Story

Tall Titan, is a strong and remarkable Warrior, a dog that has fought to be alive and walking today on this earth. He has willed himself to come from the depths of pain and starvation to become this handsome boy that you see right now. He is our Super Hero Pup and our example of a creature that has never given up even when it would have been easier to just go to sleep and never wake up. When Titan came to a rescue lady’s house that Critter Cavalry knows, this boy was malnourished and just a skeleton of the puppy he should be as a Great Dane. The lady has a love for the Danes and she asked CCR to please take him into our rescue before she fell in love and couldn’t let him go. She had enough dogs and just felt the temptation to keep him was too great. We agreed and soon Titan was ours to raise and get prepped for a new home and family. Shortly afterwards his foster family noticed he was struggling to walk and his joints were inflamed. Titan was taken to several vets before receiving the diagnosis of Hypertrophic osteodystrophy (HOD). He has been put on a regimen of medications, high calorie food and hydrotherapy and is now running, jumping and playing with other dogs. His favorite things to do are play with toys, run and nap in the sun. Titan is a large dog and will do best in a home with another large dog or two that he will be able to play with. He will continue to need medication intermittently for some time and to be followed by a veterinarian. If you have large breed dog experience and are willing to take on this fellas special needs please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue. He is not house trained to hold longer than 4 hours. He needs to eat separately at mealtimes and he needs to learn better how to play with his toys in a group setting if there are other dogs. If he is the only dog then there is no special monitoring. Titan rides like a champ in the car or truck and he is definitely crate trained with good dog/name recall. He would be easier to watch in the yard if you had a real physical fence installed since he likes to wander off out of curiosity. Please email Critter Cavalry at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested. He is great with young children/boys that are rough and tumble and lots of noise. 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.comJuly 26, 2024, 2:09 pm

Story

Quick Facts: Estimated Birthday: 1/24/2023 Breed: Great Dane Mix Size: roughly 105 pounds House Trained: Yes Athena came to the rescue after an amazing bystander overheard her owners planning to dump her at a dog park! This hero bystander jumped in and contacted us about taking in the dog. Athena may be a big girl, but she only has two speeds: 1. Play like crazy with her foster dog brothers, and 2. cuddle on the couch with a chew toy. Her favorite activity is playing with her foster dog brother, who is roughly about her size. She loves to cuddle with him and run in the yard with him. She is also a trained shadow… some may say “velcro dog”…and will follow you around the house. Athena is very dog-friendly to both large and small dogs. She walks well on a leash but does not enjoy car rides. She won’t fight it, but it’s her least favorite activity. She has not been cat tested. Athena is fully potty-trained, but she firmly believes that the rain will kill her, and sometimes, getting her to go out in storms can be a challenge. Athena would probably not be best left alone without supervision. She is a bit of a chewer. She is crated trained and sleeps in her crate. However, Athena is very smart and has learned how to escape a regular crate. She will need a heavy-duty, double-enforced one in her new home. Before emailing- please read: - Yes, this dog is available for adoption - The adoption fee for Athena is $465 - Apply at c2cnd.org - The adoption fee covers their age appropriate shots, microchip, deworming, spay/neuter, and any other medical expenses while in our care. - Local adopters only. Due to our thorough adoption process including home visits, we limit our adoptions to local families in the greater Charlotte area. - If you have any additional questions, email us at dogs@c2cnd.org and we will respond as soon as possible!

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.***** July 22, 2024, 3:10 pm

Story

Meet Jackson! He is a 2 1/2-3 yr old stray, who was found hiding under a tree, on the side of a highway. He had no microchip & was weighed in at only 70lbs. He has been steadily gaining weight (97lbs now) & enjoys fresh foods added to his regular dog food. Nothing but the best for this boy! He also takes treats very gently & is learning basic commands. He would love a family who is willing to continue his training & work on his socialization. He loves praise & is attentive to learning. When he landed in rescue, he was scared of everything, even squeak toys. But he loves bones, a stuffed Kong, & some plush toys. Jackson is currently being fostered with a cat & does well...until the cat decides to be the Cat BOSS...causing him to retreat to safe quarters. He is not confrontational at all. Jackson does well with other dogs & is so cute when he play bows with them. He also rides in the car like a champ. And did you notice his Merle marking freckles on his muzzle & ears? So handsome! Jackson is being fostered in Thomasville NC.

