Hi there! I'm an adorable, 86-pound furball who absolutely loves food and people. When I first got to my foster home, I was a bit skeptical of people and sudden moves freaked me out. But now, I've learned that most people are pretty cool and just want me to love on them. I'm sweet as can be, and I adore petting-don't stop or I'll annoy you to no end! I've also mastered the 'go lay down' command and I'm pretty good about following it. I'm a big fan of going on walks, though there are a few things I'm not too keen on. Fast-moving objects like runners, bikers, and motorcycles make me nervous, so watch out! And if we encounter another dog on our walk, you'll see me getting a bit anxious. I'm okay with my crate, especially if you entice me with a treat. I might whine a bit, but once you leave, I'll settle down. Just remember, the crate is for when you're gone-otherwise, I'm happy to be out and about. My foster mom doesn't let me sleep on the bed, and while I understand, I've been known to sneak onto the couch when she's not looking (shh, don't tell her!). There are a couple of things I really don't like: the vacuum and the lawnmower. I think they're out to get me. But overall, I'm a loving and loyal companion who's always ready for some affection and a good walk (as long as we avoid those fast-moving and four-legged things)!

Our dogs are in foster homes so we know a lot about them.. so we will work hard with approved adopters to find s dog that will be a good family member. For example if an adopter has small children we would match them with dogs who are known to be good with small kids.

Great Dane Rescue of North Texas, Inc. is an all volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing medical attention and foster care while seeking permanent homes for abandoned Great Danes in the North Texas area.
GDRNT works with animal shelters to save the lives of Great Danes on death row. Many dogs that come into our program are sick, injured or have suffered abuse but there are just as many happy, healthy, well-adjusted Great Danes that find themselves facing the euthanasia needle because of hardships faced by their families.
GDRNT finds loving and knowledgeable permanent homes; educates the public about the temperament, characteristics and special needs of the Great Dane breed; teaches responsible pet ownership; and promotes animal identification programs, spay/neuter programs and general animal population control.
We do not have a shelter – all the Great Danes in our care are placed in trained foster homes after the dog is spay/neutered, heartworm tested, given Rabies, DHLPPC and Bordetella vaccinations, fecal tested, micochipped and treated for any other necessary veterinary needs.
While a Great Dane is in GDRNT’s care, it lives as part of a foster family. During this time, each Dane’s health and temperament is evaluated which helps us make appropriate permanent placements in approved adoptive homes. In addition to providing medical and emotional rehabilitation, all foster homes crate train, work on basic obedience and housebreaking.
