Hi there! I’m Arizona, a charming and strong Great Dane located in Greeneville, Tennessee. Let me tell you a bit about myself from my perspective!
I’m a doll, but don’t let that fool you—I can be a solid guard dog. I alert quickly to anything that approaches the house and am cautious of strangers, but I’m fiercely loyal to my household. I bark sparingly and am generally very quiet. Also, I don’t lick at all.
Like most Danes, I’m torn between two elements. I love to be doted on and enjoy my naps. I’m still young, so I have bursts of energy, but it’s clear that I’m waiting for a home to keep me, nourish me, and love me.
I’m very well house-trained but not happy with crates or being restrained. When my current family leaves the house, they let me have the whole place. If I’m closed in a room, I can damage doors and frames. I do chew, but if my toys are present, that makes me happy. Just keep counters and tables clear of anything you want to be spared.
I yearn to play with other dogs, but my size can be an issue for smaller dogs. I’m ‘happy’ punchy, meaning I throw my weight around when I want to play, which can be scary for smaller animals or create quick tension. I would likely work best in a home without dogs or with dogs my own size.
I’m strong—all muscle, especially in my forelegs and shoulders. During a vet visit, the vet said I have the veins of an elephant, which is true. I can scale small and even relatively large fences without much effort. It seems I’ve been a stray most of my life, so this might be my first instinct in a new home.
Once I settle with my new family, I’m content and happy, looking for love and my chew toys. I nap often. But if you want a house guarded, I have the boom in my voice to make sure I’m heard and understood.
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and protective companion, I’m your girl. Can’t wait to meet you and become a part of your family!
Love, Arizona

More about this rescue
To rescue Great Danes from neglect, abuse, and abandonment while providing medical care and individual rehabilitation through our experienced and loving foster home program until we are able to provide each rescued Dane with a qualified, caring, and permanent home that will ensure a good quality of life they deserve.
To assist owners that cannot afford spaying, neutering or heartworm treatment as funds allow while also educating owners on affordable, local spay/neuter clinics, spay/neuter benefits, vaccinations, backyard breeding, behavior, nutrition, and obedience. Additionally, we want to be a link point to other rescues and clubs. Raising awareness around rescues and the Great Dane breed is of great importance to us.
We have been rescuing Great Danes since 2011 and we take pride in the collective love, concern, and dedication we have given to the misunderstood and forgotten Danes. It is our mission to continue to be the voices of the less fortunate Danes and to provide them safety and their birthright to a quality of life filled with love and dignity. You can help us achieve our mission by donating funds, items from our wishlist, items of relevance, your time through volunteering, or by lending your home as a foster.
