Story
Meet Molly—also lovingly known as Miss Moo—a 3½-year-old Great Dane with a heart as big as her paws. Molly may be a little shy when you first meet her, but give her a little time (and some tasty treats!) and you’ll see her true personality shine. Once she feels safe, she turns into a total cuddle bug who wants nothing more than to be close to her people. She does well with other dogs and would enjoy a canine companion. Cats can be a bit intimidating at first, but with time, she could learn to feel comfortable. Molly is also potty trained and very food motivated—the quickest way to her heart is definitely through her stomach! If you’re looking for a gentle giant to share your couch and your snacks, Miss Moo might just be your perfect match. Apply to adopt at: www.campcompanion.org 💰 Adoption fee: $350 plus tax

YOU WILL FIND THE ANSWER TO ALL BASIC QUESTIONS BELOW. Please read carefully Before emailing. *****All emails are answered within 24 hours. Because of Petfinders new inquiry software, emails are replied to directly and often are directed into your JUNK MAIL. Emails via AppleID or other remailers are UNDELIVERABLE. If you have not recieved a response in 24 hours, check your Junk Mail or email directly to pawsfirstrescue@hotmail.com NOT via the Petfinder inquiry page. ***** This dog is fostered near Crystal MN. Zoe is a 5 year old Great Dane lady who weighs about 110 pounds. She recently came to us as an owner surrender. The owners purchased her as a puppy and were told she may have a splash of Mastiff in her bloodlines. She visually appears to be all Dane though. Zoe’s owners moved out of state a year ago and recently decided she would not be joining them in their new home. Zoe has lived with other dogs, cats, and kids from baby and up. She will consider a home with kids old enough to understand that she cannot be sat on, laid on, or treated like a large climbing toy. Zoe is house and crate trained. She did not need to be crated in her home. She was crated up to 6 hours at a time with the arrival of a new puppy in the home. Zoe does a little counter surfing if she thinks you aren’t looking. Otherwise she has no bad habits we know about. She is learning to walk without pulling and would enjoy a basic training class. A little time and she is going to be your very best friend. *Each pup is spayed or neutered and current on their vet cares. *We do not hold or reserve dogs. We do not ship or fly. Prospective families must come to the dogs location in MN to meet.* *Emails are answered in the order they are received. We are receiving a large number of emails, so answering promptly is our goal.

Meet Bonnie, a beautiful baby girl who is already proving that "big" heart starts early! Bonnie is the ultimate social butterfly—she’s incredibly friendly and has never met a stranger, whether they have two legs or four. She is currently thriving in a home with other dogs, cats and teenagers, making her a perfect fit for any household. Why You’ll Love Her A Natural Learner: Bonnie is as smart as she is cute. She has already mastered "sit" for treats and is remarkably observant and curious about her surroundings. Star Student: For a young pup, she’s ahead of the curve! She sleeps through the entire night in her crate and is doing a fantastic job with her potty training (going outside most of the time). The Socialite: She loves playing in the yard, chasing leaves, and keeping up with the "big dogs." Whether she’s running in the backyard or having a wrestling match with her canine foster siblings, she’s always in a happy mood. Bonnie’s Favorite Things Toys: Hard bones for chewing and any (and every) stuffed animal. Activities: Zoomies in the backyard, chasing falling leaves, and showing off her "sit" for a tasty reward. Cuddles: When play time is over, Bonnie is all about the affection. She loves to cuddle up with other dogs and soak up all the love from her humans. Bonnie is a sweet, playful soul looking for a family to grow up with. If you’re looking for a loving, intelligent companion who is already well on her way to being a "good girl," Bonnie is ready to meet you! If you would like to meet Bonnie, please visit spotslaststop.org and fill out an application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Creek… a gentle giant with a heart that’s been waiting far too long for someone to notice it. Creek is a 3-year-old Great Dane, neutered, fully vaccinated, crate and house trained, and ready to leave his past behind for good. This handsome boy came to us from Louisiana, where a busy household with lots of children, simply didn’t have the time or resources to help him thrive. As a result, Creek is currently underweight and needs to gain about 20–30 pounds to reach a healthy, strong condition. Think of him as a masterpiece still in progress… the structure is there, now he just needs the care to truly shine. Despite everything, Creek’s spirit is beautifully intact. He’s a big boy in every sense, and like many Great Danes, he can be protective of his space and his people. At times, he can be overly protective, and with a 100+ pound dog coming toward you, that can absolutely be intimidating. And if your a kid, well he can knock them over easily.  Because of this, Creek will do best with an experienced owner, ideally someone familiar with Great Danes or other giant breeds, who can provide confident leadership and guidance to help him feel secure and balanced and no children, or older children only. But beneath that watchful presence is a deeply loyal companion who is just waiting to bond with “his person.” Once you’re in his circle, you’re in for life. Creek isn’t just a handsome face, he’s got the brains to match. He knows “sit,” “down,” “shake,” and “stay,” and he’s eager to keep learning. He’s the kind of dog who watches you closely, trying to understand, trying to connect… like he’s been waiting for someone to finally show him what home feels like. One of Creek’s favorite things? Other dogs. He truly enjoys canine companionship and would love a doggy friend in his new home to help keep him entertained and build his confidence. A buddy to romp with, relax with, and remind him that life can be good. Creek is looking for a home that understands large breeds and will give him the structure, nutrition, and love he’s been missing. In return, you’ll get a devoted guardian, a soulful companion, and a couch-sized shadow who just wants to be near you. If you’re ready to help Creek write his comeback story… he’s ready to meet you.

Introducing Annabelle! Affectionate Playful Loyal Easygoing Personality: Annabelle is a wonderful example of everything people love about Great Danes. She is affectionate, gentle, and deeply devoted to her people. Annabelle simply loves being involved in your daily life. She has a playful spirit and enjoys a good game with toys, but she is just as happy settling in for cuddle time. Her foster family describes her as the epitome of a Dane—loving, loyal, and happiest when she is close to her people. Socialness: Annabelle absolutely loves people and quickly wins over everyone she meets. She is even a staff favorite at the vet thanks to her sweet nature and easygoing personality. Her previous family noted that she has done well with children, and she continues to show a friendly and affectionate demeanor with everyone she meets. Annabelle has done well with other dogs and currently lives peacefully in her foster home, where she has interactions with male and female dogs. It was noted by her previous family that she struggled with interactions with an intact female dog in the household. She does not have experience with cats, so any introductions should be slow and structured. Likes: Being close to her people Cuddle time Playing with balls and squeaky toys Car rides and adventures Being pampered Nap time after play sessions No dislikes have been noted—Annabelle truly enjoys just about everything! Training: Annabelle is completely housebroken and crate trained. She has excellent leash manners and walks beautifully alongside her person. She also rides wonderfully in the car and settles in nicely for trips and outings. Her calm, well-mannered nature makes her a joy to take along on adventures. Health: Annabelle has reached her ideal weight and is in good health. Due to her age, she will not be spayed. Forever Home Wishlist: Physical fence not required Could do well in a house or apartment setting Able to be left home for a typical workday A family that enjoys a loving, involved companion Fun Fact: Annabelle believes every project needs a supervisor—and she is always ready to step in to make sure things are done with plenty of love and cuddles.
