Story
Meet Ghost! Ghost is a gentle, shy neutered male, about 1 to 2 years old, a merle Great Dane of about 60 pounds, who is looking for a patient person to show him what home is all about. He was part of a large Frenchie hoarding case, and he spent a couple of months roaming neighborhoods on his own before he came into care. He has been vetted and is ready for the next chapter of his life. Ghost is very fearful and was semi-feral when he came to us, so he's still learning how to trust. He's a bundle of nerves, but there's a sweet dog under it all. On a leash, he's a star. He'll stay glued to your hip and walk like a pro. He doesn't seem to mind other animals, and he's gentle by nature. Without a leash and a job to do, Ghost can seem unsure how to just be a dog, and he'll need help learning to relax, play, and explore. A foster home noted that he guarded his food, so he'd do best with a quiet routine and his own space at mealtimes. The basics - Age: About 1 to 2 years - Sex: Male, neutered - Breed: Merle Great Dane - Weight: About 60 pounds - Vetted: Yes - Leash manners: Excellent - Other animals: Doesn't seem to mind them - Food: Has guarded his food, so feed him separately - Temperament: Very fearful, gentle His perfect home: a patient, experienced adopter with a calm household, who understands fearful dogs and is happy to move at Ghost's pace. A confident, easygoing resident dog could help him, and a fenced yard would be a plus. If you've loved a shy dog before, Ghost needs you. Apply to meet him today!

Story
Banjo was just a tiny little fella when his litter was dropped off to one of our dedicated fosters. It was quickly clear that these puppies were overrun with worms and unfortunately Banjo was the only one to survive.. Banjo is about 90% blind and has epilepsy (which is well managed) so he needs a special family that will understand his medical needs and be a calm leader when he experiences seizures. He has come a long way and we know that there is a family out there that can see passed his special needs and love him all the same. He does require medication for his seizures twice a day at meal times. Banjo is good with everyone! Including kids. He also loves being with other dogs and is neutral toward cats in his foster home. He is still very young so he does need to be crated when left alone but he has a great foundation for crating thanks to his foster. Banjo rides well in the car and is excellent for bath time. He LOVES food and thinks toys are less exciting. But dont worry his favorite games involve interacting with his people. Banjo is currently in PA but he can be transported to an approved adopter. This special boy needs a special family!

Story
Meet Zola: 112 Pounds of Pure Snuggle! Age: 6 Sex: Female (spayed) Breed: Purebred Mantle Great Dane Weight: 112 lbs Some girls just get better with age, and Zola is proof. She's the whole package: obedient, goofy, cuddly, and fully grown into her fabulous self. She comes with no puppy chaos and no teenage nonsense, just a sweet, seasoned Dane who knows how to be a great companion. Her greeting game is strong. Zola announces new visitors with a big bark, then befriends them within minutes. Expect a wiggly, happy welcome. She's got manners. She knows Sit, Down, Come, Shake, and Off, and she's very food motivated, so treats will make her your biggest fan. She takes them gently, walks beautifully on a leash, and hops in and out of the car on her own because she LOVES car rides. She's easy to live with. She's house trained, crate trained, and travels well. Her crate is her happy place, and she's comfortable in it when you're away. She has no destructive habits and isn't bothered by fireworks or vacuums. Our evaluator called her "bullet proof." She's social. Zola was curious, excited, and friendly with every dog she met during her evaluation. She also loves kids and gets along with cats. She's healthy and ready to go. Her recent lab work was good. She's spayed and vaccinated, with no arthritis and no skin issues. She sees and hears fine and is at a great weight. Fair warning: Zola is a genius with her mouth. She can twist a doorknob open and she has defeated garbage cans, so you'll want a latch she can't outsmart. Her perfect day starts with a walk, then a car ride, then hours on the couch with her favorite human. She'd also be happy to sleep in your bed. She comes with an XXL crate, an orthopedic crate bed, bowls, and a blanket. Don't let anyone tell you she's too old for adventures. Zola is in her prime, with plenty of good years left and a whole lot of love to give. She's past the puppy stage and fully trained, so what you see is what you get, and what you get is wonderful. Interested in giving Zola her forever home? Apply with MAGDRL's West Virginia chapter today! A little health update: Zola has had some elevated liver values on her bloodwork, and we have started her on supplements to support her liver health. Her most recent numbers have improved compared with her previous results, which is very encouraging! Zola was treated for Lyme exposure last year. Her blood work is Lyme positive, but she doesn't need treatment for it. Lyme isn't directly contagious through normal contact with other dogs or people, and routine tick prevention remains important. Zola is happy, fun-loving, playful, and downright adorable. Don't let this get in the way of meeting this wonderful girl! Please include your home area code and a phone number where a volunteer can reach you when contacting us about an adoption.

