Story
Meet Poppy! Poppy is a 3 year old Dane that was at a local surrender as a stray. We don't have a lot of info on her previous life but we do know she has had several litters. Poppy evaluated well at the shelter but sometimes in a shelter environment you don't always get a good read on a dog because they are stressed. Now...don't take that wrong...she is an amazingly sweet sweet girl! But... she is not so great with other dogs IN the home. She can go out in public and be around other dogs with a confident owner that is good at reading her signals if she is stressed. She doesn't bark or lunge or any of that nonsense unless she is with a "soft" owner and one where she feels they are not in control or confident. But... if a dog invades her space or their energy is too much she will let them know and fire off. Poppy LOVES her people and wants to be as close as she can. She is a first class cuddler! You need to keep food off the counters because this girl came in hungry and even though she is now getting regular meals she can counter surf like a pro! Since Poppy was a little rough around the edges we sent this beauty off to training. While she was there they worked on her being able to be OK around other dogs in public and also worked on desensitizing her on storms. Sister has some storm anxiety but if she is in her XXL kennel will settle. If you are at home and a storm rolls up...just put her in place with her place command and she will lay down and you won't hear a peep! Did we say how incredibly smart this girl is?? She is food motivated and would be great with a family that would want to continue training and keep her mind stimulated! Her trainer had a 5 month old and she was great with them...even gave her sweet kisses! Poppy rides great in the car, house trained and good on leash. Poppy is up to date on all vaccines, spayed and has had her stomach tacked to prevent gastric torsion. Poppy is being fostered in Concord NC with her trainer. He will provide extra training to her new owners and work with them and her on acclimating into a new home. Poppy needs a dog savvy owner that is confident and sets boundaries for her so she doesn't feel she needs to step up to do that. Poppy will require a fenced yard and no kids under the age of 12yrs. While she has been great with kids a home with lots of new kids in and out all the time would stress her. If interested in Poppy send us an email at  greatdanefriends.com*****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions. We require a fenced yard (exceptions made on a case by case basis - NO exceptions for puppies or deaf/vision impaired dogs - no invisible fencing), that stairs in the home be covered with some sort of slip resistant material to prevent injury, that all other animals in the home be up to date on vaccinations as well as spayed/neutered and that all dogs live inside as a part of the family. Our approval process consists of an application, vet and reference checks, phone interview and house check. Please email us for an application or if you have any questions.*****   September 20, 2024, 1:20 pm

Story
UPDATE***** Gus is a sweet and spunky just under year old boy who has been in the rescue since February. He has blossomed from a scared and insecure puppy with no boundaries and has made huge progress. He is a rough and tumble player and would love a home with another dog who loves to play, but would do equally well as an only dog in an active home. He loves going on adventures and is his foster dad’s Lowe’s buddy. When he’s done playing and trying to be a little mischievous, he loves to be sweet and cuddly with his foster siblings or whichever human is nearby. Gus will need a forever home dedicated to continuing training with him, and would do best without small children as he isn’t aware of his strength and size. He loves all dogs and all humans, and is a very curious boy working on becoming fully confident.    Gus is a ~seven month old Dane who came in very underweight and is now living his best toddler-teen Dane life. Full of energy and mischief, he is doing his best to learn boundaries and be a polite leash walker. He is crate trained and while he does do well out and about and takes redirection well, he’s also very agile and delights in squirming into exactly the places he shouldn’t be in so continued training, awareness and ability to keep him in a safe place while you are gone (crating or otherwise) is a must. He is a roughhouser and loves wrestling with his doggie foster siblings and playing with toys. He would do well with other dogs, or as an only dog in a home able to dedicate time to expending his high puppy energy! Due to his rambunctious nature and rough and tumble large puppy energy, he would do best in a home with no children or older children/teens. He is very sweet and cuddly in between bursts of energy, and his quick learning is serving him well as he grows. He will be (and already is) a magnificent dog!  **Giant breed experience required and a fenced yard.  If interested in adopting email us at info@greatdanefriends.com for an application*****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions.

Story
Grayson came to GDFRL after having been picked up as a stray and landed at a local shelter. He’s estimated to be about 11 months old, so he still needs to be neutered. He loves going for a walk, playing with his toys, and running around in the yard. He walks well on leash, but more training would be helpful. He rides well in the car but is hesitant at times about getting in and out. Grayson is house and crate trained. He is crated at night and when being left at home. He currently lives with four cats and is respectful of their space. He does not get on furniture, but it wouldn’t take much encouragement if you are okay with it! Grayson also has had some overnights at other fosters homes and LOVES other dogs and especially likes to run and chase!  Grayson is even good with birds!  Grayson has shown no resource guarding with food or toys. He is food/treat motivated and has quickly learned to sit before getting things he wants. He is good on leash and not reactive at all. He is a little shy around strangers, but has gained SO much confidence in his foster home that he is now MUCH better!. Grayson quickly attached himself to his foster mom and is generally more comfortable around females. He just needs a little more time and reassurance with males. He is a constant and loyal companion (Velcro)!  If interested in Grayson you can email us to start the application process at info@greatdanefriends.com.  A fenced yard is required and since he is on the shy side we would recommend no small fast moving kids 12 yr and up only.  He is being fostered in Charlotte NC*****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions.