Story

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.

Story

Sweet and cuddly Cash came in neglected and underweight from a family that had a new baby. Despite that he demonstrates unconditional love for humans and his Dane foster sister. This sweet 6 month old boy was very weak and skinny (although his wagging tail didn’t get the memo). With a heart of gold, his calm and loveable face just wants to be rested on you at all times to show his love and appreciation. He now has enough energy to do zoomies and wrestle about with his foster sister. He’s experienced camping, being out in public settings whether it be a musical night or behaving well at a restaurant. He has found his voice and sounds like a hippo when he’s wrestling. He is crate trained and 95% of the time does not have any accidents. He would do well with other dogs. He has not really been exposed to cats or children, but his calm and sweet nature makes us think that he would thrive in any environment. Cash has a slight mischievous side, but only because he loves food so much and can sniff it out very well. Since he has gained strength, he may need a bit more leash training and we are working on that, but has proven he is able to learn commands and wants to please his human. We cannot imagine an easier Dane puppy! *** Giant breed experience required and a fenced yard. If interested in Cash email us at info@greatdanefriends.com for an application.

Story

Grayson came to GDFRL after having been picked up as a stray and landed at a local shelter. He’s been fostered for 2 months allowing him to slowly come out of his shell a little because he was very shy. He’s estimated to be about 9 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 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 hesitant around strangers, both humans and dogs, and needs slow introductions. 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

Hercules is looking for someone to be their hero. This 3 year old 170 pound Bull Mastiff is massive and definitely the size of a small pony. He is a lazy, affectionate big OOF that needs someone bigger and stronger than him to make him their sidekick in life. Being the only dog would be so good for him since the former owner never socialized him with other dogs. He assumed that Hercules might be a little aggressive or assertive and so we just don’t know for sure. Maybe a female dog would be fine but we doubt a male would be a good idea in the future home. He is not great on a leash. Noone took that time to really train him but it still is doable with the right person knowing how to do it. He is housebroken, crate trained and he is not destructive in the house. This boy will make you laugh, make you want to protect him (even though he is big) and he will love you unconditionally and who in the world would ever break in to your home!? Goodness they would be insane. This boy loves people though….but if you don’t know him then he could be a nice guardian. A fenced yard would be the perfect environment for everyone.

Zinnia Noelle Breed: Anatolian Shepherd Mix Gender: Female Estimated Birthday: 10/20/2021 Current Weight: 65 Pounds House & Crate Trained: Yes Adoption Fee: $265 --================================= Hi, I’m Zinnia Noelle! I was out on my own as a stray before I was rescued. The humans think I might be about 2 or 3 years old. Now I’m learning a lot at my foster home about good manners and look forward to settling in to my forever home! I’m learning well because I’m easy to redirect and am treat-motivated (yum!). I take some time to warm up to new situations and people. After I feel comfortable, I am lovey-dovey and enjoy being with my people and snuggling. If I want attention, I might paw at you - hey! If I haven’t seen you all day, I might be so excited that I jump (oh right, I’m learning I shouldn’t do that!). I like my foster’s teenager, but haven’t yet been seen around younger kids. I get along well with other dogs and cats. I’m actually pretty curious about cats and squirrels! Playing with other dogs is super fun (if I get rowdy, just redirect me)! I can tend to be on the alpha side and I’ve been seen herding other dogs. To be safe, it’s a good idea to introduce me slowly to larger dogs. I enjoy chewing on bones and toys, so much that I’ve stolen them from my foster sibling, and have even stolen the humans’ shoes and stuffed animals (still learning what’s OK to chew on). I love to be outside, running around and playing with other dogs (I’ve got medium energy). While I adjust to a new home, a 6-foot fence would be preferable, at least until I prove that I won’t run away. I’m totally house trained and also like my kennel. I walk pretty well on a leash, but it’s kind of new so I’m getting better. Let’s be buddies and practice together! Before emailing- please read: - Yes, this dog is available for adoption - The adoption fee for Zinnia Noelle is $265 - Apply at c2cnd.org - The adoption fee covers their age appropriate shots, microchip, deworming, spay/neuter, and any other medical expenses while in our care. - Local adopters only.
