"Carson"
This handsome, tall Boston male, is available for adoption. He is currently in foster care in the Reno, Nevada area. He was found as a stray by local Animal Services. The vet estimates he is between 3-4 years old. He is current on vaccinations, recently neutered and although very thin, is in good health. His foster home reports that he is good with other dogs, housebroken and a sweet boy. He was a bit shy at first, but now is warming up to his new caretakers. They are working on some simple obedience with him, and he has almost mastered the "down" command. If you want more information on Carson, please call Karen at (775) 746-5111.
Duke Special Needs Boy
"Duke" (one year old Harlequin male, neutered BIG boy) came to Rescue from Yuba City Animal Services. He had been surrendered by his owner because she was moving. She did not mention anything about his previous health issues so our vet is just giving his educated opinion on Duke's physical abnormalities. As you can see from the photos, he is not normal. Our wonderful veterinarian (who knows Danes quite well) feels Duke had HOD (Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy) as a puppy which was left untreated. His front legs are thickened but otherwise appear normal in position. His rear legs are a mess. He has thickened stiffles (think knees) and bad muscle tone. He is cowhocked in the lower portion (hocks) of his legs. He gets around very well, although he probably would not be able to jump up into a really high SUV type vehicle. He can run and play with the best of them, although he looks gangly. Other than his obvious deformity, he is a gem of a Great Dane. WONDERFUL personality and temperament. He is housebroken, very obedient, good with children, cats and loves other dogs. He seems to welcome meeting anyone new and just has a wonderful outlook on life. Our veterinarian feels he will have arthritic issues as he approaches his senior years, probably sooner than a normal Dane would, so this is something to be taken into consideration if you adopt Duke. His foster care parent reports separation anxiety after the first few weeks with them. They came home to a chair that was "customized" by Duke, as well as several other small items that were displaced. So, someone who could crate him when gone or leave him in a secure area until he relaxes and realizes all is well would be necessary. If you are interested in helping this sweet boy and add another good deed to your list, please call Colleen at (916) 652-6444.
Private Foster Care Needed
Private Foster Care Needed: "Chloe" needs temporary foster care until her caretaker can find a place that will allow him to keep her. He is taking care of her for a nephew (long story). He has her temporarily at his place, which does not allow dogs, let alone a Great Dane. He is looking for some kind person to house Chloe until he can find a new place (time undetermined). Chloe is two years old, black, spayed, housebroken and VERY sweet. Raised with children 3 to 10 years and good with cats and other dogs. She would be an easy addition to a household. If you can help this nice Dane, please call Rich (in Fresno) at (559) 389-4781

Moo
He will be 6 months old tomorrow and is a little over 60 pounds already. He is a sweet mellow boy. He is up to date on all vaccines. He was neutered in August and completed a 6 week basic obedience course in early September. He is great off leash and on walks. He doesn't pull or go after cats or dogs. He is very polite to every one. I love him to pieces and can honestly say he has been the best puppy I have ever owned. He came from an oops litter and was the last to find a home. He has been going through so much this past month. His vet and a specialist that saw him both think he is just having sever growing pains or HOD. The vet says he is the most severe case he has ever dealt with. It hurts me every time he relapses. All I can do is give him his medications and hope it passes quickly. It wouldn't be so bad but I work full time doing industrial security at a launch site, I have a 2 1/2 yr old son, my husband is deployed and we are about to move in to our first home. I feel like I have exhausted my resources but I don't just want to euthanize him. I know he is fully capable of beating this and growing up to be a great healthy dog. If you can find someone that has all day to devote to him and his special needs that would be great. If not I will try to stay strong and help him over come this as this comes with the unknown of owning a dog. I am located in Lompoc, CA (northern Santa Barbara county). If there is someone willing to take him on I am willing to drive a little to get him where he needs to be. You can contact me via email at TiSHaR33@aol.com or my work email Leticia.Tobias@ulalaunch.com you can also call my cell 626-827-1983 if I don't answer it is because I get no reception at work, just leave a message with a call back number and I will return the call the same day
Otto
My name is Kristina and I am in search of a loving home for my amazing Otto. I can be reached at 925-437-4874. I would like to give you a little information about this amazing dog. Unfortunately we do not have any more resources in order to take care of him properly and need to find a loving home for him, a home that will care and give their 110% devotion to our baby! Recently my family and I lost our house and can no longer afford to continue the care of our loved one, Otto.
He is a 3 year old male fawn Great Dane. Neutered Raised with my 3 children that are now 13, 7, and 1 1/2 years of age (they adore Otto and love him soooo much)Otto has an amazing temperament and is a VERY loving and sweet dog. LOVES the dog park and playing with his friends there too...He loves your lap, the couch and your bed!!! Will make you laugh when he burps or chases his tail. Great personality...one of a kind...you'll never find another one like Otto Serious health issues and we can no longer afford the tests it will take to find out for sure what is wrong. It is thought that he has IBD (inflammatory bowel disease)Needs special food at the moment and it is getting expensive as well.
