Story
Sweet Ruby came to us from a local shelter. She is a sweet girl but can be shy until she knows you. She is very food motivated so it's easy to win her over with tasty treats! She loves to run laps in the backyard with her foster sister Lulu. But also LOVES to snuggle up with her too. We feel Ruby would do best in a home with another Canine companion to help her with confidence and she truly loves their company. Ruby is dog friendly - Has lived with children - Knows “sit” and “no” - Very cuddly, attaches strongly to her person - Crate trained - Sleeps through the night on a bed on the floor (also loves sleeping in the bed when she is allowed) - Shares water and toys well, needs space when eating - Has only been in rescue ~1 month so still very shy, needs patience to be introduced to new things - Leash skills are a work in progress - Enjoys car rides - Very food motivated for training   To apply: info@greatdanefriends.com A fenced yard is required and giant breed experience. Ruby is being fostered in Charlotte NC*****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions.

Story
UPDATE: Thor is a sweet three-year-old boy loves people and wants to be as close to you as he can. He enjoys daily walks and walks well on a leash. In just a few short months he has come a long way with leash walking. While walking he can get a little excited when he sees another dog, but he is easily corrected. I make him sit and tell him to wait and he is the most patient boy. He just loves everyone and everything! One of his favorite things to do is sit in front of a window and look out at the world around him. And he loves car rides, too. Thor loves playing with other dogs and would love to have a doggie brother or sister in his new home. Sometimes he acts nervously around other dogs at first, but this quickly dissipates and off he goes playing and running around. His foster brother can play rough, which Thor puts up with patiently and then lets him know when he has had enough. Now that it is getting warm out he likes to lay on the couch on the porch and gaze into the backyard…most of the time watching his foster brother roam the backyard. Thor loves that his foster mom works from home. He will do best in a home where his owners are not gone for long periods of time. And no crates, please. He does not like them and will not go in them. He needs to be in a home that will not crate him. He sleeps through the night on his dog bed next to his foster mom’s bed. As long as he is in the same room as you then he is content. Kids? Thor loves them! Especially kids who give him lots of pets and love. He recently stayed with a family who has a pet rat and he did well with her. Gently and calmly watching it and nuzzling it. Thor is extremely trustworthy in the house and is house trained. He has never gotten into anything he is not supposed to. His foster mom always gives him a treat before she leaves the house and this makes his day! He LOVES treats. He knows basic commands like sit and lay down and we are working on stay. He wants to be right by your side so staying is a little hard for him right now. He does get very excited when people enter the home but he calms down quickly. He just loves people that much. Thor was an owner surrender who was taken in by a concerned family who nursed him back to health. He is about good as dogs come and just wants to show you how much he loves you.     Thor is a sweet three-year-old boy loves people and wants to be as close to you as he can.

Story
Bear is 3 years old. I picked him up from the breeder at 8 weeks old. He is very affectionate toward people and loves to be with someone whenever he can be. He does fine with my other 2 dogs (Great Dane and Beagle) but does not seem to like other animals outside of our home, except another close family friend/dog. No issues have been seen with other adults (male/female), although he has never been around children. He has bitten another small dog in the past.

Story
Sweet Winnie is a year and a half and weighs in at 75 lbs. She does have some Great Dane in her bloodline. She is very loving and affectionate, loves to bring her toys to you. She would be great with dogs her size as she is a little too much for smaller dogs. She also does well with the kitties. She is looking for a fun loving forever home to go on adventures with her. If you would like to meet this wonderful girl, please continue to read and fill out our on line application. https://cliffordsarmyrescue.com/1423-2/ RECOMMENDATIONS & PROCEDURES Please note, the following are recommendations for puppies and different breeds of dogs. We will evaluate each application on an individual basis to see what is best for the dog/puppy and the potential adopter. Puppies are very fragile and not toys. We recommend children be at least six years old to be considered to adopt a puppy. Small breed dogs ( such as chihuahuas, yorkies, shih tzus , etc) we recommend children be at least eight years old. Herding, working breeds we recommend children to be at least 12 years old. Again these are recommendations. Adoption Procedures: We will travel up to two hours ( one way) to do physical home visits and we do not do virtual home visits. Most of our dogs come from bad situations and we want to know where their forever home is going to be. While we do not require fencing on all dogs, certain dogs that need a fenced in yard, will not be adopted unless potential adopter has one. We also adopt some dogs to people who live in apartments ( as long as the landlord approves) but not all dogs. We do not adopt to anyone under 21 years of age. We also do not feel college students are the best fit for most of our dogs. Most of our dogs again, come from bad situations and need lots of attention. Most college students have financial responsibilities and we feel need to be focused on school. Our goal is to match the dog with a family that fits the dog’s needs. We are solely focused on what is best for each dog in our rescue. These dogs have had enough moving around, dumped out like trash, and we want to ensure they find their forever home. We do require you sign a contract and if at any time you cannot continue to provide for the dog, the dog comes back to the rescue. Your first step to adoption is filling our our on line application. You will then get an automated email stating we got your application Next our adoption coordinator will be in touch either by phone or email If your references check out, a home visit will be scheduled. After the home visit is done, a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in and/or any other available dogs we have will be scheduled If the dog and you are a match, contract will be signed and you may take your new family member home.
