Thor – Private Adoption

Here is what Thor’s owner wrote about him.

” My boy’s name is Thor and he did turn 6 this year. He is so loving and grew up with my daughters who
Are 10, 9, and 8 but he has been around kids his whole life. He is great with all ages and even strangers. He loves anyone who is willing to give him love. He is not aggressive at all but we don’t socialize him often because of his size. Everything others dogs are around he gets excited and his size makes them attack him which gets him worked up but he’s never bitten or gotten into any altercations with any other dogs. Just lots of sniffing and barking. He is very spoiled so not very good on the leash so we have always just used soft choke leashes on him. We do have another dog that also grew up with him but it still does not help with the separation anxiety. It’s getting really bad and very hard to watch him suffer. The other dog we have does nothing for him. He is a full time inside dog except for when we leave the house because he is so smart he always opens our freezers and tries to eat people food. He’s too smart for his own good. He is AKC . He’s got the biggest paws and is just majestic in person. He’s is a mostly white with blue eyes. No vision or hearing loss. He’s amazing. He truly is the sweetest thing.”

Thor would benefit from a home with people who do no wok out of the home. With his separation anxiety he wants people around him as often as he can. If interested in this sweet boy, please contact us at [email protected] if you have completed an Aoption Application.

Both Puppies Found Homes Quickly because of our waitlist!

What cute babies, right? They came in together and since they were too young to be altered, we pulled from our “adopted from us before” wait list.

So far babies doing well and growing. Update photos soon! When we get in youngsters who can’t be altered our only choice is to adopt to families we have worked with before and trust to bring them back to us for altering later on.

Lacey and her new brother Marbles!

Marbles has been adopted. Thanks to Basil and Chelsea for opening their home to another Dane. They adopted Lacey (the harlequin) from us last year. She’ll certainly help Marbles acclimate to his new home Congratulations to all!

Lacey Getting Ready for Halloween

Thanks to Chelsea for sending us this totally perfect photo of the Halloween costume for her girl Lacey. A Harlequin girl dressed in a harlequin costume? this will be hard to beat, but send in your Halloween photos of your great danes and let’s see what we get. All photos will be posted and lets have the Dane world vote for their favorite! I’ll dress up one of my cats and see what I can contribute….. Oh, did I tell you there will be prizes!!

KILA in her new home!


“Here is KILA, one week after I adopted her.
She is super smart and loves being an inside dog.
She is enjoying her new bed, although she appears to be camouflaged.”

Thanks to Peggy Sullivan for giving Kila a great new home.

Bosco enjoying life

Great photos of Bosco and his “brother” Elliott living the good life. Thanks to Doug and MJ Vincent for adopting him from us, they are long time Great Dane Rescue adopters. Their girl Luna was with them 8 years after they adopted her and lived a long life.

Bodie Turns Six!

Doesn’t everyone go all out for your Dane’s birthday?? If you don’t, you should according to Bodie who loved his celebration. Thanks again to the Cook family for spoiling him rotten (as well as his sister Stevie). Two very lucky rescue Great Danes.
