Great Dane puppies and dogs in Vermont

Despite all odds, Valor managed to make it to me in Vermont where I am now tasked with the quest to find him an exceptional home where he will never again live in pain, fear, or turmoil. At just 4.5 months old he was stabbed in the chest (missing his heart by mere centimeters), and lacerated on his front leg by his previous owner who is a known felon. He was then left overnight on his chain hooked under a car. I was contacted late that night by my dear friend, and rescue partner in Texas telling me of what happened. She asking me if I was willing to help this angel. You all know what my answer was. Against all odds, he made it through the night, and miraculously she was able to coordinate his surrender first thing in the morning. He went right into surgery, receiving all of the necessary care and IV antibiotics. No expense was spared. He had his staples removed about a week and half ago, and made it up to me last Sunday. Despite everything, this puppy remains the light of this world. He is such a kind soul. You would never know that he’s gone through so much trauma. He is exceptionally good natured, and loves every human and every animal he meets. He has a zest for life that is contagious! He will play for hours and hours with the other dogs, or humans willing. Valor is a lover not a fighter! He doesn’t have a prey driven bone in his body. He’s remarkably well behaved for being a puppy and is 90% house trained. Definitely at least a stage 8 clinger. He prefers to be the little spoon. Excellent off leash! He’s very easy to train as he’s food motivated and quite intelligent. He loves to go for rides in the vehicle and excels in new environments. He’s still a little gangly with some pretty tall legs to grow into, and ears that don’t yet fit his face, but it’s part of his endearment. You can be sure that this pup has angel wings attached on all levels. Valor will go far in life, and he deserves to. He survived for a reason and I’m confident he will change lives with his time here on Earth. He is looking for an exceptional home — a home that will shower him with kindness for the rest of his life and help him overcome his past traumas. Someone who will always put him first, and show him a world of kindness. He is looking for a bed to sleep on next to his human, a fire to cozy up to in the winters, dogs to play with, animals to be his siblings, and endless outdoor adventures. He would be an exception family, farm, companion, or emotional support dog. Valor survived against all odds. He has the rest of his life now to be showered in goodness.

Our lovely three year old Great Dane, Moose, answers to many names of Moose, Moosey, and Lucy from the phrase loosey-goosey because he’s more limbs than body sometimes. He tends to be a clumsy goober, especially when treats and a fun game of tug of war is involved. He loves playing with those huge rope toys, and his favorite pastime is definitely being outside digging and exploring. We unfortunately have to find a new home for him due to us moving. We really don’t want to lose our dog to the last choice of a shelter so hopefully we find the perfect family for him here! He is neutered and has a harness, leash, crate and muzzle included. Please reach out to me if interested.

This happy little guy seems to wake up every morning convinced it's going to be the best day ever. By the time you've spent five minutes with him, you'll probably feel the same way. Between his floppy ears that bounce with every happy trot, his goofy puppy antics, and his excitement over absolutely everything, Flame has a way of making even ordinary days feel a little brighter. He lives in a loving foster home with kids and other dogs and he really is a wonderful puppy ready to join your family! Watch Flame's video and see why everyone falls in love with him: https://youtu.be/O9ROagYIIZ8?si=xDvPFgo980uC7xbx At approximately 5 months old and currently 30 pounds, Flame is our best guess at a Pittie Dane mix, but with animal rescue, it's always a mystery! His foster family is guessing part Dane because of his long legs, big feet, and goofy demeanor. Whatever breeds came together to create this handsome boy, they gave him the sweetest personality, the cutest floppy ears, and the perfect balance of playful puppy energy and laid-back cuddles. Flame is everything you'd hope for in a puppy. He's friendly, social, curious, and always excited to make a new friend. He approaches life with so much enthusiasm that it's hard not to smile watching him explore the world around him. Whether he's trotting around with one of his favorite toys, investigating something new, or simply soaking up all the attention he can get, Flame is happiest when he's included in the fun. Speaking of toys... this boy loves them! He enjoys chasing after toys, proudly carrying them around, and playing a good game of tug-of-war. He's still working on the whole "bring it back" part of fetch, but he certainly has the chasing part mastered. Once playtime is over, though, Flame is more than happy to settle down for some affection. He's a sweet, loving puppy who enjoys being close to his people and has a wonderful off-switch after he's gotten his puppy energy out. Flame is currently fostered in a home with two precious little girls and other dogs, and he's fitting right in. In fact, one of his favorite places to be is snuggled up in the girls' arms, soaking up all the love and attention they have to give. His gentle, affectionate nature makes him a joy to have around, and he loves being part of whatever his family is doing. He's already crate trained and generally does very well in his kennel. Potty training has also been off to a great start, and he's been learning where the appropriate potty places are. Like any young puppy, he'll likely need a little reminder once he arrives in a brand-new environment, but with consistency, patience, and routine, we expect him to continue making great progress. Flame is also a smart little guy who already knows how to sit and takes treats so gently from your hand. He's eager to learn, loves his treats, and has all the makings of a puppy who will enjoy continuing his training with his forever family. Like all puppies, Flame will need continued socialization, training, and guidance as he grows into adulthood. The time and love you invest in him now will help shape him into the incredible companion he's already well on his way to becoming. If you're looking for a puppy who's equal parts playful sidekick, cuddle buddy, and tiny ray of sunshine, Flame is ready to fill your home with laughter, floppy ears, puppy kisses, and enough happiness to brighten every single day. We are willing to test Flame Tulip with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen!

Breaker is up for adoption in TX, NE and PNW (excluding MA)! Meet Breaker – Your Adventure Buddy in the Making! Breaker is a handsome Great Dane mix a little over a year old who is ready to find an active, committed family to call his own. At around 65 pounds, he’s a wonderful blend of big-dog presence and goofy puppy charm. Breaker is currently being fostered in Seguin, TX, but he can be transported to the Pacific Northwest and the Northeast United States for the right home. Breaker thrives on activity and he still has that classic puppy energy, so he’s looking for a family that understands the importance of positive correction, consistency, and continued training to help him grow into the best version of himself. With the right guidance, Breaker is eager to learn and please. One of Breaker’s favorite things in the world is going on adventures. He absolutely loves riding in the car and would be thrilled to tag along for hikes, outings, road trips, or any fun day spent exploring with his people. Water is another big favorite—splashing, wading, and cooling off are right up his alley. When playtime rolls around, Breaker is all in. He loves toys of all kinds and enjoys playing with dogs his own size. Most of all, Breaker wants to be with his people. He would happily spend the entire day with his family, whether that means being on the go or just hanging out together.

Welcome Reesaw to CCPAL Rescue. She is an 18-month-old Great Dane mix dog. She weighs in at 102 pounds. She is good with other dogs and came in with an older Great Dane named Planter. Reesaw does pull on leash but we will be working with that. She is moderately active and would be fine with a moderately active family. She is a good balance between active and couch potato. She is good with people and will bond deeply with her person. Great Danes are typically a little shy and they warm up and bond deeply to their family. She does fit this characteristic. She would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. Someone who has owned an XL dog or a Great Dane would be preferable. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is 400 and transport is 180. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.
