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 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

Hi, I'm Helen and I'm ready to find my forever home! Dog's Name: HelenLocation: Oswego, ILDate of Birth: 05/01/2026Gender: FemaleBreed: Great DaneColor: Double MerleWeight: Approximately 40 lbs SPECIAL NEEDS: Helen is likely deaf and currently sees well from one eye, although her vision may decline as she gets older. A securely fenced yard is required for her safety. Gets along with:Dogs?: Yes! Helen is dog friendly, although she's definitely a people girl at heart. She enjoys playing with other dogs but is also perfectly happy to excuse herself when she's had enough puppy wrestling.Cats?: Yes, with continued training and supervision. Helen is curious about cats and sometimes wants to play a little too enthusiastically, but her foster believes she can easily learn appropriate boundaries.Kids?: Yes! Training:Training: In progress—Helen is a young puppy still learning her mannersMotivation: Very food motivated and responds well to positive reinforcementSpecial Consideration: Because Helen's vision may decline over time, beginning her training now while she can still see well will be especially important. Meet Helen If you're looking for the ultimate cuddle buddy, you have just found your girl. This special Great Dane puppy is one giant bundle of wiggles, sweetness, and love. Despite already being a big girl, Helen is completely convinced she is exactly the right size for your lap—and she will happily prove it every chance she gets. Helen can be a little shy when she first meets someone new. She likes a moment to figure things out before jumping in, but give her a little time and you'll soon meet the real Helen: a gentle, affectionate lovebug who wants nothing more than to be close to her people. Once you're in, expect cuddles. Lots of them. She's also wonderfully easygoing for a puppy. Helen enjoys other dogs and will happily join her sister for a wrestling match—most of the time. Occasionally, her sister's antics are just too much, and Helen will retreat under a chair as if to say, "Seriously? Her again?" She's dog friendly but clearly has a special preference for spending time with her humans. Helen is curious about cats and currently thinks they might make excellent playmates. Because she's still a puppy, her foster is working on teaching her that feline friends don't necessarily appreciate Great Dane-style wrestling. She's less focused on cats than her sister and is expected to learn those boundaries with continued training and supervision. Helen happens to experience the world a little differently. She is likely deaf and currently has good vision in one eye, although that vision may decline as she gets older. But Helen hasn't gotten the memo that she's supposed to let any of that slow her down. She explores, plays, cuddles, and loves just like any other puppy. Because she can see now, her future family has a wonderful opportunity to frontload her training while she still has useful vision, teaching visual and touch-based cues that can continue helping her navigate the world confidently if her eyesight changes. And there's good news on the training front: Helen is very food motivated, so positive-reinforcement training comes with a very enthusiastic student! Her ideal adopter will be patient, loving, and excited to learn alongside her. A securely fenced yard will be required to help keep Helen safe as her hearing and vision needs evolve. And while Helen may need a few accommodations throughout her life, she doesn't seem particularly concerned about being "special." She's much more concerned about whether there's room in your lap. With her beautiful mostly white coat, adorable little polka-dot patch, full-body wiggles, and enormous capacity for affection, Helen is looking for someone who sees everything she can do—and wants to give this incredibly sweet girl the safe, loving life she deserves. If you're ready for a lifetime of cuddles, wiggles, learning together, and one very oversized lap dog, Helen may be waiting for you.

Hi, I'm Luther and I'm ready to find my forever home! Dog's Name: LutherLocation: Sun Prairie, WIAge: 4 yearsGender: MaleBreed: Great DaneWeight: Approximately 130 lbs Gets along with:Dogs?: Luther can live with a calm, larger dog with very slow introductions, but he would also be perfectly happy as the only dog. Small dogs are not recommended because he becomes overly interested in them.Cats?: UnknownKids?: Yes Training:Leash Trained: Walks nicely on a loose leash and happily cruises for 2–3 milesCrate Trained: Yes; settles quickly and keeps his crate cleanPotty Trained: Yes!Car: LOVES car ridesCommands: Knows “no” and “leave it”; continued obedience training recommended Meet Luther Luther is approximately 130 pounds of Velcro Dane, champion napper, and professional soft-spot seeker. His life before rescue is a bit of a mystery, and many of the everyday comforts of living in a home seem to be new to him. He arrived with callouses on his legs, feet, and belly, suggesting that soft places to rest that giant body may have been hard to come by. Now? Luther has discovered soft beds—and he is making up for lost time. His foster loves hearing the sweet little moan of appreciation he makes when he settles into a cozy spot. And don't expect to move to another room without him noticing. Luther is a true Velcro Dane who happily follows his favorite people around the house, relocating from nap spot to nap spot just so he can stay nearby. Luther loves head pats and ear rubs and has already mastered the famous Dane lean when he'd like a little more attention. He actively seeks out people to give and receive affection and even moans with delight when his ears are cleaned. Apparently, Luther has decided spa treatments are another perk of his new life! He's also remarkably quiet. His foster has only heard him bark twice—and both times were because something startled him. But don't let all that napping fool you. Luther loves a good walk. This long-legged guy will happily cruise for two or three miles before heading home to begin his next scheduled series of naps. He isn't reactive toward dogs on walks and can be redirected from tempting rabbits and squirrels with a firm “leave it.” Small dogs get a little too much of his attention, though, so they wouldn't be the right roommates for him. Luther can live with a calm, larger dog after very slow introductions, but here's the good news for anyone looking for just one giant best friend: Luther would be completely content as your one and only. And if there's an open car door nearby? Luther assumes you've obviously opened it for him. This boy absolutely LOVES car rides and is always ready to climb aboard. Luther also does wonderfully meeting people. With slow, calm greetings, he happily accepts bonus pets from shopkeepers, walkers, bikers, and other new friends he meets along the way. At home, he's an easygoing companion. He's potty trained, settles nicely in his crate, isn't destructive or chewy, and is equally delighted to sleep on a dog bed in the bedroom as long as his people are nearby. He doesn't require a fenced yard and could even do well in an apartment as long as he gets his daily walks. Luther is still gaining some much-needed weight and would benefit from continued basic obedience training, but his foster believes even a first-time dog owner could be a great match for him. Luther doesn't seem to be asking for much from his next chapter. A soft place to sleep. A good walk. An occasional car ride. Plenty of ear rubs. And, most importantly, a person he can follow from room to room for the rest of his life. If you've been looking for a sweet, laid-back giant shadow who wants nothing more than to be part of your everyday life, Luther may be the one you've been waiting for. ##2800322##

