Story

Hi Friends! My name is Greyson, and I was part of the Mini Van 9. I am a male Great Dane that is approximately 4 years old. If you are looking for a funny guy with a great personality and a willingness to learn than I am your guy. I am a cute tall boy that loves attention. My interests are eating water, wiggling my butt, running with my Dane friends, and sassing when I am told to wait. I am learning new commands with my foster mom, and she says I’m the goodest boy. I do have a happy tail so watch out when I get too excited. I am fully potty trained, and crate trained, but I will holler for a little bit. I also like to sleep on the couch or my dog bed at night, so you don’t have to worry about me taking up your whole bed. Now a nap, that is another story, move over because I like to snuggle for midday nap time. While I do get along very well with my Great Dane friends in the house, I am seeking a home with no other pets to set me up for the best success. Unlike other dogs that need to be an only pet, I am easy to walk, rock a patio or brewery, can meet new dog friends, I just really rather have my own space at home, someone told me that means more attention for me! Absolutely no small animals at my forever home, that includes chickens, cats, and the neighrbors cats. (Another dane in the home may be considered to a dog savy home, absolutely no other pets under 75lbs.) I would like to find a forever home that will work on my training.  ##1453417##

Story

Hi, I'm Cinder! I'm a tall 1.5 year old Great Dane! My foster mom says that I'm a really good puppy. I think she means that I'm really easy going and not always full of the devil for my age. She also tells me all the time that I'm a very good girl. I'm friendly with everybody and I'm always happy. I can be talkative at times but I'm not sassy. I am perfectly potty trained. I sleep on my dog bed but really would prefer to cuddle with my people in bed. I am currently living with 2 special needs female Danes, 2 kiddos 11 & 15, and my foster mom and dad. I have a medical condition called mega esophagus. It's really not too bad and my foster mom is helping me manage it. I take some medication for it, she soaks my kibble in water, feeds me from a raised feeders, and she even makes me treats made from jello because I can't tolerate crunchy treats. I probably won't grow out of this condition but I don't think it will get any worse. I would like a friend to play with in my new home and maybe even a kiddo or two. I like to play fetch, tug of war, and rough and tumble with one of the dogs here. Come meet me and I know you'll just want to take me home! ##1459688##

Gordy

Great Dane Great Pyrenees

Minneapolis, MN

Size

Story

Hey there, I am Gordy aka Gordon (when I’m not listening) and Gordito Crunch (when my foster mama is playing with me)! I am an almost 3 year old Great Dane/Great Pyrenees mix. That just means I’m extra great of course!  I have the Great Dane height and body but a Great Pyrenees head with the Pyrenees shedding.  I was originally surrendered as a puppy due to having special back legs. I was adopted to a wonderful family but recently was surrendered back to rescue because I can be a strong personality. I get that from the Great Pyrenees side.  I love hard and love attention from my humans but don’t enjoy people I don’t know initially. I take my job of guarding the home seriously and need my humans to communicate and prove to me that they can control and protect the house so I don’t have to worry about it.  I recently spent a month with a really nice lady who taught me really fun things like walking well on leash, a strong place command, heel, come and all of the other skills I need to be a well mannered boy.  I really love to play with toys and other dog friends as long as they are not dominant. I’m a total goofball but have shown resource guarding over food with other dogs. I prefer to eat my food and bones in my kennel.  I really love my kennel. I sleep there at night and when my foster parents are gone. I will counter surf if left unattended.  Remember how I was surrendered as a puppy due to having special legs? Well, I still have special back legs. I was born with slightly twisted femurs so I walk a bit differently and have arthritis in my back knees. I love to run and play but can be sore after playing all day long so I occasionally take gabapentin to help. I also require daily joint supplements to help my bones stay healthy.  I currently take anxiety meds daily. I have been on these since I was young to help with my desire to protect the home. These meds cost about $90 for a 90 day supply so any future adopter needs to be able to continue to pay for regular medications.  Foster Mama Here: Gordy is the bestest boy. We fostered him when he was a puppy as well. We do not let him greet visitors at our house and require him to stay on his bed in a “place” while visitors are here. He is also happy to stay in his kennel. He does like to meet people slowly and at a good pace. Once he knows and trusts you he will forever welcome you as a family member of his.  Gordy has so much potential and loves so hard. But he will require owners who can set strict boundaries in the home and hold him accountable. His breed and genetics make him want to protect his home and people but if you a set boundaries he is such a great listener.  We walk him on a prong collar and he is eCollar trained. His adopters will need to commit to continued use of these training tools and also meeting with his board and train trainer to learn about everything he knows.  Gordy loves the snow and playing outside. His favorite is his doggy pool in the summer. We have 4 other dogs in our home and he plays with all of them.  Gordy lived with kids in his first home. He was very protective over them so we do not recommend he go to a home with children under the age of 12. He has been thriving with a farm life and would do best outside of the city. ##954057##

