Not that anyone would ever call her small, but you would say she's a manageable size, which is perfect. If you love the Dane look, but aren't sure you could handle a full size model, we have Dolly waiting for you. She is currently only 60 lbs., but that is a bit deceiving, as she is very underweight. We would like to see at least 15 lbs. more on her ribs and we are working on it. She is now getting top quality groceries, something she has never had before. Still a young dog, at only about 2 years old, she is in the process of learning about how to deal with the world around her and she is learning fast. Her foster has some comments to help you understand this 'dog-in-progress. 'She’s nervous around new people and things. She does warm up after a bit. Her initial reaction to people that she doesn’t know is to low growl. She is trying to tell everyone to give her a moment to process the new information. I don’t recommend a house with cats or small animals. She’ tries to chase down all the birds,  and squirrels when we’re outside. I’m fairly confident her life prior to rescue wasn’t a good one. It's heartbreaking seeing a good dog trying to cope with a world she was never shown. UPDATE:I have had her for a month now, and she is learning! I took her to the vet today, and while she was nervous, she did not growl. So there has been improvement on that aspect. She wasn’t super outgoing and wanting everyone’s attention, so definitely stand by the slower to warm up to strangers. I highly suspect she’s been abused. She is highly intelligent and learns new things really fast.  She really has the potential to be an excellent dog, and wants to be loved and please her person. MORE UPDATE: Since being here at my house over a month now I have some new insights into her. She is not dog friendly with all dogs.  She's OK with my male dog, but not so happy with my female.  I've been working on getting her to ignore people on walks and she's doing better. She doesn't like it if strangers get to close when we are out.  In the yard. she's definitely going to need at least a 6 foot fence to keep her safely secured.  I will say, she is house trained and does let you know when she needs to go out. She also does very well in her kennel. She is very smart, and can learn things pretty quickly. She has all her shots and is ready and waiting for the person or family who like bigger dogs, but aren't ready for an actual Goliath. Dolly is a good girl! She is hoping you will want to help her be a good dog and come for her soon.   If you are interested in Dolly, please fill out an application at: https://reachoutrescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=4588    Or contact: rorrcanine@gmail.com   *** Click here to sponsor this dog! ***Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 5:13 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER: Paula (a.k.a Layla) is a snuggle bug of a great dane that needs a home where she can lay on the couch and watch movies and go on long walks/play with her people. HISTORY: Unknown PERSONALITY: Layla is very loving and aims to please once she is comfortable around you but it takes a little bit of time and trust building to get there. She matches your energy, if you are having a lazy day, Layla too, is having a lazy day. If you are energetic and going for a run, Layla too, wants to go for a run. She just loves being around people and doing whatever you are doing. She is a lazy dog at heart and loves napping on couches, beds, etc.. She is very skittish and easily spooked by loud noises and sounds, she often scares herself with her tail when she hits things like trash cans, railings, etc. but once she is comfortable which usually doesn’t take to long, she is good. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Running and playing with other dogs who will chase me and snuggling on the couch or bed with my people. MEDICAL ISSUES: De-wormed and treated, caught up on all vaccinations. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: She needs a very patient owner who will love her and take the time to build trust. She is shy at first to new people but after a little time she will warm up, unfortunately, it may be due to her background. Another dog would be great for her because she loves to play but she could also thrive in a home where she is the only dog as sometimes loud noises and sounds can spook her. She is hesitant at first but will pick one person to be her person and will slowly warm up to everyone else. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Has good recall but when she sees something of interest (like a squirrel) it is hard to refocus her if she is off leash she will run and chase it. Application Fees, Adoption Donations and Rescue Policy: Please know that 100% of our fees and donations pay for the costs of rescuing dogs. These include but are not limited to pull fees from shelters, veterinary examinations, vaccinations, medications and care, microchips, neuter/spay surgeries, heartworm treatments, behavior evaluations, and foster care, as needed.

Pets currently in the applicant's home must have a history of appropriate veterinary care. Homes with intact dogs will not be approved for adoption.  Proof of any of the following exceptions is required: The intact dog is a working member of a law enforcement, or search and rescue/recovery team. The intact dog is registered under the auspices of the American Kennel Club and is actively being shown. A veterinarian has determined the sterilization procedure would harm the intact dog.  We believe in Force Free Training Methods and do not approve of methods or devices using pain or force to control the dog, or to deter undesirable behavior.  Homes with highly varnished steps must have carpeting, securely fixed stair treads, or a non-skid surface. **We encourage you to remediate potential safety issues while your application is under review, prior to the home visit.

Story
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please email the adoption counselor: lisastern.tr@gmail.com  and request an adoption application.  Dog's Name:  Bump (BUM0125CCGMD) Estimated Breed: Mini Great Dane Mix   Approximate Age:  4 years Approximate Weight:  85 pounds Currently Living at:  Foster Adoption Fee:  $400   DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Looking for a furry companion who will bring joy, loyalty, and endless love into your home?  Bump is the one for you! This stunningly handsome gentleman is ready to find his forever family. Here’s a little about him:  Personality: Bump is extremely sweet and absolutely LOVES people! He loves to play with other dogs, and his current foster describes him as having "a gem of a personality". If you are looking for BIG love, Bump has it!  Training & Behavior: This charming guy is already crate trained, housetrained, knows "sit" and will come to you when called. He needs some training on his manners, as he will jump up on you and enjoys counter surfing (but is learning that this is a "no-no".) While he has learned a lot walking on leash, Bump still needs training as he likes to zig zag around you and can pull you over with his sheer weight. In general, Bump is quiet, but will occasionally bark if he wants something. Health & Wellness : Bump was extremely underweight when he arrived in our care, but has  gained 15 lbs. and is looking pretty fit. We feel he could stand to gain a few more pounds, so he agrees that he will happily enjoy more treats!  Perfect Home: Bump is VERY energetic and needs a good amount of exercise. Currently, he walks at least 2 miles a day. We prefer to place him in an active home, especially with an adopter who has previous large dog experience. Adoption fees cover basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery (for dogs over 6 months old), rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention and monthly flea/tick prevention (while the animal is in our care), and transport costs from high-kill shelter. Please note that on average, Hatton Animal Rescue spends significantly more on each dog than the adoption fee. Sponsor Me! Make a tax-deductible donation today by visiting us at    https://www.hattonanimalrescue.org/sponsor.    Donations help us offset boarding costs and additional medical treatment for those dogs who need it. For more information on Hatton Animal Rescue, visit our website at    hattonanimalrescue.org   .
