Great Dane puppies and dogs in Walkersville, Maryland

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Fill out an Adoption Application RAJAH IS LOCATED IN KNOXVILLE, MD. Rajah, The Good, The Bad and The Loving Great Dane! Since coming to MTM, Rajah has been adopted twice, and returned within a month each time. Why? She’s a big, strong, and playful girl, who came into rescue because her owner died, and her owner’s next of kin kept her outside for 2 years before surrendering her to rescue in January 2021. In those 2 years, she had minimal training and human interaction, and she became infected with heartworm. MTM provided heartworm treatment and she is now negative. Rajah’s previous adopters expected too much, too soon. The first adopters allowed their cat in immediate proximity within the first hour, and Rajah chased. Days later, it wasn’t any better. The second adopter had no other pets, and no children at home. Rajah was adjusting well to the routine and the long walks and all the attention. But, when an adult child and dog visited, Rajah got protective, so she was returned. Her perfect home would have a confident and patient owner, no children, no other animals, and a yard that is fenced in with a physical fence.  Rajah could potentially have a K9 brother or sister as long as his/her demeanor was calm and not overly exuberant or aggressive and they were introduced properly, with decompression techniques used. Rajah needs time and consistency to learn her people are trustworthy. She doesn’t have good social skills with dogs. She chases cats and other small animals. She has been with the same fosterer since April 2021. Her fosterer has other dogs, and goats. Rajah is kept separated from the other animals, and her fosterer feels Rajah doesn’t get enough time with her. Her fosterer describes Rajah as a loving, bouncy seven-year-old Great Dane, a 'picture-perfect dog that is just beyond beautiful. Her soul and spirit are truly a rare blessing.' She deserves a home where she can enjoy her own space and her own people. Rajah knows basic obedience, just needs to be reminded. She pulls at times but also knows how to walk at a heel position. She loves her zoomies but then will get excited and will jump up to face greet. Putting her in a sit and giving a calm chest rub will calm her back down. She rides great in the car. She has no issues with people approaching, but she will bark at other dogs. Going to the vet hasn’t been an issue. Grooming; she is fine with nails trims, brushing, etc. She is fine by herself, so she can be left alone while someone works. Likes: Rajah loves having her face petted and leaning in for a Dane hug. She is so attentive and eager to please. She does well in a crate, but she will sing to you if she needs a potty break, a hug or attention. Dislikes: Strangers, dogs barking at her, unpredictable people or activity Personality: Rajah is playful and loving. Her facial expression is so soft. She just wants to get and give love. Energy level: Rajah is able to be calm in a crate, but when loose she is high energy. She loves her zoomies so would do best in a fenced yard. She runs the fence barking at the goats, and the other dogs. Favorite activities: Zoomies and hugs. Good with: Calm, confident and predictable adult humans, and positive training. She likes to please. Not good with: Energetic or loud dogs or cats. She is insecure, so is not trustworthy with children. Housetrained: Yes. Crate trained: Yes. Challenges: Rajah will need to have her obedience training refreshed. She is calmest in a home with a confident owner or she will take control. She does not have good dog-to-dog social skills and she chases cats, so would do best in a home with no other pets. She has done well with calm K9's, so that is a possibility and can be explored in discussion with her current foster. Any Medical issues? Rajah is now heartworm negative! Rajah would thrive in an experienced Great Dane home that understands the importance of ongoing training to build Rajah's confidence. Being an only dog would give her the attention and the time she wants and needs to become a happy-go-lucky Dane. A fenced yard would give her the thrill of the zoomies that she so loves. Rajah may be seven years old, but she isn’t ready to slow down, a typical Dane, she will enjoy going for a walk just as much as a nap. Meeting this girl will bring a joy to your life that only a Great Dane can bring.

Tall Titan, is a strong and remarkable  Warrior,  a dog that has fought to be alive and walking  today on this earth.  He has willed himself to come from the depths of pain and starvation to become this handsome boy that you see right now.  He is our Super Hero Pup and our example of a creature that has never given up even when it would have been easier to just go to sleep and never wake up.    When Titan came to a rescue lady’s house that Critter Cavalry knows, this boy was malnourished and just a skeleton of the puppy he should be as a Great Dane.  The lady has a love for the Danes and she asked CCR to please take him into our rescue before she fell in love and couldn’t let him go.  She had enough dogs and just felt the temptation to keep him was too great.  We agreed and soon Titan was ours to raise and get prepped for a new home and family.  Shortly afterwards his foster family noticed he was struggling to walk and his joints were inflamed. Titan was taken to several vets before receiving the diagnosis of  Hypertrophic osteodystrophy (HOD). He has been put on a regimen of medications, high calorie food and hydrotherapy and is now running, jumping and playing with other dogs. His favorite things to do are play with toys, run and nap in the sun. Titan is a large dog and will do best in a home with another large dog or two that he will be able to play with. He will continue to need medication intermittently for some time and to be followed by a veterinarian.  If you have large breed dog experience and are willing to take on this fellas special needs please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue. He is not house trained to hold longer than 4 hours.  He needs to eat separately at mealtimes and he needs to learn better how to play with his toys in a group setting if there are other dogs.  If he is the only dog then there is no special monitoring.   Titan rides like a champ in the car or truck and he is definitely crate trained with good dog/name recall.  He would be easier to watch in the yard if you had a real physical fence installed since he likes to wander off out of curiosity.   Please email Critter Cavalry at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested.  He is great with young children/boys that are rough and tumble and lots of noise. PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comDecember 11, 2023, 8:20 am