Story

Hi! I'm Louis. I bet you are already wondering if I'm deaf and vision impaired due to my beautiful white coat. I am - but I don't know that. I'm a 1 year old neutered male. Currently in my foster home, I am living with 3 female Danes and 2 teenage human kids. It's great here - I love playing with the other dogs and the kids are pretty great too. My foster mom and dad are teaching me new things. I'm learning but still have a hard time avoiding that stuff they call human food on the counter. I am house trained and am working on kennel training. My foster mom says I would do well with someone who is home more often than not. I'm not a candidate for someone living in an apartment or townhouse as I make a lot of noise in my kennel. If the humans leave, I have to go to my kennel to make sure I'm safe and don't get into anything i shouldn't. I sleep on a dog bed at night but I would really love to snuggle with you and sleep in your bed. A fenced yard for me would be fantastic too so I stay safe. My foster mom says that if she already didn't have too many dogs she would keep me forever. Come meet me - I know you'll want to take me home. ##1793686##

Marley

Great Dane

Male, 8 yrs 8 mos

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Marley is a big senior boy who is just looking for a couch to lay on, a yard to play in, and a human or two to love!  He has a lot of dog reactivity so he's not going to be the dog you can walk through your busy neighborhood with ease if there are dogs around, and he'll need to be put away if other dogs make their appearance to your home.  He has some arthritis in legs that is currently being monitored to determine if pain meds are needed.  He loves to zoomie around the yard, and loves extra snuggles on his own time.  Do you have it in your heart to take in an old boy?  ##1574597##

Story

Howdy, I’m Maple and I am little over 1.5 year Great Dane. I am still in my “puppy” phase as my foster mom would like to call it. I get the zoomies a lot and I like to play with my special needs Great Dane foster bother. I love toys but I can easily chew through the cotton ones. I am hesitant around men and little ones. So a slow greeting is a must! I am crated trained, however I like to be around my human as much as possible and tend to whine when I am crated but I stop after a little bit. I have to be crated when my human is gone because I can’t be trusted since I like to chew on things-- something about this puppy business they say.  I currently sleep on my foster brother dog bed at night and can sleep all night without having issues!  I do tend to counter surf so my foster mom has to keep all the goodies up (I rather she keep them accessible but I guess its for my safety). I am still learning to walk on the leash but I tend to pull when I am excited and run away when there are strangers around. I heard I was getting better though! I am a very good girl that is still working on my manners. I tend to jump when I am very excited and I think the word no, means play. But I can sit, shake, heal, and place because I completed a 4 week board and train! My jumping has gotten a LOT better, still working on the word "no".  I will be a good girl in my furever home, if they are willing to take the time and have patience. I like to chase squirrels and rabbits but also like belly rubs and butt scratches. My back leg looks funny when I am walking and playing but that does not slow me down on bit- they say I need a TPLO surgery so I don't injur myself in the future. You can ask more about this if you're interested in bringing me into your home! ##1719675##
