Great Dane puppies and dogs in Chaska, Minnesota

🐾 Meet Darcy! 🐾 Darcy is a young Great Dane mix with a gentle soul and a heart that really comes alive around other dogs! 💕 Darcy is a bit on the bashful side, but when she settles in, she is the definition of "best girl in the world." Despite her background, she's quickly learning that people are pretty dang great. Playing is THE BEST. But, with the exception of a few zoomies around the living room, Darcy's inside play is respectful. She matches the play style of her doggy friends perfectly. Outside, Darcy wants to RUN, stop to sniff, and then RUN AGAIN - what good are those long legs if she can't use them? Now, Darcy isn't the type of dog who wants to go to breweries, family get togethers, or hiking. But she DOES want someone who will be just as happy to see her as she is to see them after a long day at work. Want an excuse to leave an event early to get home to your 4-legged bestie? Darcy is that excuse. Want someone to share a snack and watch your latest guilty pleasure with? Darcy is IN. Have some patience to give to the sweetest girl on the planet and get an incredible bond in return? Look no further. She LOVES other dogs, and would do great with cats and respectful kids. Darcy has also learned to LOVE her kennel! The best things come when she's in there - food, snacks, delicious things to chew on, and honestly sometimes just a nice quiet, dark place to nap hits the spot. Darcy is potty trained, too! She's too shy to make a big fuss when she wants to go out, so you'll have to get her on and keep her on a schedule, but she'll learn that schedule quickly. If you’re looking for a gentle giant with a playful side and a whole lot of love waiting to shine through, Darcy might just be your girl! 🐶💗 All our pups are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, 4DX negative (if older than 6 months), dewormed and microchipped.

Meet Coco! ❤️ Coco is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves nothing more than being with her people. She’s a wonderfully content companion who is happy to go for a walk, run around the backyard, or simply hang out at home. She’s quiet and well-behaved in the house, doesn’t chew on things, and knows when it’s time to settle in for the night. Coco definitely knows how to ask for attention! She may jump up for a hug or hop into your lap before rolling over for her favorite belly rubs. She’s working on keeping all four paws on the floor when saying hello, but her enthusiasm is pretty adorable. She loves playing in the backyard and will happily chase a toy. She’s even learned the “return” part of fetch, so she’s making great progress on becoming a fetching pro! Coco enjoys playing with other dogs and can be a fun companion, although she can get a little jealous when sharing attention. Sometimes her people just need to make sure everyone gets their fair share of pets! She could also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only. Coco is house-trained, knows her basic commands, and is working on her “stay.” She also settles beautifully in her crate and has made great progress with feeling comfortable there. Coco can be a little unsure of some men when she first meets them and may give a small growl when she’s nervous. She does best with a slow, low-pressure introduction—having a new person sit down and let her approach on her own terms helps her feel much more comfortable. Once Coco decides you’re okay, though, you’ll discover the absolute best girl: affectionate, loving, and ready to soak up all the attention she can get. Coco is a wonderful companion who simply wants to be near her people. Give her a little patience when meeting new people, plenty of belly rubs, and a spot by your side, and Coco will happily show you what a special girl she is. 💕

Betty has been with us since July. We knew she would be a long-term foster because she arrived heartworm positive, so we took our time getting to know her and helping her settle in. Thankfully, Betty has never met a stranger — she fit right in from day one! The very first thing you should know about Betty is that she is one of the sweetest dogs.  She is a laid-back girl who loves the simple things in life: a cozy dog bed, sunshine, the outdoors, squeaky toys, a good walk, and most of all, her people. Betty is a true couch potato with a love for leisurely walks right beside her humans. She is also a first-class clinger. If you’ve ever wanted a giant, loving shadow following you around the house, Betty is your girl! She is a lover, not a fighter, and she absolutely thrives on being close to the people she loves. And yes — she is a BIG girl! Betty will happily assume a prominent place in your family and soak up every bit of love and attention you’re willing to give her. If you’re willing to share your couch or bed, she will be absolutely delighted. ❤️ Ruby is: Potty trained Great on a leash Wonderful with dogs big and small Great with children Loving with adults Comfortable meeting new people Enjoys regular trips to the dog park with her foster family Good around farm animals Cat-tentative, but dog-savvy cats may be a good fit Betty does beautifully both at home and out and about. She loves meeting new people and dogs and has proven to be an easygoing, adaptable girl. She doesn’t ask for much — just a family who will love her, include her in their lives, take her for walks, give her a comfy place to nap, and let her be as close to them as possible. Great Dane lovers, Betty is waiting for you!  She has spent enough time being someone’s foster girl. Now she’s ready for the forever home she deserves. Apply to meet Betty — you’ll be so glad you did! Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.   ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com> ADOPTION EVENTS:      Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend.  Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/adoptionprocess/   Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN.  All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience.  If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website  www.underdogrescuemn.com/foster-applications  and fill out a foster application. NUTRITION: Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets.  All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet.  All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal.

💜 Come meet me at our Adoption Event at Apple Jack Orchards in Delano on Saturday, 10/17 from 2-5pm! 💚 💜 Come meet me at our Adoption Event at Leisen Family Farm in River Falls, WI on Sunday, 10/18 from Noon - 3:00pm! 💚 Age: Estimated 18 months old Weight: 108 lbs. Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Yes, dog-savvy cats only Kid friendly: Yes, older/considerate children only Potty trained: Yes Crate trained: Working on it! Meet Mater! Big Dog. Bigger Heart. Absolutely No Concept of Personal Space. If you've ever wanted a 100+ pound best friend who will love you with his whole heart (and possibly his whole body), Mater is your guy! Mater is an approximately 18-month-old Great Dane/Mastiff mix with a goofy personality, a curious nature, and all the grace of a baby giraffe. He's friendly, affectionate, and absolutely loves his people. He's the kind of dog who doesn't just want to be part of your family. He wants to be right there beside you, soaking up every belly rub and bit of attention you're willing to give. Mater is still figuring out this whole indoor dog thing, and he's off to a great start. He hasn't had a single potty accident in his foster home, despite spending most of his life outside. He's still learning his manners, though, and sometimes forgets just how much dog he is. He loves playing with other dogs, but his enthusiasm can be a little overwhelming. Imagine a giant toddler who hasn't quite figured out that not everyone appreciates a full-contact friendship. Mater's ideal family will have a good sense of humor, plenty of patience, and a willingness to help him channel all that big-dog energy. He's still young and has a lot to learn, but he's also got so much love to give. With some consistency, guidance, and a family committed to helping him succeed, this goofy guy will make one lucky family an incredible companion. Most of all, Mater is looking for someone who will love him just as fiercely as he'll love them. Because once this big guy decides you're his person, you're going to have one very devoted (and very large) best friend. Adoption Fee: $495

Meet Zeppelin!  This "Heartbreaker" has a "Whole Lotta Love" to give you!  Zeppelin will definitely be there for "Good Times Bad Times" and all the times in between.  While we would call him just a big bundle of love, Zeppelin is an 82 pound Great Dane mix.  This one year old could play all day, but "In the Evening" he just wants to snuggle up with his person/people.  He hasn't had any accidents in the house and does really well in a kennel.  He is learning how to walk on a leash and basic commands.  Zeppelin has spent most of his life in a rescue thinking to himself,"Your Time is Going to Come" to have a family of your own. Zeppelin is currently living with a family with children, 3 other dogs and a cat and gets along with everyone. I could "Ramble On" but I don't want to leave you "Dazed and Confused."  Just know that bringing Zeppelin home will definitely be a "Celebration Day."   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
