My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing Meeko!



Outgoing Playful Loving Alert



Appearance: Meeko is a true stunner! This handsome fawn-coated Great Dane has endless affection and an outgoing personality.



Sweet Nature: Meeko is not just handsome; he's also incredibly sweet. He can be unsure of new people, but totally falls in love with them when given a chance to observe them first.  His warm and welcoming disposition to those he loves makes him an instant favorite.



Training and Health: He's healthy, up to date on vaccines, neutered, housetrained, and kennel trained. His knowledge of basic commands, such as sit, down, come, and shake, showcases his willingness to learn and please.



Areas of Work: Meeko is a vocal boy who barks at anything and everything. This is a habit he'll need some help with, but it's also a testament to his alertness. Due to his vocal nature, a home within city limits or in an apartment complex may not be the ideal fit for him. While he is sweet, Meeko can show a stubborn side. He will push boundaries if he doesn’t have a strong leader.



Energy: Meeko has an abundance of energy and a thirst for adventure. He needs plenty of exercise and daily stimulation to keep him happy and healthy.



Secure Yard: Meeko has made great strides in responding to recall commands. Even though he has made progress, he will still require a physical fence to ensure his safety while exploring and playing. A fence of at least 6 feet is preferred.



Family Compatibility: While there are no children in his current foster home, Meeko has shown affection for kids in his previous home. If children are part of his adoptive family, they must have previous experience with big dogs, as his size and energy level may be a lot for younger or inexperienced kids. Meeko seeks out male companionship and will benefit from a positive male presence in his forever home. A strong and loving bond with a male figure will be meaningful to him.



Other Dogs and Cats: Meeko enjoys the company of other dogs but requires slow, supervised introductions. It's recommended that there are no cats in the forever home until he has bonded with his new family and responds consistently to their guidance.



Meeko is a bundle of love and energy ready to embrace the world with open arms. If you're an experienced Dane owner and have the time and dedication to help Meeko thrive, please reach out to us. Meeko is eager to find his forever home, where he can embark on endless adventures and share his heart with you. Please complete one of the following steps to make Meeko a part of your family.



1. If you have already completed the application process and are an approved adopter with UMGDR, please contact Meeko’s Placement Coordinator at callie@thegreatdanerescue.com to learn more about him.

This sweetheart is currently located in Presque Isle, WI.

More about this rescue

Upper Midwest Great Dane Rescue was started in 2008 by a group of Dane lovers who desire to help Danes in need. The rescue is made up of all volunteers who lovingly give of their time and money to help these wonderful dogs. Volunteers include people from every walk of life, all with one thing in common, love of Great Danes.

Each animal coming to the rescue is temperament tested, given a physical, vaccinated, wormed, checked for heartworm and tick borne illnesses and treated as needed. All dogs are sterilized before being re homed. The dog is then placed in a foster home to wait for someone to love it forever.
