Whiskey In His New Home

Thanks to Maggie for stepping in and helping not only Whiskey but the Rescue. Whiskey was surrendered to us when everything was closed down due to the pandemic. She had the experience and was set up to take him in as a foster child before we could get him vetted. You can see by the photos Whiskey is now healed, healthy and happy as part of Maggie’s family.

Here’s what Maggie wrote:

“We are doing well! Everyone loves him. He is gaining weight and getting his spunk back.”

Abby and Flynn

Flynn and Abby patiently waiting for the evening dental chew! Thanks to their Mom, Kim, for sending us this cute photo.

A “Law/Chester” Update

Chester’s (formerly Law) owner sent us this nice email on her experience with the big boy so far. We appreciate when people give a new dog time to settle in, realizing all new additions don’t go smoothly right away.

“He is so much work but so much love. Each day he is learning more. He is very smart and quite bonded with me already. I have to be on him for trying to keep Remi away from me. I have set strict boundaries for him to start. Then as time goes by I will give him more privileges. He started testing his boundaries immediately and I have to be very consistent. He is very smart. He is also use to doing whatever he pleases. He is very good at wanting to please but like a toddler, he keeps pushing the envelope!

Thank you so much for all your confidence in me and for choosing him to be part of our family. He is so happy and has such an exuberance for life. He is learning and seeing things for the first time, and is just so excited about everything. He is going to be such a good boy when he learns everything . We love him very much!”

Law, now Winchester (Chester for short), is doing very well in his new home with his two canine siblings. Thanks again to Jeannette for adopting this boy.

Doug and Peggy Have A New Dane!

Our wonderful photography team, Doug and Peggy Peterson, just adopted a new girl! Her original owner contacted us to help them find Lola a new home, and Doug and Peggy offered to do foster care, which we now term a “foster fail”. Lola is now Lola Peterson. Doug and Peggy had lost two very senior Danes recently {Mr. Sampson and Lulu) and just could not deal with being Dane-less. Here is what Peggy wrote to us:

“Well, we feel like we hit the jackpot with Lola! She is practically perfect, and is really settling in now that it’s been a full week. We’ve taken her to the lake a few times, where she’s met people and other dogs, and while she started out barking, she ended up making friends. On a long neighborhood walk, she never barked at dogs or people. She loves riding in the car, has never had an accident in the house, and is generally sweet and gentle. Her skittishness has really dissipated and she’s more confident every day. We love watching a Great Dane with happy feet race through our yard! She was obviously well-loved and cared for by her first owners. There’s no way we would give her up! Thanks for asking us to foster her, it was perfect timing for us and she’s the perfect dog.”

Zeus In His New Home

Zeus was listed on our website as a Private Adoption.

Here is what his new family wrote to us:

“My family adopted Zeus on June 19th and absolutely adore him. He is a typical dane who loves to lean, snuggle, do zoomies, give hugs and refuses to believe he is as big as he is. Zeus loves looking out the windows into the front yard & using the doggy door to sunbathe in the backyard. He is my shadow when I move around in the house, he is my sous chef when I’m in the kitchen putting his head on the counter to watch what I’m doing and he loves to “help” my husband water the yard.

We adopted a great dane named Dolly from GDRNC years ago – a sweet merle who had her hips removed, came to us as a foster and we shortly after adopted her and loved her so much until she passed away.

We are so grateful for GDRNC posting about Zeus needing a home and we’re truly grateful he is a part of our family now.”

The Odd Couple

Another cute photo of Nicholas and Elliot.

It must be love!

Titan and Shawnee

Another cute photo from Barbara Slobodian of her kids Titan and Shawnee, both rescues.

Shawnee can finally relax, teaching Titan the ropes in their home has finished. He was a good student and a wonderful family addition. (And they initially thought they were done with Danes!)

Finn and her sisters

Finn’s new bed was delivered but the “sisters” insist on snuggling together. Looks like Kim will be out shopping for another bed that’s large enough for all three.

Yes, there are three girls there. Little Bailee is on the right by Finn’s head.

Thanks to Kim Hutsell for sending this sweet photo.
