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
Kota here! That’s right, I have finally put on enough weight to begin the hunt for my forever home!  I am a 3 year old neutered male Great Dane. I have a fawn coat with Merle splotches aka freckles on my ears.  When I first came into rescue I came from a neglect case and was found  tied to a tree, emaciated, with many parasites and open sores. I slowly gained weight but initially had a hard time understanding I don’t need to fight for my food. I showed resource guarding behaviors but after being neutered and getting to a healthy weight I am much more comfortable with other dogs around food.  I need a family who is confident and comfortable implementing boundaries around food and resources such as furniture, beds, etc. Doing so will help me learn I don’t need to protect these things in a new living situation. I am comfortable sharing all of these things in my foster home now. I currently eat my meals in my kennel so I don’t have to worry about sharing food and prefer to continue to eat in a safe space by myself. I can however happily sit and wait for a treat with other dogs around me! I do love to play tug and share toys with my foster brother and sister.  I am learning how to play appropriately. I can be a bit vocal when I get very excited but I listen to my foster parents when they tell me to calm down. I love to wrestle with other non-dominant dogs. I would probably do best with dogs over 25 pounds due to my size, energy and play style.  I LOVE human attention and snuggles. I am a smart boy who is kennel trained, potty trained and I know sit, down, stay, off and out. I love to play fetch in the yard. I LOVE vet visits - again give me all the human attention always! Foster Mama has been working with me on patience for my meals. I know I need to sit and wait until she tells me “ok” for my food. I am also learning “4 on the floor” as in an be a bit jumpy with my favorite people. I just am so excited to see them I can’t contain myself! Even though I am 3 I am a higher energy boy who loves to run and play. I would love an active family.  Recently I have started going to the local indoor dog park and have done SO well playing with other dogs and meeting all the new human friends.  Kota will be most successful with a family who will continue to utilize a crate, attend training classes, and is willing to continue to work on his socialization.  I am currently in foster care in the Twin Cities.  To learn more about me reach out to my rescue! ##2208464##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Ruby, a spirited 1-year-old female Great Dane who will be arriving from Louisiana in February! This big girl is a social butterfly, getting along wonderfully with other dogs and can be around cats if supervised. While her family loves her immensely, it has been challenging keeping her out of the chicken coop, as she has a high prey drive and a knack for going after fresh chicken dinners on the farm! Ruby can clear a 6-foot fence, so ensuring she has a secure yard is essential. She adores her canine fur siblings and loves to play, making doggy daycare a fantastic option for her in her new home. With her fully vetted status, spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative, Ruby promises a lifetime of love for the lucky adopter!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All potential adopters must fill out  the adoption application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Split – A Stunning Giant with Zero Concept of Personal Space! Split is a breathtaking Blue Merle and White Great Dane, around 1 year old and weighing in at 100 pounds. He came from a Louisiana breeder alongside his buddy, Bean, and is currently in a Texas rescue awaiting his ride to Minnesota. This big boy is in need of a foster or forever home—someone who understands giant breeds and is ready to help him become the best version of himself! Like Bean, Split has had no formal training and will need an adopter willing to work on his manners. He’s still learning the ropes when it comes to leash walking and basic obedience, and he has a habit of helping himself to food left within reach. He also has absolutely no concept of personal space—if you sit down, expect him in your lap, leaning against you, or sprawled at your feet like he weighs nothing. And if you take him for a walk? His head will be right in your face, making sure you know he’s there every step of the way! Despite his lack of training, Split is a social, fun-loving dog who enjoys playing with other pups and staying active. He’ll thrive in a home with structure, patience, and plenty of love. Split is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered—ready to start his new life! If you have Great Dane experience and are willing to invest time in training, Split will be a loyal and loving (and very clingy!) companion. Are you the special person who can give this goofy, affectionate giant the forever home he deserves?Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All potential adopters must fill out  the adoption application.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Bean – Your Big, Goofy Best Friend! Bean is a 100-pound, 1-year-old giant who came from a Louisiana breeder alongside his buddy, Split. Currently in a Texas rescue, Bean is awaiting transport to Minnesota, where he’ll need a foster or forever home. He’s a big, lovable goofball with a lot of energy and an even bigger personality! Bean has had no formal training and will need an experienced handler—preferably someone familiar with Great Danes or other giant breeds—who can help him learn some much-needed manners. Right now, he’s an expert at counter-surfing, doesn’t have the best leash skills, has no personal barriers and has zero obedience training. That said, Bean absolutely loves playing with other dogs and thrives in an active environment. He’s a busy guy who enjoys fun and interaction, but he’ll need a patient, committed adopter to guide him in the right direction. Bean is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered—ready to start his journey to a REAL forever home. If you’re willing to put in the work, Bean will no doubt reward you with a lifetime of love, loyalty, and laughs.