Story
My name is Jack and I have been told I am quite handsome but I’ll let you be the judge of that. I am a one year old Dane or Dane/St. Bernard mix - my Momma didn’t talk much about Dad so that’s sort of a question mark. Being one year old though means I have a puppy brain in a big ol’ adult body. One of my favorite things is to invade your personal space and have my forehead kissed and be told what a good boy I am. My other favorite thing is to run around and jump on and mouth my foster mom. She has informed me that even if I have the softest, most gentle jowly mouth, it is still unacceptable. That puppy brain of mine is still working on trying to remember that. I have lots to learn still because my first family didn’t treat me very nice. I was hungry and hurt and the nice policeman told them to take me to the vet, but they didn’t care enough. That nice policeman cared though. He came and got me and I stayed at a place called “the shelter” for few months - it was great! They fed me three square meals a day ‘cuz they said a boy like me shouldn’t weigh only 95lbs. They gave me love and pets and lots of squeaky toys every single day - WOW! The judge man finally decided there was No way, José my first family was getting me back, so Great Dane Friends came to get me. Now I am ready to find a family to teach me everything a big dane puppy needs to know in this world and give me loads of love forever and ever. Here’s a few things my foster momma says I am already good at: – Housetraining - I had some accidents the first couple of days because I got confused ‘cuz the front door and the back door are basically in the same part of the house - what the heck! I scratched at the front door sometimes and sometimes I would stand by the back door but now me and foster mom have it all figured out and no more accidents - YAY! If you have a confusing door setup though, you might have to be patient at first but I promise we’ll get it figured out. – I might not have had the best start in life, but it hasn’t scarred me. So far I haven’t met a stranger and I don’t really get nervous in new situations. People seem to just want to love on me and I am A-OK with that. I haven’t been around any little kids yet with foster mom but she seems to think I would be OK with them. Just see above about the jumping and mouthing naughtiness that sometimes still gets the best of me. – So far, so good on meeting new dogs although when I see them out in the world I do feel the need to bark at them - and momma says I got a big bark. I’m still also getting used to my foster sister because I had to get some boy bits removed and I couldn’t play while I healed. Foster sister is a little cray, cray if you ask me. She makes growly sounds and jumps on my head but then when I jump back at her to play she screams like I’ve hurt her when I haven’t even laid a paw on her - she’s a tad bit dramatic. The cool thing she taught me though is how to sing with the sirens. It turns out that I have a very good voice and American Idol will definitely be in my future. – And then there’s kitties...They make delicious tootsie rolls and place them in a box for me. The kitties themselves are a bit concerning - they growl and hiss at me. I even very gently reached my paw up to touch a floofy tail and that did not go over well at all. I decided it was best to just walk away and soothe my hurt feelings with another tootsie roll. – Foster momma said she doesn’t quite trust me to be unsupervised in the house, but I am OK with hanging in the crate. I just prefer there to be a Kong stuffed with yummy things to make my confinement bearable. – If you would like to eat some of my kibble when I am having dinner, I will share with you. Ditto, if you want to look at my chew treat but please return it to me ‘cuz I reeeeeally like them. Since I share with you humans, I sort of assumed you all want to share with me, but foster momma said taking food from her plate is poor manners - UGH - so many rules!!! How is a young boy to remember them all?!?!? I’m right here waiting for you forever family, so just contact Great Dane Friends and they’ll put us in touch. Love, Jack.

Story
Meet Chiquita!  Chiquita came to us from a local shelter where she was brought in as a stray and had an injured leg. She was about 7 weeks old when we got her and this baby had a rough start!  It appears she had some sort of trauma and was limping on her right rear leg.  X rays didn't show anything much out of the ordinary so she was put on rest and pain meds.  She did get better and started playing and gaining muscle but something still wasn't right with her leg. So we had a ortho consult for her and they feel her ACL is partially torn.  So back to crate rest...SO hard for such a friendly playful puppy!!! But no worries...we will take care of everything BUT she has to wait for at least 3 more months to get follow up x rays to see if the growth plates are closing.  She is currently 4.5 months old and is a petite girl at about 30 lbs. She is super smart and very social.  She LOVES everyone she meets and is great with all dogs big and small! When interacting with others she is submissive but playful and respects other dogs cues if they have had enough of her puppy energy. She currently is in LOVE with her foster brother who is a huge Newfie. Her favorite thing to do is play but she also loves to snuggle and sleep right beside another dog or person. She is fully house trained, crate trained, walks well on leash and knows several basic commands already!  She is a super easy and chill puppy that would fit well into any household with other animals or would even be fine as an only dog.  She is the ultimate sweet and easy dog that people are dying to find.    If there was a local adopter we would consider adopting before her surgery and the rescue will still cover her surgery 100% when she is ready.  Otherwise she won't be ready for about 4-5 months... which sucks because she could be bonding with a forever family.  Chiquita is located in Mooresville NC and will require a fenced yard.  If interested in this sweet perfect pup email us at info@greatdanefriends.com for an application.  *****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions.