Dog’s Name: PaprikaLocation: New Smyrna Beach, FLDate of Birth: 1/20/2020Gender: FemaleBreed: Great DaneColor: BlackDog's Weight: 149Adoption Fee: Fully Sponsored! Gets along with:Dogs?: Yes! Paprika recently had a successful introduction with a calm, well-mannered dog, greeting politely with loose body language, play bows, and appropriate disengagement. She does best with thoughtful, slow introductions and calm canine companions.Cats?: Paprika has shown calm curiosity around safely contained cats and has demonstrated the ability to disengage and return to her handler. She has not yet been evaluated with free-roaming cats, so any introductions should be slow, structured, and supervised.Kids?: An adult home or one with older, respectful teenagers would be the best fit for Paprika. Training:Leash trained: Walks loose on leashCrate/Kennel:  Goes into crate/kennel on commandPotty trained: Indicates a need to potty and doesn’t have indoor accidentsCar:  Rides well in the car Meet Paprika Adoption Fee: Fully Sponsored! Some dogs wear their hearts on their sleeves. Paprika wears hers quietly. She isn't the first dog to rush into every new situation, but give her a moment to look around, decide everything is okay, and you'll discover one of the sweetest, most loyal Great Danes you'll ever meet. Paprika is a gentle, intelligent girl with a curious spirit and a wonderful sense of humor. She loves leisurely walks, exploring the world with her nose, relaxing in her dog run, riding in the car, and simply being part of whatever her people are doing. Once she knows she's safe, her playful, goofy side begins to shine. And Paprika has come a long way. Over the past several months, she's blossomed into a much more confident dog. She now greets new people politely, settles into new environments more quickly, and enjoys meeting visitors through calm, structured introductions. She's incredibly responsive to positive reinforcement and genuinely loves learning with her people—especially when treats and praise are involved. One of Paprika's biggest recent milestones deserves celebrating: she recently had her first successful playdate with another calm, well-mannered dog. She greeted politely, offered play bows, responded beautifully to her handlers, and showed relaxed body language throughout the interaction. It was a wonderful reminder of just how much progress this amazing girl has made. While she still does best with thoughtful introductions and calm canine companions, Paprika has shown she absolutely has the ability to make dog friends. Paprika is observant by nature. She may give a few alert barks when something catches her attention, but instead of rushing to investigate, she's learned to check in with her people and recover quickly. Every day she chooses connection over concern a little more often, and it's been beautiful to watch. At home, Paprika is affectionate, calm, and happiest simply being near the people she loves. She doesn't need constant excitement—she just wants to be included. Whether you're relaxing at home, taking a peaceful walk, or heading out for a drive, Paprika is happiest when she's by your side. Her ideal home is one with adults or older, respectful teenagers who appreciate an intelligent, thoughtful dog. She thrives with routine, kind leadership, and positive reinforcement, and she'll reward that investment with unwavering loyalty and companionship. Calm, well-socialized dogs may also be wonderful companions with proper introductions. Paprika isn't looking for someone to change who she is. She's looking for someone who will appreciate the incredible dog she has already become. Her adoption fee has been fully sponsored, so all that's missing is the person who's been waiting for a gentle giant with a heart full of love. Could that person be you?

