Story
My name is Larry, and I’m a 1-year-old tan Great Dane weighing around 75 pounds! Earlier this month, a kind hunter found my brother and me out in the woods when we were severely underweight and dehydrated. Since then, we’ve been on a steady feeding schedule and have already gained a healthy 10 to 15 pounds! Even after a rough start, I am the sweetest, most gentle big guy. I walk nicely on a leash, take treats very softly from your hand, and love playing with other dogs! I can get pretty vocal when I play, and I also like to do some goofy mouth play, though I’m always gentle and never put any pressure down. Because I don’t quite realize how big I am yet, I’m currently learning not to jump up when I get excited, and I'm also working on my housetraining (luckily, I'm super treat-motivated!). One funny thing to know about me is that when my brother and I were put in separate outdoor runs after getting neutered, I got bored and showed everyone I can climb a fence!  I’m neutered, microchipped, up to date on my shots.  I’m so ready to trade my days in the woods for a soft bed and a loving family. Come meet me soon! ##2884407##

Story
Hey there, I’m Curly! I’m a handsome 1-year-old brindle Great Dane weighing right around 80 pounds. Back in early October, a hunter found my brother and me out in the woods when we were very thin and dehydrated. Thankfully, we’ve been on a good feeding schedule ever since and have already put on 10 to 15 pounds! Everyone here says I am a total sweetheart. I'm super gentle with people, take treats nicely from your hand, and walk really well on a leash! I’m currently working on my housetraining, and since I love snacks so much, I'm a big fan of training time. I also get along great with other dogs! Even though I'm a big boy who likes to get vocal and chatty while playing, I'm actually very gentle with my dog friends. I am all set on my vet care, too! I’m neutered, microchipped, caught up on all my vaccines, and tested negative for heartworm and tick diseases. I would love nothing more than a cozy home and a family to call my own. Come say hi to me soon! ##2884414##

Story
Meet Ghost! Ghost is a gentle, shy neutered male, about 1 to 2 years old, a merle Great Dane of about 60 pounds, who is looking for a patient person to show him what home is all about. He was part of a large Frenchie hoarding case, and he spent a couple of months roaming neighborhoods on his own before he came into care. He has been vetted and is ready for the next chapter of his life. Ghost is very fearful and was semi-feral when he came to us, so he's still learning how to trust. He's a bundle of nerves, but there's a sweet dog under it all. On a leash, he's a star. He'll stay glued to your hip and walk like a pro. He doesn't seem to mind other animals, and he's gentle by nature. Without a leash and a job to do, Ghost can seem unsure how to just be a dog, and he'll need help learning to relax, play, and explore. A foster home noted that he guarded his food, so he'd do best with a quiet routine and his own space at mealtimes. The basics - Age: About 1 to 2 years - Sex: Male, neutered - Breed: Merle Great Dane - Weight: About 60 pounds - Vetted: Yes - Leash manners: Excellent - Other animals: Doesn't seem to mind them - Food: Has guarded his food, so feed him separately - Temperament: Very fearful, gentle His perfect home: a patient, experienced adopter with a calm household, who understands fearful dogs and is happy to move at Ghost's pace. A confident, easygoing resident dog could help him, and a fenced yard would be a plus. If you've loved a shy dog before, Ghost needs you. Apply to meet him today!
