Story
  Thor is a one-year-old Great Dane and Lab mix weighing 71 pounds, and his story already reads like the opening scene of a movie. Found running loose through a Tennessee neighborhood, this big, beautiful boy was moments away from tragedy when fate—and a young dog lover—stepped in. Twice Thor ran in front of her car, and instead of driving on, she stopped, opened her door, and called to him. Without hesitation, Thor leapt into the back seat as if he knew his life was about to change. And it did.   With no collar and no microchip, Thor became part of Critter Cavalry Rescue and stayed with the very woman who saved him. From the moment he was safe, his true nature began to shine. Thor is strikingly handsome, with chiseled features and expressive ears that nearly stand straight up, giving him a regal, alert look—like a show dog who wandered off the Westminster runway and into a superhero origin story.   But don’t let the model looks fool you. Thor is pure joy wrapped in a giant puppy body. He tosses toys into the air, pounces on squeaky treasures, and delights in balls and stuffed animals with the enthusiasm of a dog who is still discovering how fun life can be. He doesn’t quite realize how big or strong he is yet, but his heart is gentle and his spirit is eager.   Thor is intelligent, focused, and deeply people-oriented. When you work with him, he locks onto you completely, especially if treats are involved, which makes training both effective and fun. He is wonderful with other dogs, showing no dominance or alpha behavior, just friendly curiosity and easygoing charm. Recently neutered, Thor is still growing and will likely fill out into a solid 90-pound adult over the next year.   He is housebroken and currently learning that being alone doesn’t mean being abandoned, as crates aren’t quite his favorite place. Thor simply loves people and wants to be near them, soaking in companionship and reassurance. His liver-and-black coat shifts with the sunlight, turning heads wherever he goes, and making him unforgettable long after he’s passed by.   Thor is the kind of dog who comes into your life once and leaves a permanent mark on your heart. He is waiting for someone to guide him, shape him, and grow with him into the extraordinary companion he is clearly meant to be.     If you are interested in making this big boy a big part of your life please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Tell us where you live, city and state.   We adopt to Tennessee where our rescue is based and he is being fostered, but we also transport to the Northeast   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMarch 11, 2026, 12:09 am

Story
  Roo is a 2–3 year old Blue Merle Great Dane adult who weighs 85 pounds and was found abandoned by a well-known lake in Tennessee.  Someone rescued her from this terrible fate of no food or clean water and no place to be as she was wandering around the lake area very skinny and starved.  She was so grateful when someone took her home.  She then had different people foster her only for a few days at a time until this wonderful family saw her plight and need and said.....let us take her and foster her with a good rescue group.  Now this big girl named Roo has some stability in her life and has earned the nickname “Velcro dog.”  Of course this lost and abandoned girl who was deserted by a lake and then bounced a few times, wants to be right by your side and soak up every ounce of love and attention you’re willing to give her.  She will learn one day that noone is ever going to abandon her again.  This athletic girl has plenty of energy, loves to play with a happy spirit and and is an impressive olympic class jumper. She will thrive best in an active home.  Food definitely motivates her and this makes it super easy to train her and get her undivided attention. Roo is house-trained, crate-trained, cat-friendly, and absolutely loves to snuggle in the bed with her humans.    Roo bonds quickly and becomes very protective of her people so we will have tips on how to temper that zealous enthusiasm to claim you. She needs a family where she can be the queen of the castle and receive endless love and attention in return. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will stick by you through everything, Roo is your girl!       Please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested.  She is currently fostered in Tennessee and can be adopted locally and also can transport to a loving family that is northeast of Tennessee.  We transport almost weekly on the weekends.       PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comApril 21, 2026, 9:05 pm

Story
We are looking to rehome a VERY beautiful, VERY sweet, VERY active Great Dane named Lobo. He turned one year old in December (born 12/18/2024) and was given to us at the beginning of February of this year. We have all the medical paperwork for this beautiful boy from his previous owners and have not gotten him neutered yet because vets now recommend 18 to 19 months before neutering to prevent certain types of cancers down the line. My husband and I are away from home with work too much to accommodate the time needed with this gorgeous boy and want better for him than we can currently give. Lobo would do well in a household with no other animals as he is VERY energetic and will require a LOT of one-on-one attention and exercise. He is fully housebroken and crate trained but he needs work on walking on a leash without pulling as well as “jumping” when excited. We really want to find a forever home that will be a good fit for this big beautiful boy.

