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.

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.  If interested in Jackson you can email us at info@greatdanefriends.com for an application. *****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions.

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.  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
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.
