Skinny Clifford

Skinny Clifford

He got that name because he was one of the skinniest, most long legged young Danes we ever had in.

Sherri saw past that and adopted him anyway!

Riley – Wine Ambassador

Riley – Wine Ambassador

Beautiful Riley lives with the Barr family at their winery, the Barr Estate winery (barrestatewine.com) in Paso Robles. She is the un-official “welcoming party of one” to guests at the winery. The Barr family is Riley’s fourth home. Just goes to show that you can’t judge a dog by the number of homes he/she has had.

Here is what Tealy wrote to us when she sent us these photos:

“Here are some photos of Riley. These were taken by some wine club members during their visit. Riley loves people and the attention she gets! She really is the sweetest Dane we have ever had. Thanks again for allowing her to come home with me!”

Benjamin Bleu (formerly Sebastian)

Benjamin Bleu (formerly Sebastian)

Lucky Benjamin to have been adopted by the Moraes family! Kathy sends us frequent updates on how this big blue guy is doing, just as she did for her beloved Sasha.

Here is some of what Kathy wrote to us about Benjamin Bleu:

“Two weeks ago my husband Joseph and I drove to GDRNC and this here handsome young Dane adopted us – – captured all our hearts with his gentle nature and heart – – adores belly rubs and rollin in the grass and taking walks around the neighborhood. Playful and happy, loves squeak toys and giant nylabones, carrying one nearly wherever he goes. He is getting along more and more with all his feline brothers and sisters and doesn’t know what to make of his aquatic family members in the aquarium! Just cocks his head to the side watching as she swims as he does with the animals on TV. A funny sound and with a bark and his hiney up in the air as if to say “hey, I want to play”. We are quickly learning he has a natural affinity and affection for people and animals alike. His nature of patience and gentleness a gift especially for one as young as he.”

Thanks Kathy and Joe for giving this gorgeous boy a permanent, loving home.

Aspen In Her New Home

Aspen In Her New Home

Long time adopter Dottie Poole sent us this nice note on the girl she adopted from our site as a Private Adoption:

“Hi
Hope this finds you well. Wanted to give you an update on our girl. She is doing well. Setting in nicely. She still gets a bit crazy with other dogs but is much better. I don’t think she will ever fit in the doggy door. We were going to change it to a larger size but decided it was toooooooooo large. So she lets us know when she needs out. We will either board her or find someone to stay as we need to. We love her. She goes most places with us. She did loose weight but she will never be slim. Thank you so much for the opportunity to have her.

Love you guys”

We appreciate return customers! Thanks to Dottie for being such a great home to Great Danes.