Story
  Meet Koa! This handsome 11-month-old Great Dane is all heart, all legs, and ALL teenage energy. Koa came to us when his college-student owner realized she didn’t have the time to give him the consistency he deserves. With lots of travel and bouncing between Rover stays, family, and friends, Koa hasn’t had much structure in his young life — but he’s soaking it up beautifully in his foster home. Like many adolescent Danes, Koa is in that “bratty teenager” phase. He’s sweet as can be, affectionate, and eager to please — he just needs guidance polishing those manners. The good news? He already knows sit and down, is crate trained, house trained, rides wonderfully in the car, and responds well to direction. He’s smart and ready to learn! Koa gets SUPER excited to see other dogs. He hasn’t had much experience, so his greeting style is best described as… enthusiastic He’s not aggressive in any way — just big, bouncy, and a little over-zealous. If another confident dog tells him “no thank you,” he’s very respectful. But if a dog runs? Well… he thinks it’s playtime! We’re actively working on his social skills and he’s making progress. He also LOVES toys and will happily entertain himself (or you!) with a good play session. After he burns off that puppy energy, he’s a total cuddle bug. &#226&#156&#168 Koa’s perfect home: Active family committed to continuing his training Giant breed experience required A securely fenced yard where he can safely zoom and stretch those long legs Koa is a wonderful young Dane who just needs structure, consistency, and a family ready to guide him into the amazing adult dog he’s going to be. If you’re ready to give this sweet, goofy boy the forever home he deserves, please email info@greatdanefriends.com . Let’s help Koa find his perfect match! *****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions.

Story
Meet Daphne — Your Future Adventure Buddy & Cuddle Queen! Looking for a dog who will keep up with your active lifestyle and snuggle you like a pro at the end of the day? Meet Daphne — a 9–10 month old Dane/Pittie mix with a HUGE personality packed into a 60-pound body! Daphne came to us from a shelter in Georgia where she was at risk of euthanasia, and she’s been making the most of her second chance ever since. She’s full of life, curiosity, and love — the kind of dog who wants to be right in the middle of whatever you’re doing. If it’s happening, Daphne wants in! &#226&#156&#168 What makes Daphne special? • Sweet, affectionate, and LOVES to cuddle (yes, she thinks she’s a lap dog ) • Happy-go-lucky personality that will make you smile every day • Smart and learning quickly with consistent training • Already working on leash manners, “sit,” and polite routines • Sleeps well in her kennel and settles nicely at bedtime &#226&#154&#161 What she needs from her forever home: • An active family ready to help her burn off that puppy energy • A confident, consistent owner who understands strong, high-drive dogs • Continued training to help her polish her manners (she’s eager and improving!) • A home that can manage her prey drive — fast-moving things are VERY exciting to her &#239&#184&#143 • Ideally, another well-mannered dog to help show her the ropes Daphne LOVES to play — fetch is her favorite (we’re working on the “bring it back and drop it” part ). She’s strong, spirited, and a little stubborn, but with structure and love, she’s blossoming into an incredible companion. At the end of the day, Daphne is just a big baby who wants attention, affection, and a place to belong. If you’re ready for a loyal, energetic, and endlessly entertaining best friend, Daphne might just be your girl.  **A fenced yard is required so Daphne has a safe space to run and zoom! email us at info@greatdanefriends.com for an application. #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #AdoptDaphne #ForeverHomeWanted *****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions.
