Story
Hi. Hello. Hi again. My name is Hank and I am, scientifically speaking, the bestest boy. Full transparency though: the world is BIG and LOUD and PEOPLE are kinda scary  . When I first landed with my foster dad, I needed a few solid weeks to decompress, observe from a safe distance, and decide if humans were… chill. Spoiler alert: my foster dad passed the vibe check. Once I felt safe, my true personality came out and WOW—I am a certified snuggle champion with a major affection streak. I currently live with two foster siblings (both Danes) and let me tell you—no fear there. We wrestle. We play tug-of-war. We steal toys from each other like professionals. They’ve helped boost my confidence a TON, and I would love to have fur siblings in my forever home. Fair warning: I play hard, so a sibling with energy and patience would be ideal. Outside the house? Still spooky. We’re working on leash skills and socializing. I’m not “bad” on a leash—I just sometimes sit down and politely refuse to continue because THE WORLD IS A LOT. Progress is happening, slowly and on my terms, and my foster dad is super patient with me (10/10 human). Now that I’m comfy, my puppy side is fully activated: • Goofy   • Clumsy   • Will steal anything I can reach   • Loves bringing sticks inside like priceless treasures   I’m almost fully potty trained, learning to sit and shake, and VERY food motivated (treats = trust). I’m kennel trained-ish—still not my favorite, but toss a couple treats in there and I’ll dramatically but obediently walk myself in. Oh, and ICE IS AMAZING. Truly elite snack. My foster dad says I’m going to make my future family incredibly happy. He’s really proud of how far I’ve come—and yeah, I think they’ll miss me—but he keeps telling me there’s a family out there who needs a sweet, sensitive, snuggly giant puppy like me to call their own. If you’re patient, kind, and ready to love a Dane puppy who’s learning that the world isn’t so scary… I might just be your guy.    Hank is being fostered in Fort Mill, SC.  If interested in adopting you can email us at info@greatdanefriends.com for an application.  A fenced yard is required to give Hank a safe off leash area to run and zoom. *****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions.

Meet Juniper — Your Gentle, Curious Companion! Sweet, soulful Juniper is a beautiful mix of curiosity and heart. Rescued from a shelter in September, this lovely girl (estimated to be around 2–4 years old) has blossomed in her foster home and is ready to find her forever family. Juniper is still learning that the world is a safe place, so she’ll need a patient, loving owner who can help her continue to build her confidence. Once she warms up, she’s incredibly affectionate — a total snuggle bug who adores her humans. She’s happiest with another friendly dog by her side to show her the ropes and loves wrestling and cuddling with her foster siblings. Juniper has been great around kids of all ages, though she’d thrive best in a quieter home without lots of constant noise or activity. Her perfect match? An active family that’s home often or loves bringing their pup along for adventures. She’s learning that food and love are always there for her — and she’ll reward you with endless loyalty, warmth, and tail wags. Juniper is ready to meet the patient, kindhearted family who will help her bloom into the confident, joyful dog she’s meant to be. Could that be you? Juniper is being fostered in Chapel Hill NC.

Story
Meet Sadie Smart. Curious. Already growing into her big-dog future Sadie was born September 2, 2025, and at just a few months old she is already reached 30 pounds, giving a very real preview of the strong, athletic large-breed dog she’s becoming. The first thing people notice about Sadie is her incredible ears—always alert, expressive, and impossible to miss. They perfectly match her curious, thoughtful personality. Sadie is a Great Dane–forward mix (Great Dane, Cane Corso, American Pit Bull Terrier, Siberian Husky/German Shepherd) and is expected to mature into a 60–80 lb adult. Sadie at a glance DOB: 9/2/2025 Current weight: ~30 lbs and growing Breed mix: Great Dane, Cane Corso, APBT, Husky/German Shepherd Expected adult size: Large (approx. 60–80 lbs) Energy: Puppy energy with a solid ability to settle Personality: Smart, curious, playful, sweet, and socially aware People: Friendly and appropriate with adults Children: Has met young children and did very well—curious, gentle, and respectful Dogs: Social and adaptable; reads cues well and adjusts play Cats: Untested Life with Sadie Sadie enjoys playtime, exploration, and learning new things—but she also knows how to rest. After activity, she settles nicely indoors and is comfortable relaxing on her own or in her crate. She’s already showing the kind of balance that experienced large-breed adopters value. She’s comfortable in a home environment, handles routine well, and continues to build confidence through normal puppy experiences. Training & manners Crate trained Nearly house-trained; goes to the door when she needs to potty (normal puppy supervision applies) Leash skills: Still learning, as expected; redirects well with a martingale collar or harness Car rides: Does well and settles on longer trips Cues she knows: sit, wait, no, off Working on: down, stay, and come Motivation: Enjoys treats and engagement; responds well to praise and interaction Social style Sadie approaches new people thoughtfully and politely. With other dogs, she shows good social awareness—matching energy and giving space when appropriate. She has done well meeting young children, showing curiosity and gentleness with appropriate supervision. She could thrive as an only dog or enjoy having canine companions. Sadie is being fostered in Anderson SC. If interested in adopting email us at info@greatdanefriends.com for an application. A fenced yard will be required so she has a safe place to run and romp and do all the puppy things! *****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions.

