If interested in meeting this puppy an application is required. https://www.cognitoforms.com/New2UCRU/CRUApp to fill out applications. Inquires sent to crurescue@gmail.com They are run separate from New2U and require separate location. Harlow is the sweetest gentle giant you could meet. She is a Harlequin, Great Dane, who is five months old and will be an extra large breed when grown. Harlow is completely blind, but is still able to use her other senses to navigate her world. She will need another friendly, large breed dog to show her the ropes. She will also require a fenced in yard as she needs to learn her space. Harlow would do best in a home that has a predictable schedule and layout so that she can learn her space. Harlow is working on potty training and his crate trained through the night. She does well with cats, dogs and children, but due to her large size would do better with children who are over 10. If you think Harlow could be a great fit for your family, please use the link to apply!

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.

Hades

Great Dane

Story
Hades is a loving and sweet, however, slightly anxious 2-year-old Great Dane. He came to us 1 1/2years ago by way of a private owner where we also got our other Great Dane. He gets along well with both cats and dogs. We found that the rambunctious nature of small children is too much for his anxiety. He never bit but has lunged and nipped at both small children and strangers. He has never had any formal training, as have none of our other dogs. This has only been a problem with Hades. He does not respond very well to leashes but he does know basic commands ie sit, stay. He is crate trained.Since he does not get along with the small children in our home, we have to have him crated unless his mistress Amanda is home. She is the one he responds to the best in the house and is his main caretaker. Hades has all his shots up to date and he is neutered. He gets bathed and groomed regularly. He has a lot of energy and would do well with adults and hopefully a fenced in yard.

Story
Hades is it 2-year-old purebred, neutered, male,Great Dane with all his shots up to date. He is high energy and loves to play with his toys, as well as other dogs, but also loves to cuddle. He is an anxious dog and needs to warm up to strangers. Although we've had him since he was a pup and has grown up around our children, he does not do well with small children which is why we are adopting him out. He has never bitten anyone but has nipped at our little one. He has no formal training but is crate trained and been walked on a leash minimally. He would do well with a couple that has no small children or a single adult with a yard for him to run and play in. He is not on medicine for anxiety but we find that chaos of a large family and three other dogs is just too much for him. We have another great dane his age and they get along very well and he also is good with our little wiener dog too. He is a very loving dog and would do well with a lot of attention,love and room to play in.

**Can arrive to Niagara/Buffalo area by Christmas! Apply today!** Sweet Bear is a great boy! He's friendly, funny, and great with other dogs. He's beautiful and will be an amazing addition to your family. Bear is great with dogs, cats, and kids. He's walking well on leash and loves to play. He started off life in a rough way. He was left as a young pup on the doorstep of a home that did what they could to help him with a safe place to stay. Our rescue was tipped to his situation and although we were quite full, we made room for one more. What a gem this sweetheart is developing into. We estimate he was born around 4/1/25 and what an easy boy he is to love. He has a gentle and sweet nature. We can drive this pup to your area! If you like this cutie please send us an inquiry here and we'll give you a call and video chat with the pup!

Story
Looking for a loyal companion who will shower you with love every single day? Allow us to introduce Kelly, a stunning girl with a heart full of affection and a spirit that lights up every room she enters. And SPEAKING of showers.... SHE LOVES THE WATER :) Kelly is a love bug through and through. One of her favorite things in the world is giving warm, gentle hugs. Lean in, and she’ll nestle right into you, as if to say, “You’re my person.” She absolutely adores being close to her humans, and there’s nothing she enjoys more than curling up beside you after a day full adventures. Scratches? Yes, please! Behind the ears, under the chin, or right at the base of her tail—Kelly is always up for a good scratch session, and she’ll reward you with the sweetest look of pure bliss. Kelly is the kind of dog who will quickly become your shadow—in the best way. She’s loyal, calm, and always eager to be part of the action, whether it’s a quiet evening at home or a walk around the neighborhood. She thrives on companionship and would do best in a home where she gets plenty of attention, affection, and quality time with her people. She's the perfect blend of affectionate and mellow—loving and eager to please. Kelly is ready to start her next chapter with someone who will cherish her as much as she’ll cherish them. In return, she promises endless cuddles, constant companionship, and unconditional love. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