Story
Meet Tex – Your Perfect Laid-Back Companion 🐾 Tex is an 8-year-old gentleman with a calm, easygoing personality who is now under the care of MAGDRL. He is currently being boarded while we search for a loving foster or forever home where he can enjoy the comfort he deserves. Tex has a true “old soul” demeanor. He lives for affection and will happily soak up pets for as long as you’re willing to give them. His favorite place is near an open window where he can bask in the sunshine and relax the day away. While he’s not overly playful, he does enjoy the occasional burst of zoomies that show off his fun side. He ignores other dogs, does well in a kennel environment, and is comfortable with non-dominant male dogs. Tex previously lived peacefully with a 9-year-old female Mastiff mix. He is crate trained, though he hasn’t needed a crate in years, and he does not have separation anxiety—making him an easy addition to a home. Tex is now in a foster home in NJ and is doing great with his Dane foster sister. Tex is a sweet senior boy who just wants to be loved and cuddled, a wonderful companion for a quiet home. He will do best with female dogs. Tex is trustworthy in the house, does great in the car or on a leash. He is crate trained but has proven he doesn't need to be crated if left unsupervised. Tex is such a gentle old soul, if you want to give a senior a place to live out their golden years, Tex is the boy for you!. If interested, Please contact Chelsea at chelsea9049@yahoo.com. Tex is located in Prince William County, VA Please include your home area code and a phone number where a volunteer can reach you when contacting us about an adoption.

Story
09/26/2026 Maggie is doing well in her foster home, and there have been no major changes to her update. She continues to be gentle, easy to love, rides well, walks nicely on leash, and takes treats softly. She remains curious but respectful with cats and has shown no resource guarding. Maggie is still gaining confidence and will need a patient, understanding home as she learns that she is safe and secure. We still aren’t sure how she is with children, on a recent walk she spotted a child and tried to pull away. With calm guidance and continued positive experiences Maggie can keep building her confidence around new people and situations. She has come so far from the scared, exhausted young dog found alone on a rural Kentucky road. 07/20/2026 Maggie’s Story Maggie’s story doesn’t start with a home — it starts with survival. She was spotted in a Facebook video, wandering alone along a rural Kentucky road, thin and slipping in and out of the woods. No collar, no owner, just another young Dane mix left to fend for herself. Volunteers Barbara and Emily refused to look away. After hours of searching, Barbara finally spotted a small black head peeking from a ditch. Catching her took even longer. At just 18 months old, Maggie had already been bought, rehomed multiple times, and dumped twice. Her tail and dewclaws were crudely removed, and she had likely been surviving on her own for weeks through harsh weather. By the time she was found, she was exhausted, underweight, and worn down. Thanks to the dedication of her rescuers and a supportive community, Maggie received the medical care she needed and began to heal. She eventually made her way to a MAGDRL foster home, where she’s finally learning what safety and consistency feel like. And despite everything, Maggie is incredibly easy to love. She’s gentle, rides well, walks nicely on leash, and takes treats softly. She’s curious but respectful with cats and shows no resource guarding. She even spent her first night in a home sleeping peacefully and waiting until morning to go outside. Maggie is still building confidence, especially when left alone, and will need patience as she learns that she’s truly safe. But with time and understanding, she will continue to blossom. Now she’s ready for her forever home — one that will give her the stability she’s never had and the love she’s always deserved. If you’re ready to show Maggie that home is forever, she’s ready to meet you. Please include your home area code and a phone number where a volunteer can reach you when contacting us about an adoption.

Story
Meet Max, a loving 9-year-old Great Dane mix who's ready to be your next loyal companion! This gentle giant is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and housetrained — calm, affectionate, and ridiculously good with kids and other dogs. Max knows basic commands like "sit," "stay," and "up," loves relaxed walks and long naps, and is excellent on car rides; he truly becomes your shadow and is happiest by your side. Max is a very sweet boy who sadly just lost his best friend, a female dane of 9 years, and his owner at the same time. Because of this, he is looking for a new owner who wouldn't mind his loyalty and being your own personal shadow. He can get a bit anxious when left alone, so someone who is home a lot or works from home would be ideal. He also loves females and the ideal home for him is one with a female owner and a calm female Dane. If you’re looking for a devoted, easygoing buddy who’s as sweet as he is gentle and will be your loyal shadow, come meet Max! Please include your home area code and a phone number where a volunteer can reach you when contacting us about an adoption.

Story
This handsome fella is Dukey; he’s a 1 ½ year old mix of Great Pyr and Anatolian Shepherd. He was missing from his original home for some time and returned extremely thin and missing hair. His owners surrendered him to us and he’s now 50 pounds on his way to about 60, and his coat is filling in nicely! A good boy, he is sweet, friendly, gives shakes, and is very loving and gentle. He is not fond of other dogs, however, so, although we’re working on this, at this point he should be the only dog in the home. He is a fine boy who needs a home with a devoted family! (posted 6/26/26, ME) ' ' ' 'Adoption Fee: $395.00-- covers microchip, worming, all vaccines, monthly heart worm preventative, monthly tick/flea preventative, spaying/neutering, health certificate, and complete medical records. Transport Fee: $170.00-- We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip. We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs. **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. **November 4, 2026, 10:20 pm