Hi!  My name is Archer but my foster mom calls me Archie.  I'm a smart boy and answer to both names.   I was born on November 19, 2018 which means I'll be 7years old soon.   I act very young for my age and love to go for short walks (I walk very nicely on a leash) and especially love car rides.  I play very enthusiastically with my foster sister who is only 2 years old.  There are 3 cats in the house but I ignore them.  I have been to PetSmart and Lowes and have done really well.  I'm still a little hesitant of big men and of little kids ( kids 12 yrs and up would be best) but we are working on that!  When they are around I like to hide behind mom!  I'm a very smart boy and know all my basic commands but don't really like the STAY one.  I'm potty trained and trustworthy in the house but would prefer being with you to being left behind.  I had some skin issues, ear infections and eye infections when I arrived but those are all clear now. I am a super sweet boy who is looking for a soft place to land...a FOREVER home of my own!  Please consider this sweetest older boy.  Archer is being fostered in Jacksonville NC.  If interested in adopting please email us at info@greatdanefriends.com for an application. *****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions.

Story
Hi! I’m Marley I was born on 9/2/25 and I am the cutest and softest Great Dane mix. I’m a very Smart, curious girl with lots of puppy energy. I love play time and being outside just sitting in the sun. I have grown very fond of playing fetch so my foster parents play with me daily and it gets rid of some of my built up puppy energy. I am crate and potty trained(I run to the door or make noises when I’m in my crate) and I love getting tucked in at night in my blankets before I go to sleep. I can typically sleep through the night, but I do get up early to go potty and to eat my breakfast. Did I mention, I love to eat! I have a good appetite and I know my daily food and treat routine. I also love snuggle time and to sit with my FP on the couch or in their laps. I have 2 Dane foster fur siblings and I have no fear being around them but sometimes my energy gets to be a bit much for them and they let me know to back off and typically I will listen to that cue. I am also working on my manners; I know sit, come and let go but still need some reminders as I am after all still all puppy. My foster mom has also taught me to walk on a leash and I do pretty well but then sometimes there are leaves and things on the ground that call me to pull in a different direction. Overall, I’m a really good puppy and I try to be a good girl and I do take redirection when needed. I am being fostered in Concord, NC.

Story
Hello GDFRL Fans – Chauncey here! Foster Mom has been quite remiss in providing any updates on me - she says sorry! I tried to type one up myself but the keyboard just wasn’t made for paws my size so all I managed was this – ;lp/asdvb fgdp;iÒÚ¿;lsedf – which isn’t too informative. A reminder of my back story - I came to GDFRL this summer from an SC shelter. I was originally found earlier this year with my muzzle tied shut. My owner paid the fine and took me home only to drive me out into the middle of nowhere earlier this summer, tie me to a tree, and abandon me. Foster Mom says besides the physical scars, I have some emotional scars from him. Car rides cause me some anxiety because I’m not 100% sure if I am going to be abandoned again and sometimes I have to use my big bark when strangers come around because I don’t know if they will be nice to me. FM says I don’t have to worry and she’s going to prove to me that most people are kind and they are going to love me and pet me and give me toys and treats. This really nice lady named Caitlin, who FM says is a wonderful trainer, is going to be working with us so I can meet all these nice people and become the bravest, bestest boy. At home, I have a foster sister who is a third of my size but boy is she tough. We like to wrestle and play and steal toys from each other. There’s kitties at my foster home too, but they get me a bit too excited so I’m not allowed to play with them. Foster Mom says my forever family probably shouldn’t include kitty siblings good for chasing or little pups – ‘cuz she says I’m clumsy and they’re squishable. I am an in-your-face, always by your side kind of guy, so I’m hoping my forever family understands their space is my space, too. FM says I’m also very verbal - what can I say - I have opinions and sometimes she is way slow on serving up dinner. I do try to be a good boy though, and practice my “sit and wait” while she’s mixing up my food. Foster Mom says that sometimes I get a little too mouthy with things, so I have my own room when mom is gone all day. I know what “go to your room” means and I will open the baby gate and run in there and wait for my good boy treat. I have been a naughty boy lately though ‘cuz the mattress is so nice to chew on and is more of a fun challenge than those easy-to-shred dog beds. Foster mom says I should be chewing on all my tug toys or my security jolly ball that I like to mouth – what can I say, it calms me! So here’s what me and foster mom think my perfect forever family would be: – One or two fur siblings to play with who are medium to large dogs. I’ve only met another dane through a fence, and he didn’t really like me, so I didn’t get to try to play with him. – A calmer home that is willing to keep working with me on meeting new people as I learn that I will be protected and people will be nice to me. – No little kids – I just don’t understand the difference between my 158 lbs and little kids a fraction of my size. I’ll want to play with them and mom thinks they will be squished. And the details: – Housetrained – Neutered and up-to-date on vaccine – Has been good with the medium-sized dogs he has met - male and female – No kitties - he is too interested in them and will give chase – Kids 12+ ***Chauncey is being fostered in Asheville NC.
