We received this cute photo from Jill Gutzman in Reno who had adopted two Dane girls from Karen. Here is what she wrote:
“Hi! My mother in law, Maxine, visited with her beautiful girl, Gracie (previously Ruby). The girls all got along and played so well. All these gorgeous danes were adopted from none other than the Northern CA Great Dane Rescue. What fun! We love our girls.”
Thanks to the Knight family for adopting Greta and giving their big boy Gus a sister. All reports say she and Gus are a team!
Jill Gutzman and her son Jack sent us these photos and text about their girl Ellie:
“I had to send this note to Jacks teacher:
So the dog literally ate the homework instructions. (Along with yet another dog bed) Can Jack please have another packet? I’ll try to keep this packet out of the “shredder”.”
(Someone looks very guilty!)
No it’s not the beginning of a bad joke, but an actual event! Tealy Barr, owner of the Barr Estate Winery in Paso Robles (home of the Dane Head wine – a great gift for Great Dane/Wine lovers) had a visitor recently. Leslie Miladinich and her husband decided to do some wine tasting at a Great Dane friendly winery, and met rescue girl Riley. The photo in this post is the two girls obviously dishing some good gossip about their humans. Such a fun time when rescued Great Danes can get together AND their people can drink! At least this sounds good to me……and Karen…..mostly Karen.
Cassie Lowe and her family were on our wait list for over a year waiting for the perfect child friendly Great Dane. She adopted Juno, now Lucy, from us. Here is what she wrote us:
“She is settling into our family PERFECTLY! Every week we see fewer and fewer potty accidents so we know she’s feeling less anxious and settling in with us, too. She follows us around EVERYWHEEERRRRREE which we’ve learned to love about her ?
She is great with the kids. Our youngest, Patrick, especially loves to give her “lovies”. We’ve not had the experiences that the previous owners indicated to you: hole digging, barking incessantly, etc. … she’s truly a gem! Even more: she LOVES her den (crate). We haven’t figured out how to get her to STOP chewing up her dog beds, but that’s another journey…! LOL!
She seems to live to play with cannon (our other fur baby!). From the time they wake up to all moments they get in between, they are wrestling and playing! The kids think the way they run thru the house and crash into the walls as they run down the stairs is HILARIOUS!
After 2 kids- we are proud to say that LUCY is the first reason we’ve had to invest in baby gates! She stands so tall she can right to the food on the counter and baby’s high chair – Sooo- we’ve had to create some boundaries in that regard…easy peasy. Lol!
Anyway – thank you again for helping our family grow. Lucy is a joy and we are blessed to love her in this life. We are the lucky ones.
On the whole, Lucy is great. We’ve had one couch casualty since she’s been here – buuuuut, I guess it was time to upgrade anyway. She drinks from our bathroom faucet and mows they ice cubes. She is still learning how to watch out for people and not run us over and be right on top of our toes- but we know she’ll get there. ❤️
Attached is a fun video of Lucy enjoying water play more than the kids & a picture of she and Cannon cuddling…enjoy!”
A big thank you to Cassie for dealing with some issues with her new girl Lucy. We love people who stick out the honeymoon phase (which can be rough some times) and end up with a really great new family member.
Karen Garner sent us these photos of her boy Moose. Adopted from us at six months of age, Moose is almost a year old and 145 lbs and 36″ at the shoulder. Karen is very happy with her big boy!
Clifford just wants to rest but mom Sherri Lane cant help but snap this cute photo of her boy!
Good news to report! Kaiya (aka Mama dog) now “Molly”, was adopted and is doing well. Here is what her new owner Casey wrote to us:
“Kaiya, aka Mama Dog, now Molly, loves Buddy and my boys. She slept with my youngest throughout night one. She’s a sweet girl and loves running around the house and backyard. She’s so gently my youngest was able to walk her on a leash, unlike buddy. Ha. Just a little update. And she’s drinking and eating well as well.”
Thanks Casey for sending us this nice update and photo. How nice to see an adopter look past a physical issue and see the sweet girl inside.
Assume the position! Ready……Set…..PLAY!!
Thanks to Jill Guntzman for either being really lucky or a master dog handler who was able to shoot these great photos!

New owner Kim Smith Martinez send this nice note and cute photos of her big blue boy.
“Here are some new pics of Baloo (formerly Jameson). He is a big love and makes me laugh every day. We are at the beach nearly daily, he makes friends wherever he goes. I’m so very grateful for him. Just wanted to give you an update ?”