His enthusiasm for people, playing, and hugging makes him a real "Mr. Personality." He enjoys attention and soft toys, brings joy and laughter to everyone he meets!Given his size and energy level,we reccomend a home without small children. A nice yard is a must. This will provide him with the space he needs to romp and play to his heart's content. Bogey needs to learn boundaries and personal space with other dogs and he would really t benefit from a home that can provide him with training and guidance in socializing with his canine friends.Bogey's affectionate nature and goofball personality makes him a wonderful potential family member for the right household. It's clear that he just needs someone who understands his needs and breed, and is willing to provide the necessary guidance and training to ensure he thrives in a new home.

This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.    Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs.

DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Bruno is 2 years old and weighs 126bs.  He's neutered, is up to date on his vaccines, but is not microchipped.  "Bruno is an extremely loving dog to our immediate family and to two family members who live nearby.  This is very challenging for us because we love and adore Bruno.  But we have to put our humans first.   He knows sit, down, come, and "place"... the last one is used to tell him to get in his crate.  He loves his crate and usually goes in just to nap with the door open.  He has been trained for invisible fence as well as with an e-collar, but behaviorist discourages both."  Bruno is crated when the family is not at home and loves it, as he feels secure and peaceful.  However, Bruno dislikes and/or fears outsiders and doorbells but LOVE car rides.  Bruno is fed Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Stomach Salmon and Rice + probiotic granules. BITE/LUNGE/ATTACK INCIDENTS:  Incidents happend in October 2022 and January 2023.  " Owner's brother (injury, but no medical attention needed), a family friend (no injury), neighbor's elderly dog (no injury).  Account from my brother (my husband and I were away on a business trip and my mom was in charge):  ' Mom, Benjamin, and myself all went into the garage to let him out and I let him sniff me through the crate prior to letting him out.  He seemed cool with me.   I did not know that he was taking trazadone at the time and that he had not received it yet*.  When he came out of the cage he seemed upset and lunged at me and bit me on the forearm.  It was just a quick thing.  He immediately let go.  It could've been a lot worse.  He could've held on and shook but he didn't.  Just a quick warning bite.  I assumed he remembered me and was okay with me.  That obviously  wasn't the case.  I sustained one puncture from his left to canine and bruising from the other three canines.' (no medical attention was sought). *Bruno was on trazadone following his neuter and gastropexy surgery about 12 days prior.  It was meant to keep him stationary during healing.  My husband and I were traveling for his work at the time.  My other two sons were at scouts meeting." Bruno's guardian explains why she made the decision to rehome him:  " We have invested a lot of resources into his health (neuter and gastropexy) as well as obediance training.  Unfortunately for us, we have not been able to rehabilitate him from his fearfulness and the agression toward outsiders that it brings.  After consultation with a very well-respected behaviorist, we have concluded that he could be rehabilitated to interact with outside adults and other dogs, but not with kids outside of our family.   It simply is not safe for us to continue to keep him and have our children's friends in and out of the house.  We have lost trust in his ability to be civil with kids beyond ours.  He would thrive in an environment where he can interact with patient adults, have lots of outdoor space, and be offered training by a reputable behaviorist." Bruno's guardian states the following about children:  Bruno lives with children, ages 15, 12 and 10, but his guardian doesn't recommend his living with children, stating Bruno is " Nervous, fearful, and aggressive.  He should not be rehomed to a place that has children visit." Bruno's guardian states the following about dogs:  Bruno has lived with dogs, but his guardian so she recommends his living with dogs, stating " I do know he originally was surrendered by a family who had a total of 3 Great Danes (his mother and father).  I actually think he'd benefit from living with other dogs who have a healthy social outlook.  A lso, he has a BLAST when he goes to board while we're away.  He makes friends and has a good time.  He also interacts well with the staff (probably because he is not on his territory/our house)." Bruno's guardian states the following about cats:  Bruno lives with a cat but his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats, stating "He chases our cat.  The cat feels terrorized." Bruno's guardian further describes him as: Couch potato Barks alot Playful Likes to be touched Affectionate Fearful Always at your side Indoor dog Nervous House-Trained Crate-Trained Likes men Likes women Separation anxiety Bruno's guardian describes his ideal future home:  " A home with acreage and a fence that would allow him to run free.  He would be best-suited to a home where children do not visit.  With behavioral rehabilitation, he could be fine with visiting adults and dogs.  We can offer a full report from a renowned behaviorist."
