Story
Meet Misty! She's a smart lady who is smart as a whip! She's crate trained, mastered many commands (sit, down, off, mat, enough, go to your room, here, all done- more than most kids :). She loves to run, play fetch and be wherever you are! She's a year and a half old, and was lucky enough to have professional training donated to help her find her forever home. Whoever adopts her will receive at least one free hand off session from her trainer to help her transition go perfectly! Her ideal family would be somewhat active (she needs to run around a yard at least a few times per day). She gets along well with other dogs, but calmer dogs are best. Misty loves to play, but she can get very excited if the other dog is too energetic! She would do well with older children. Younger children and cats would require a lot of supervision. Her trainer thinks she would be a great agility dog, but she is smart enough to do anything you want to train her to do! She will require some active parenting to teach her the rules of your house, because she is so smart, she may try to make her own activities if nothing fun is provided! She's potty trained now (we had some overnight accidents until she started going in her crate at night). She's a great dog with a good head on her shoulders, and she wants to know if you are the one for her! $200 In State Adoption Fee (in Texas) $400 Out of State Fee (includes Transportation to your area) $50 Temporary fuel surcharge.

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.

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! 🐾

Moose

Great Dane

Male, 5 yrs 8 mos
Marshalltown, IA
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Moose, a 6-year-old Harlequin Great Dane with a big bark and an even bigger heart. When Moose first came to us, he had been found living alone in a garage and weighed only 83 pounds. With time, care, love, and plenty of groceries, Moose is now healthy, happy, and feeling so much better. Moose may be 6, but he still has plenty of playful energy. He loves rough-and-tumble fun, time with his people, and making sure everyone knows when dinner is near. Because of his past, Moose is still working through some food insecurity. He has no history of biting, but may become uncomfortable around food if he feels unsure. Our behavior staff has been working with him, and he is making great progress with patience and consistency. Moose will need an experienced adopter, preferably someone familiar with large breeds, who can continue helping him build trust. He needs structure, understanding, and someone willing to see the loyal, goofy, loving dog underneath. Moose’s adoption fee includes his vaccines, neuter, microchip, and health testing. If you have a heart for the dogs who need a little extra time, Moose may be your guy.

Story
Meet Otto – Your Shadow, Adventure Buddy, and Best Friend Otto is an outstanding, approximately 2-year-old German Shepherd Great Dane mix (our best guess) with the happiest heart and the goofiest personality.

This handsome boy loves to run alongside the four-wheeler and enjoys staying active, but his favorite place will always be right next to his people.

Otto is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines and preventions. He is ready to start his next chapter with a family who will appreciate his devotion, energy, and big shepherd heart. Adoption Fee: • $200 local (Texas) • $450 out of state (includes transport) If you’re looking for a smart, loving, always-by-your-side best friend who will bring joy, laughter, and loyalty into your life, Otto is ready to meet you. 🐾💙
