Story
 Tiny is not a clever name as he is far from that! This beautiful, 2 year young boy, weighs in at about 95 pounds! His brindle coat is soft against you when he does the traditional “Dane lean”. His initial response around someone new is his deep bark, sometimes mixed with a little bit of a growl, but he warms up very quick! Sometimes he can’t contain his excitement! With most large breeds, anxiety comes with the package and he has some anxiety being in the shelter environment. He loves his humans, and just strives for that affection. He loves to give hugs, which after he embraces you, it’s hard to get mad about him jumping on you. He knows some basic commands - he comes and sits, can even stay, and he is working on leash etiquette - he seems smart and eager to please.  Tiny is the epitome of a gentle giant, and all bark and no bite! He is looking for a home with lots of love, patience and consistency to let his personality shine. Someone with large breed experience would also be beneficial for this handsome boy. He has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia, which is common for all bigger breeds. It opens up the potential for some extensive surgery in his future, but it is not guaranteed. Don’t let this handsome, loyal boy pass you by!  If you would like to meet me, please visit our website and complete the pre-adoption application.  Once it has been processed then we can make a date to get together! All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm tested (if over 2 years old), vaccinated, dewormed, flea and tick treated, microchipped and more before adoption. Our adoption policies include: Application, Vet Reference, Landlord approval & Criminal Background Check. We do not do same day adoptions. We request that you call for an appointment after your application has been approved to come and visit the dog of your choice. If you have a dog currently, you should bring him/her along to meet the new dog so we can see how everyone interacts.  Please visit our website for additional information. The online application can be found at :https://hsburnettcty.org/adoption-guidelines/April 25, 2024, 2:05 pm

Story
Hi Friends! My name is Greyson, and I was part of the Mini Van 9. I am a male Great Dane that is approximately 4 years old. If you are looking for a funny guy with a great personality and a willingness to learn than I am your guy. I am a cute tall boy that loves attention. My interests are eating water, wiggling my butt, running with my Dane friends, and sassing when I am told to wait. I am learning new commands with my foster mom, and she says I’m the goodest boy. I do have a happy tail so watch out when I get too excited. I am fully potty trained, and crate trained, but I will holler for a little bit. I also like to sleep on the couch or my dog bed at night, so you don’t have to worry about me taking up your whole bed. Now a nap, that is another story, move over because I like to snuggle for midday nap time. While I do get along very well with my Great Dane friends in the house, I am seeking a home with no other pets to set me up for the best success. Unlike other dogs that need to be an only pet, I am easy to walk, rock a patio or brewery, can meet new dog friends, I just really rather have my own space at home, someone told me that means more attention for me! Absolutely no small animals at my forever home, that includes chickens, cats, and the neighrbors cats. (Another dane in the home may be considered to a dog savy home, absolutely no other pets under 75lbs.) I would like to find a forever home that will work on my training.  ##1453417##

Story
Hi, I'm Cinder! I'm a tall 1.5 year old Great Dane! My foster mom says that I'm a really good puppy. I think she means that I'm really easy going and not always full of the devil for my age. She also tells me all the time that I'm a very good girl. I'm friendly with everybody and I'm always happy. I can be talkative at times but I'm not sassy. I am perfectly potty trained. I sleep on my dog bed but really would prefer to cuddle with my people in bed. I am currently living with 2 special needs female Danes, 2 kiddos 11 & 15, and my foster mom and dad. I have a medical condition called mega esophagus. It's really not too bad and my foster mom is helping me manage it. I take some medication for it, she soaks my kibble in water, feeds me from a raised feeders, and she even makes me treats made from jello because I can't tolerate crunchy treats. I probably won't grow out of this condition but I don't think it will get any worse. I would like a friend to play with in my new home and maybe even a kiddo or two. I like to play fetch, tug of war, and rough and tumble with one of the dogs here. Come meet me and I know you'll just want to take me home! ##1459688##

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 an almost 3 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 recently was surrendered back to rescue because I can be a strong personality. I get that from the Great Pyrenees side.  I love hard and love attention from my humans but don’t enjoy people I don’t know initially. I take my job of guarding the home seriously and need my humans to communicate and prove to me that they can control and protect the house so I don’t have to worry about it.  I recently spent a month with a really nice lady who taught me really fun things like walking well on leash, a strong place command, heel, come and all of the other skills I need to be a well mannered boy.  I really love to play with toys and other dog friends as long as they are not dominant. 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.  I really love my kennel. I sleep there at night and when my foster parents are gone. I will counter surf if left unattended.  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 currently take anxiety meds daily. I have been on these since I was young to help with my desire to protect the home. These meds cost about $90 for a 90 day supply so any future adopter needs to be able to continue to pay for regular medications.  Foster Mama Here: Gordy is the bestest boy. We fostered him when he was a puppy as well. We do not let him greet visitors at our house and require him to stay on his bed in a “place” while visitors are here. He is also happy to stay in his kennel. He does like to meet people slowly and at a good pace. 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 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 has been thriving with a farm life and would do best outside of the city. ##954057##

Story
Hi! I'm Louis. I bet you are already wondering if I'm deaf and vision impaired due to my beautiful white coat. I am - but I don't know that. I'm a 1 year old neutered male. Currently in my foster home, I am living with 3 female Danes and 2 teenage human kids. It's great here - I love playing with the other dogs and the kids are pretty great too. My foster mom and dad are teaching me new things. I'm learning but still have a hard time avoiding that stuff they call human food on the counter. I am house trained and am working on kennel training. My foster mom says I would do well with someone who is home more often than not. I'm not a candidate for someone living in an apartment or townhouse as I make a lot of noise in my kennel. If the humans leave, I have to go to my kennel to make sure I'm safe and don't get into anything i shouldn't. I sleep on a dog bed at night but I would really love to snuggle with you and sleep in your bed. A fenced yard for me would be fantastic too so I stay safe. My foster mom says that if she already didn't have too many dogs she would keep me forever. Come meet me - I know you'll want to take me home. ##1793686##

Story
Marley is a big senior boy who is just looking for a couch to lay on, a yard to play in, and a human or two to love!  He has a lot of dog reactivity so he's not going to be the dog you can walk through your busy neighborhood with ease if there are dogs around, and he'll need to be put away if other dogs make their appearance to your home.  He has some arthritis in legs that is currently being monitored to determine if pain meds are needed.  He loves to zoomie around the yard, and loves extra snuggles on his own time.  Do you have it in your heart to take in an old boy?  ##1574597##
