Story
Hi, my name is Stormy and I am from Georgia! Stormy is still settling in and we are getting to know more about her everyday. Currently, her favorite pass times include occupying a dog bed that is a size too small, laying in the grass and occasionally chewing a stuffed toy. She is a very sweet girl and prefers to know where her people are. She has done well being introduced to our dogs and does her best to interact appropriately for her size. She can be somewhat clumsy so medium-large dogs make better companions for her. From the foster: Stormy is still working on her confidence while walking on a leash so it may be nice if her forever home has a fenced in yard. Stormy does not like her crate but settles once she is in. She may not need to be crated once settled in her home.

Story
Benny is a joyful, playful pup full of energy and always ready for his next adventure! He loves squeaky toys and will happily bounce around the yard or play a game of fetch to burn off some of that fun-loving energy. He’s great with kids and other dogs, making him a wonderful addition to a family. Benny is already house trained and crate trained—such a smart boy! He’s currently working on his basic commands and will need a family committed to continuing his training and helping him polish his manners. With his long legs like a Great Dane and a sleek Lab-like coat, Benny is as handsome as he is athletic. He would thrive in an active home where he can get plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation. After a day of fun, Benny is more than happy to hang out with his people and soak up all the love. If you’re looking for a happy, energetic, and affectionate companion, Benny just might be your perfect match! Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
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.

Story
Hey there, I am Gordy aka Gordon (when I’m not listening) and Gordito Crunch (when my foster mama is playing with me)! I am a 5 year old Great Dane/Great Pyrenees mix. That just means I’m extra great of course! I have the Great Dane height and body but a Great Pyrenees head with the Pyrenees shedding.  I was originally surrendered as a puppy due to having special back legs. I was adopted to a wonderful family but returned back to rescue because of my sensitivity to frequent visitors. I get that from the Great Pyrenees side - I feel the need to protect my home and yard.  I love hard and love attention from my humans but don’t enjoy people I don’t know initially when they enter my home. I take my job of protecting the home seriously and need my humans to prove to me that they can control and protect the house so I don’t have to worry about it. I really respect boundaries and expectations that are presented to me by my humans!  I  graduated a 5 week board and train program  in 2023. I have strong obedience skills and am looking for a home who can hold me accountable to those skills. I know how to walk well on leash, the place command, heel, come and all of the other skills I need to be a well mannered boy. I am trained with an eCollar and a prong collar for walking. My future family should be comfortable with those training tools.  I really love to play with toys and other dog friends. I’m a total goofball but have shown resource guarding over food with other dogs. I prefer to eat my food and bones in my kennel or in a separate room from other dogs however, as I get older I am much more relaxed. I am also good with cats though have never lived with one.  I really love my kennel. I will sleep there at night, when my foster parents are gone or when there are visitors at the house. I can also be left out to free roam at night though I prefer to sleep next to my foster parents bed or in the hallway so I can keep a watchful eye on my humans.  Remember how I was surrendered as a puppy due to having special legs? Well, I still have special back legs. I was born with slightly twisted femurs so I walk a bit differently and have arthritis in my back knees. I love to run and play but can be sore after playing all day long so I occasionally take gabapentin to help. I also require daily joint supplements to help my bones stay healthy. I have a pet insurance policy that will be transferred to a potential adopter - they will be expected to continue to keep that in place after adopting me.  Foster Mama Here:Gordy is the bestest boy. We fostered him when he was a puppy as well. We do not let him greet new visitors at our house and require him to stay on his bed in a “place” while visitors are here or in his kennel. He does like to meet people slowly and at a good pace. We would walk his adoptive family through the intro process that he is successful with. Once he knows and trusts you he will forever welcome you as a family member of his.  Gordy has so much potential and loves so hard. But he will require owners who can set strict boundaries in the home and hold him accountable. His breed and genetics make him want to protect his home and people but if you a set boundaries he is such a great listener. We walk him on a prong collar and he is eCollar trained. His adopters will need to commit to continued use of these training tools and also meeting with his board and train trainer to learn about everything he knows. Gordy is muzzle trained. He is great at the groomer! Gordy loves the snow and playing outside. His favorite is his doggy pool in the summer. We have 4 other dogs in our home and he plays with all of them.  Gordy lived with kids in his first home. He was very protective over them so we do not recommend he go to a home with children under the age of 12. He could thrive in the country as he will bark when he sees humans and dogs walking by the home. ##954057##
