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.

Story
The adoption fee listed above is completely sponsored by a generous donor, so her adoption fee is waived! Sasha is as sweet as they come. This beautiful, well-mannered 4-year-old girl has worked so hard with her trainer and has become an absolute leash-walking champ! She’s fully muzzle-conditioned and happy to wear it! Sasha has never shown any people aggression, but she does have a strong prey drive—so she’ll need to wear her muzzle anytime she’s outside for the safety of our small dog friends and any other small critters in your neighborhood. We’d love to see her future home have a tall privacy fence where she can safely enjoy regular off-leash time without her muzzle. She’s affectionate, loyal, and loves being close to her people—whether it’s relaxing after a long day or joining you on adventures. Sasha does well with other dogs with slow introductions. This sweet girl is gentle with her toys, easy to bathe, and full of love to give. If you’re looking for a loyal, well-trained companion who’s ready for her next chapter, Sasha is your girl! 📹 See her in action: 🔗 Watch Sasha’s playlist All CSHS pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped. To meet this sweet pup, fill out an application today!

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. If you are interested in adoption, your prompt responses are the best way to get through the adoption screening* *Adoption fees are payable in cash or money order only. No personal checks, credit cards / Square, etc. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DENY ADOPTIONS AT ANY POINT IN THE ADOPTION SCREENING PROCESS.* If you have read this far, you are ready to start the adoption process!

Story
Meet Misty! She's a smart lady who is smart as a whip! She's crate trained, mastered many commands (sit, down, off, mat, enough, go to your room, here, all done- more than most kids :). She loves to run, play fetch and be wherever you are! She's a year and a half old, and was lucky enough to have professional training donated to help her find her forever home. Whoever adopts her will receive at least one free hand off session from her trainer to help her transition go perfectly! Her ideal family would be somewhat active (she needs to run around a yard at least a few times per day). She gets along well with other dogs, but calmer dogs are best. Misty loves to play, but she can get very excited if the other dog is too energetic! She would do well with older children. Younger children and cats would require a lot of supervision. Her trainer thinks she would be a great agility dog, but she is smart enough to do anything you want to train her to do! She will require some active parenting to teach her the rules of your house, because she is so smart, she may try to make her own activities if nothing fun is provided! She's potty trained now (we had some overnight accidents until she started going in her crate at night). She's a great dog with a good head on her shoulders, and she wants to know if you are the one for her! $200 In State Adoption Fee (in Texas) $400 Out of State Fee (includes Transportation to your area) $50 Temporary fuel surcharge.

Story
  Meet Mocha – A Gentle Soul with Special Needs Mocha is a 5-year-old spayed blue Great Dane with the softest heart and one of the most trusting, gentle temperaments you’ll ever meet. She truly adores people; whether you’re family or a brand-new friend, she greets everyone with quiet affection and complete trust. If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who bonds deeply with her humans, Mocha is your girl. Mocha is incredibly sweet, mild-mannered, and emotionally tender. She enjoys gentle play, short games of tug or chasing a stuffy for a few minutes at a time, but she’s not overly energetic. She is happiest being near her people and soaking up love.While Mocha is wonderful with humans, she does not enjoy high-energy, in-your-face dogs. Calm, respectful dogs with slow, structured introductions, especially senior or low-energy companions are welcomed. She gains confidence once she knows a dog.  Special Feeding Needs Mocha has a history of intestinal struggles, so her diet is extremely important. She does not need expensive prescription food, but she must remain on a very low-fat diet (5% fat or less).• She does best on soaked low-fat kibble (“mush”) paired with low-fat canned food• Food must be fully soaked for several hours or overnight• She currently eats 4–5 small meals per day• Most canned foods are too high in fat for her—only specific low-fat formulas are safe Because of her condition, Mocha will need an adopter who is committed to:• Careful food selection• Multiple daily feedings• Consistency and monitoring Home & Lifestyle NeedsMocha requires a home where someone is present most of the day to maintain her feeding and potty schedule.• She needs to go outside every 3–4 hours• While she is now housebroken and understands not to go inside, she physically cannot hold it too long• With proper water management and frequent potty breaks, she can stay accident-free Mocha is incredibly smart and resourceful, especially when food is involved, so secure food storage is a must!  The Ideal Home Mocha will thrive in a home that offers:• A calm environment• Low-energy or possibly no other dogs• A structured feeding routine• A flexible schedule for frequent potty breaks• A family that understands medical management and is ready to continue her care The Heart of It All Mocha is truly one of a kind—a soft, soulful, deeply trusting dog who just wants to love and be loved. Her needs are unique, but so is the bond she offers in return. For the right home, Mocha will be an extraordinarily loyal, gentle, and devoted companion. If you have the time, patience, and heart to give this special girl what she needs, Mocha will give you everything she has in return.  ##2627397##
