Great Dane puppies and dogs in Minnetrista, Minnesota

Hi! I'm Hank! I'm from Kentucky! From his foster: Meet Hank! Hank is a loyal and loving Dane. He is a big goof who is content lounging on the couch all day with you, but also enjoys a stroll around the neighborhood. He is sweet and gentle towards my resident cat and strangers. He loves to nudge his head against his humans and will take over your entire couch or bed. He already knows sit, stay, and paw. Hank walks great on a leash, but due to his size and strength, he does slightly pull when he is excited. He loves to greet people on our walks, but displays some "stranger danger towards certain dogs. He does not lunge or growl, but will bark at the dog. For this reason, we have been avoiding interaction with other dogs. He is working hard on his leash training and reactivity, and responds well to positive reinforcement! Hank has not met any children yet, but I would imagine that he would do well with them given his calm demeanor. However, since he is a big boy, he has the ability to accidentally knock them over. He gets along well with cats, but would be best suited in a home with no other dogs. Hank can also be quite the escape artist from time to time. When trying to walk out the door, Hank will do his very best to put his head between you and the door so that he can get out and explore. Hank is a joyful boy who is on the search for his furever home. If you are looking for a cuddle buddy, someone to get your steps in with, or simply a companion that will make you smile everyday, Hank is the one for you!

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.  Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending!       Hi there! My name is Helena, and I’m a 4-month-old Great Dane weighing in at 27 pounds. Don’t let my size fool you—I’m going to grow into a big girl, probably over 100 pounds one day! Right now, I’m eating 3 cups of food a day, but that will likely double as I grow. I may come off as shy and a bit nervous, but I’m gaining confidence every day. I love following my foster sister’s lead and have even learned how to “sit” just by watching her! I’m a quick learner and very treat motivated. I can be a bit stubborn and like to do things on my terms, but I have plenty of toys and bones to keep me busy. I’m goofy, a little clumsy, and very laid back. I enjoy playing and snuggling with my humans and other pups, but I can also play independently if needed. I was once a stray, so potty training has taken some time, but I’m getting the hang of it. I now sleep through the night in my crate without accidents and haven’t had one in over a week! I do have some separation anxiety and tend to bark when left alone in my crate during the day. I use my loud voice to tell everyone to hurry up and get home so we can play some more. While I am learning how to walk nicely on a leash, a fenced yard isn’t required, but I would really appreciate it! I get along well with children under 12 years old, but I can be a bit clumsy and forceful, so I need to learn some manners. My people said that I would benefit from puppy training and that I’ll learn quickly with a brother or sister in the house to take cues from. I love playing with balls, stuffed toys, and bones. I like to pile them all in my bed and then sit on them—it’s pretty funny! I’m a typical puppy and get into everything, but I’m also a cuddle bug who aims to please. My foster mom describes me as a sweetheart with floppy ears, wrinkles, and long legs. It’s important for my future family to be familiar with Great Danes. While I’m a puppy now, I’ll grow into a big dog with specific needs. Feeding quality food, understanding health concerns like Wobblers, Bloat, and hip dysplasia, and being prepared for the costs of owning a giant breed are essential. Training is a must for a dog my size, and I promise I’ll be a wonderful addition to your family. Could you be my forever home? Love, Helena *I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready! **Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work! P lease 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.   This puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void.  We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion. Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee.  Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application. We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward. ***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.

Hi! My name is Gertie. I just arrived in Minnesota in early May and I’m loving it so far. I live with my foster mom, her two grown-up kids, and another dog, who’s three years old. She’s teaching me the ropes and I love it! So far I’m doing great with potty training. I haven’t had any accidents in the house or in my kennel. And speaking of my kennel, I love it! I sleep great in it and am learning to go in on a command. Because I’ve never been lucky enough to live with any humans, I’m just starting to learn the basic commands like sit, stay and down. I’m pretty smart so I don’t think it will take long! I also love to go on walks and sniff EVERYTHING! I am getting better on the leash every time we go. I can’t wait to find my forever home and give you all this love I have inside of me.--------------------------------------------"Flash Flood" PromoFor applications received now through 7/28/2024, Warrior Dog Rescue is reducing the adoption fee of all pups under 6 months old.
