd probably be fine with cats, too. I like the older kids I've met and I think I'd also like little ones! I am working on my puppy training but my forever family will need to keep working with me since my foster fam says I don't have "manners" yet, whatever those are. I am happy to report that I'm doing well in my crate, and I'm working on potty training but I need frequent trips outside. I'm getting the hang of it though, I promise! Though I can be timid, once I get to know you, I am a total love bug. I am trusting of my human friends and I like to give kisses and cuddles. I will follow you everywhere and lay my head on you after you've had a long day. If you're looking for a lovable lanky lady, I am ready to find my future family and I'd be thrilled to meet you! My adoption fee is $800 - This includes Gastropexy Surgery when I'm of age!

Story
FAST FACTS:*2 Years Old - 120 Pound*Very Loyal, Affectionate, Smart*Low/Medium Energy*Kid Friendly*Dog Friendly - Would Love a Doggie Companion*Potty and Crate Trained*Training Required*Fenced Yard PreferredBIO:Hi there! My name is Olivea and I am an aspiring lap dog in a veeeeeery large body! But my body wasn't always this healthy 120-pound figure you see today; you see, I was unloved and severely malnourished when rescued (I only weighed about 40 pounds, can you even believe it?!) but thanks to my devoted, attentive foster momma I have gained weight and felt love for the first time in my life. Let me tell you how much I enjoy being a beloved family member: I adore people of all ages (including the toddlers I've met) and am very happy to have a doggie pal to keep me company. I would thrive in a family with kids and other dogs - I adore the comfort of family. Even though I am extra large, I make great attempts and trying to fit on your lap for snuggles, I hope you don't mind! And my tail never stops wagging when I have two- and four-legged companions to love! My foster momma jokingly calls my tail its own power source, so I might accidentally knock very tiny children or potted plants over when I am especially happy, but otherwise I have excellent household manners and am never purposefully destructive. I am already potty and crate trained, though my foster momma says she doesn't need to crate me when she leaves the house because I enjoy lounging in my bed or on the couch until she returns (this life of luxury thing is amazing!) My dream home will include a big family and another dog or two, a fenced yard so I can play with my pals and lounge in the sun. I am pretty low energy overall and do not need a lot of exercise, so an occasional walk would be fine but I am not going to be your marathon training buddy haha! I could use some extra work on my leash walking skills; I was likely previously chained up in my prior life so I am extra alert of my surroundings on walks and can be protective of the other dog in my foster home when we are strolling the neighborhood. Fetching Tails requires adopters of young dogs like me to sign us up for training classes, and I am a quick learner (especially when treats are involved - I am very food motivated!) so I think we will have a great time learning new skills together and seeing how great a family pet I can be! Will you give me the luxurious home life and special place in your heart as your beloved companion? Then hurry up and fill out an adoption application today!Love,OliveaIf you'd like to adopt this dog, please get started by filling out a complete application (incomplete submissions cannot be sent.) Please note that while we take time to learn as much as we can about each dog in our care as possible, our bios are written from current observations. Though we do our best to share as much information as possible about each dog we care for, we are unable to make any guarantees on the future health or temperament of your adopted dog. Most dogs in our care come with unknown pre-rescue history, and information pertaining to breed and age are often educated guesses.

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Genny! This 2-year-old Great Dane mix has been through so much in her short life. Found abandoned in a forest preserve with her 5 puppies, Genny was left to fend for herself and her family. It took rescuers days to trap her as she was terrified of people and had clearly been mistreated. Genny's ears were recently cropped before being dumped and the poor girl had a bad limp. After being trapped, she immediately went to the ER for her leg. She was covered in hundreds of ticks and her leg was beyond repair. Genny ultimately had her leg amputated, and she's still getting used to getting around on 3 legs. She spent some time in foster where she got used to having a leash on her and meeting safe people who won't hurt her anymore. Genny will need an extremely patient and quiet home with no children and a fully fenced, secure yard. Genny has done great with other dogs; she just needs the right people to take a chance on her!

Story
A few years ago, this sweet girl was found dumped along the fence of our rescue! She was skin and bones and needed immediate help, so we named her MayDay. Our best guess is she around 6 or 7 years old and a Great Dane/ Staffshire terrier mix. She is very gentle, loves people, and really enjoys car rides. Mayday gets along with males, but is not very playful with other dogs. She would do best as the only fur baby in the home. Since she has been a kennel dog her whole life, MayDay is not pot trained so she will need a family who understands that. This dear girl would love a chance to live out her days in the comfort of a home with a family who will love her! If you want to give MayDay that chance, find us at https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/ to fill out an application or on facebook (tails of the forgotten paws)

Please check back to learn more about me once I settle into my foster home.  Stitch gets Along With:Dogs?: All Dogs Needs a slow introduction to other dogsCats?: UnknownKids?: All Kids Stitch is the sweetest most gentle boy. He absolutely adores kids and for the first few days here he would only come out of his crate or car for the kids. He lived his life outside on a chain but he’s loving life of an inside boy! He likes his crate and is his safe place. He is now comfortable enough that he's asking for pets and love, Stitch will nudge you to keep petting!!His skin is still healing from life outside and being infested with fleas, he is also recovering from his neuter and having a tumor removed and entropion surgery. So he’s not quite ready for adoption yet!Stitch's perfect family? He loves kids, so kids are a huge must! A family with patience to show him he’s safe. He startles easily to loud noises but he overcomes the startle easily. He definitely needs a soft hand, as he shows some signs of abuse.
