Great Dane puppies and dogs in Gardner, Massachusetts

Meet Clifford! Although Clifford is not red, he is a BIG dog! He is already 80 pounds and will continue to get a little bit bigger. At the shelter, Clifford loves walks, puzzle toys, stuffed toys, and pets, but his all-time favorite thing to do is play frisbee! Clifford would like his family to have experience with XL dog breeds. Clifford did not have the easiest start to life, and so we`re looking for a home that is knowledgeable about how to support him and help him gain confidence. He can be fearful of new people, but once Clifford gets to know you, he gives the best full body cuddles!Clifford is currently up to date on all of his vaccines, neutered, and micro-chipped. All adoptions start with a visit to our shelter.**Clifford`s adoption must be approved by our Manager of Canine and Feline Care or Director of Animal Care Services; you can meet him Tuesday-Sundays! **

Meet Gunner! 🐾 Gunner has only been in foster care for a short time, but he’s already showing us what a fun, goofy, and lovable puppy he is! He has a great ability to settle and entertain himself, but he also has the potential to be as active and adventurous as his family wants him to be. He’s very much still a puppy, with all the excitement, curiosity, and learning that comes with it! Gunner is house-trained and extremely food-motivated, which makes working with him a lot of fun. He’s still learning his leash manners and how to walk politely without pulling. Gunner has never met a stranger and seems to believe that every person and every dog is just as excited to say hello as he is! Because he’s a big boy, continued training, consistency, and work on impulse control will be important as he grows. Toys are another exciting discovery for Gunner! Whether toys are still a novelty or he just thinks they're the best thing ever, we're working on appropriate play and learning to manage his excitement and impulses around them. Gunner absolutely thrives with canine play and would likely love having a confident, playful dog sibling to share adventures with. Given his size, strength, enthusiasm, and excitement during play, a home with older teens or adults would be the best fit. And don't let his big-boy appearance fool you! Gunner is convinced he's a lapdog. When the excitement settles, he is more than happy to melt right into your lap for snuggles. He's got a very sweet, affectionate side that makes him just as lovable during downtime as he is during playtime. Gunner is a BIG strong puppy with an even bigger personality! He has so much potential and is already showing how eager he is to learn. He’ll need a family willing to continue his training, provide outlets for his energy, and In return, you’ll get a fun-loving companion who is happy to join you for adventures but can also enjoy some downtime entertaining himself (or snuggling in your lap!). We’re still getting to know Gunner, but we’re loving what we're seeing so far! 🐾💙

Butterfly has a pretty good plan for a Saturday. Join a game of chase, take a breather and see what you’re up to on the other side of the yard. If you’re handing out scratches, she’ll swing by for those, too. Watch Butterfly’s adoption video on YouTube to see her easygoing personality and playful side! https://youtu.be/rwvjHAGAtWE Butterfly is a confident, friendly girl who makes herself comfortable around new people. She likes to wander over for a few pets and then go back to exploring. On walks, she’s happy to keep pace beside you and checks in often, making her lovely company for a stroll around the neighborhood. When it’s time to settle down, she walks right into her kennel and rests quietly. Around other dogs, Butterfly is good at picking up on their cues. She’ll join a game of chase or a little wrestling with a playful friend, take breaks along the way and give her buddies space when they’re ready to pause. She shares toys and attention nicely, and she’s happy to sit and wait her turn when treats come out. Butterfly would love a home with room to stretch out and people who enjoy daily walks, a little playtime and quiet evenings together. A yard would give her a place to wander and sniff, though an apartment could also suit her if the community welcomes a dog her size and her people make time for regular outings. If you’re looking for a dog who’ll join you for a walk, enjoy a romp with friends and then settle in while you go about your day, Butterfly would love to come along. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6aba7f923b355c06730a08f6 Questions?

Welcome Reesaw to CCPAL Rescue. She is an 18-month-old Great Dane mix dog. She weighs in at 102 pounds. She is good with other dogs and came in with an older Great Dane named Planter. Reesaw does pull on leash but we will be working with that. She is moderately active and would be fine with a moderately active family. She is a good balance between active and couch potato. She is good with people and will bond deeply with her person. Great Danes are typically a little shy and they warm up and bond deeply to their family. She does fit this characteristic. She would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. Someone who has owned an XL dog or a Great Dane would be preferable. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is 400 and transport is 180. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

Meet Breaker Your Adventure Buddy in the Making! Breaker is a handsome Great Dane/lab mix who is ready to find an active, committed family to call his own. At 2 years old & 85 pounds, he's a wonderful blend of big-dog presence and goofy puppy charm. Breaker thrives on activity and he still has that classic puppy energy, so he's looking for a family that understands the importance of positive correction, consistency, and continued training to help him grow into the best version of himself. With the right guidance, Breaker is eager to learn and please. One of Breakers favorite things in the world is going on adventures. He absolutely loves riding in the car and would be thrilled to tag along for hikes, outings, road trips, or any fun day spent exploring with his people. Water is another big favorite—splashing, wading, and cooling off are right up his alley. When playtime rolls around, Breaker is all in. He loves toys of all kinds and enjoys playing with dogs his own size. Most of all, Breaker wants to be with his people. He would happily spend the entire day with his family, whether that means being on the go or just hanging out together. If you're an active household looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion to share life's adventures, Breaker may be the perfect match for you. Breaker is looking for a home without small dogs or cats. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and on heartworm, flea, & tick preventative. He is being fostered in Seguin, TX.

She is s a loving dog. She loves head scratches and running outside just like any other dog. She is a big breed and needs a lot of love, attention and training. She deserves a home that has time for her to grow and prosper. She was born some time in December ‘24 I’ve had her since March ‘25. She is still a puppy with a big heart. I have a busy schedule and she needs more time than I have for her right now. I moved, so I’ve had to work more to make ends meet. She deserves the whole world. She still has trouble making it outside on time to use the bathroom. She has accidents in her cage, but has been improving slowly. She gets along with other dogs, she is very playful. She gets along with my house cat. She’s just recently finding her “voice”. She’s now due for her rabies shot after a year. If anyone can provide the space, time, financial stability and training she needs please reach out. She needs a lot of help I haven’t been able to provide properly. Thank you.
