Story
Meet Moose, a 5-year-old Harlequin Great Dane with a heart (and bark!) as big as he is. When Moose arrived, he was living in rough conditions and weighed just 85 pounds — far below the healthy 120-150 pounds a Dane should be. With good care, love, and groceries, he’s been steadily gaining strength and confidence. Moose is a big dog with a big personality. He’s vocal and expressive, never shy about letting you know when it’s time for dinner or play. Beneath that deep bark is a gentle giant who loves rough-and-tumble play, tug-of-war, and quality time with his favorite people. Moose is looking for an experienced large-breed owner who understands the full “big dog package.” His adoption fee covers his vaccines, neuter, microchip, and health testing. If you’re ready for a loyal companion with plenty of love (and volume) to give — Moose is your guy.

Story
Meet our friend Luna! She is a Great Dane mix weighing in at about 140 lbs of pure love. Unlike the super sleek and leggy Danes you may be picturing, Luna is a more solid — a sturdy, (but beautiful) girl with an even bigger heart to match her size! We love her personality of `hey guys!` on a daily basis. Right now, Luna is looking for a foster-to-adopt home where she can comfortably recover from a recent leg surgery. She needed surgical intervention to help provide care for what is the human equivalent of ACL. CVHS will continue to cover her food, supplies, and medical care during this recovery period.Things to know about this girl`s personality: Luna absolutely loves being outside — soaking up the fresh air, lounging in the yard, and taking in the world around her. At the same time, she’s just as happy curling up in a cozy indoor spot for a long nap. She’ll make a wonderful indoor/outdoor companion for someone who appreciates a dog that enjoys both adventure and relaxation! Luna has lived successfully with other dogs in the past, but activity and play will need to be limited for now while she heals. She unfortunately is not good with cats, so no feline friends for Luna please. She has done well around children, but because she is a very large dog, thoughtful supervision and sturdy kiddos are recommended!What now?As she continues healing from surgery, Luna needs a calm, structured home environment with limited activity and controlled movement (no free rein zoomies just yet!)Someone committed to helping her safely recover while the rescue supports her medical needs.Luna walks well on leash and has an overall enjoyable and easygoing personality. What she truly needs most right now is a loving, patient home where she can rest, heal, and feel secure while awaiting final adoption.If you have room in your home — and your heart — for a gentle giant who just needs a soft landing spot to recover, Luna may be your perfect match!