Hi, I'm Minnie and I'm ready to find my forever home! Dog's Name: MinnieLocation: Oswego, ILDate of Birth: 05/01/2026Gender: FemaleBreed: Great DaneColor: Double MerleWeight: Approximately 45 lbs SPECIAL NEEDS: Minnie has limited to no hearing and currently sees fairly well, although her vision and hearing may decline as she gets older. A securely fenced yard is required for her safety. Gets along with:Dogs?: Yes! Minnie loves other dogs and especially enjoys a good floppy wrestling match with her sister. After saying hello to the resident dog, she's also perfectly happy to go about her business.Cats?: Yes, with continued training and supervision. Minnie is very interested in cats right now and would love to play with them, so she'll need help learning that feline friends don't necessarily appreciate Great Dane-style play.Kids?: Yes! Training:Training: In progress—Minnie is a young puppy still learning her mannersMotivation: Extremely food motivated and eager to learnSpecial Consideration: Because Minnie's vision and hearing may decline over time, beginning her training now while she can still see will be especially important. Meet Minnie Minnie is the biggest puppy in her litter—and apparently she decided she needed a personality big enough to match! This beautiful Great Dane girl is playful, silly, affectionate, and already sporting an impressively deep Great Dane bark. She can be a little cautious when she first meets someone, but give her a moment to figure out that you're a friend and the tough-girl act disappears pretty quickly. Before long, she'll be melting into your arms, resting that big puppy head against you, and soaking up every bit of love she can get. Minnie is often the one convincing her sister that it's time for another wrestling match. She loves a good floppy puppy throwdown and isn't afraid to get the fun started! But don't mistake playful for nonstop energy. Once she's had her fun, Minnie is equally happy lounging with her people and settling in for a cuddle. She's also dog friendly and enjoys canine companionship. Cats are particularly fascinating to Minnie right now—perhaps a little too fascinating—and she would very much like them to participate in her games. Because she's still a young puppy, she'll need continued training and supervision to learn appropriate boundaries with feline friends. Minnie experiences the world a little differently. She appears to have limited to no hearing and currently sees fairly well, although her hearing and vision may decline as she gets older because she is a double merle. Minnie, however, seems far too busy being a puppy to worry about any of that. She plays, wrestles, explores, cuddles, and gets into all the usual puppy fun. And there's something else working strongly in Minnie's favor: this girl LOVES food. Her foster describes her as incredibly food motivated, which makes her an enthusiastic student for positive-reinforcement training. Because she can see now, her future family has a valuable opportunity to frontload her training with her future needs in mind, helping her learn visual and touch-based communication that can continue serving her if her vision changes. Minnie needs a family who understands that first impressions aren't always the whole story. When she's uncertain about someone new, she may give them that surprisingly deep bark or even have a little nervous pee. That's not the Minnie you'll know once she feels safe. Give her a little patience, and you'll meet the goofy, wrestling, cuddling lovebug underneath. Her future family will need to be committed to continuing her training and adapting along with her if her hearing and vision change. A securely fenced yard will be required to give Minnie a safe place to explore. But Minnie isn't looking for someone to feel sorry for her. She's looking for someone ready to teach her, laugh with her, wrestle with her, cuddle her, and love the wonderfully silly puppy she already is. With her nearly all-white coat, adorable dark spot on her tail, giant puppy personality, and that unexpectedly deep Dane bark, Minnie is pretty hard to forget once you've met her. Could she be the unforgettable girl your family has been waiting for? Until the profile is removed from the public’s view, this dog is considered available for adoption.

Hi, I’m Dominic and I’m ready to find my forever home! • Dog’s Name: Dominic• Location: Fenton, MO• Date of Birth: 5/11/2026• Gender: Male• Breed: Saint Bernard/Great Dane Mix• Color: Black & White• Dog's Weight: 38 lbs Gets along with:• Dogs?: All dogs• Cats?: All cats• Kids?: All kids Training:• Leash Trained: Walks loose leash• Crate Trained: Working on crate training; he may not love going in at first, but settles down and sleeps once he realizes it's time to relax• Potty Trained: Indicates when he needs to go potty; still working on consistency and may have an accident if his signals are missed• Car: Rides well in the car Meet Dominic! Looking for a big personality in an adorable puppy package? Meet Dominic! This handsome Saint Bernard/Great Dane mix is smart as a whip, full of playful puppy energy, and just as happy to settle in for a good snuggle when playtime is over. Dominic absolutely loves his three foster siblings. Tug-of-war, wrestling and a good game of chase are all on his list of favorite activities, but when he's worn himself out, he's ready to curl up with his furry friends or his humans. He's also been curious and appropriate with the cats in his foster home and does well with kids. For such a young guy, Dominic already has a great start on his manners. He walks nicely on a loose leash, rides well in the car and is learning to let his foster family know when he needs to go outside. The kennel isn't his favorite place just yet, but he does settle down and sleep once he realizes he's staying put for a little while. Dominic would love having another dog to play with, but he'd also be perfectly happy as the only pup as long as his family gives him an outlet for all that puppy energy. A fenced yard isn't required, either. His foster family believes he could even be a wonderful choice for a first-time giant-breed owner who has researched Saint Bernards and Great Danes and is prepared for everything that comes with raising a giant puppy. Basic obedience training will help set Dominic up for success as he grows into a very big boy! Smart, social, playful, cuddly AND ridiculously cute—Dominic is ready to grow up with a family of his very own. Could it be yours?
