Story
🐾 Meet Booker! 🐾 If you’ve ever wanted a gentle giant who doubles as a living weighted blanket, Booker may just be your perfect match! This handsome boy has a calm, loving personality and believes the best place to be is right by your side (or directly on your feet if possible). Booker is a big guy with an even bigger heart. He’s house trained, well-mannered, and knows commands like sit and stay—he’ll even politely wait for permission before diving into dinner like the true gentleman he is. While he enjoys stretching those long legs with a good yard run or a game of “I’ll chase the ball but bringing it back is negotiable,” most of the time he’s happiest simply hanging out with his people. ✨ Booker’s Highlights ✨ 🐶 Great with other dogs — friendly and submissive 👧 Sweet with kids (though his size can accidentally bowl over tiny humans during excitement) 🏡 House trained and non-destructive 🎾 Loves yard time and goofy play sessions 🛋️ Calm, easygoing personality 🚗 Ready to learn and continue leash training Booker would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can safely romp around and practice his signature “Great Dane gallop.” He can fit into both active homes and quieter households, as long as he gets the love and companionship he craves. His motto in life seems to be: “Why sit across the room when I could lovingly stand directly in your personal space?” If you’re looking for a loyal best friend with long legs, soft eyes, and a heart the size of a small planet, Booker is waiting to meet you! 🐾

Story
Benny is a joyful, playful pup full of energy and always ready for his next adventure! He loves squeaky toys and will happily bounce around the yard or play a game of fetch to burn off some of that fun-loving energy. He’s great with kids and other dogs, making him a wonderful addition to a family. Benny is already house trained and crate trained—such a smart boy! He’s currently working on his basic commands and will need a family committed to continuing his training and helping him polish his manners. With his long legs like a Great Dane and a sleek Lab-like coat, Benny is as handsome as he is athletic. He would thrive in an active home where he can get plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation. After a day of fun, Benny is more than happy to hang out with his people and soak up all the love. If you’re looking for a happy, energetic, and affectionate companion, Benny just might be your perfect match! Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Loki is a 3.5 year old Great Dane. Loki loves to snuggle and is very treat motivated. He listens very well but sometimes gets a little excited over the anticipation of a treat. He LOVES to play with toys but has a tendency to eat them. I’ve had the best luck with Kong style toys and, surprisingly, a horse ball! We have had two close calls with swallowed toys so he should still be monitored with them! Loki has a Great Dane “brother” who he plays great with but he has little experience with other dogs. He definitely does not know his size. He’s energetic and loves to run! I am looking to rehome Loki, as well as his “brother”, through no fault of these wonderful boys. My career has led to 12+ hour shifts and soon I will be back in school. I simply can no longer provide them with what they deserve. Though I would love to rehome them together I understand that it is more than a handful to have two Great Danes. If interested in his brother “Odin” please let me know or look for his posting.
