My story

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


  • Diesel - Male Great Dane

  • Age: 4 Years

  • Gets along with:

    • Cats: Needs slow introduction

    • Dogs: Yes

    • Kids: Needs slow introduction given size



  • Location: Northeast Indiana

  • Weight: 145 lbs



Diesel came into rescue very shutdown, but quickly came out of his shell to a happy Dane, and all that that entails (bouncy boy with a deadly tail). He has fit right in with the three other dogs and cats in his foster home. He is learning what toys are, but doesn’t play much yet. He will follow you around (even when vacuuming) and will help you in the kitchen. He spends the night in his crate, but would prefer sleeping in the bedroom (we will leave that up to his new home). He loves snuggling on the couch, and naps there regularly. He walks on a leash, but needs a little more work. Like most big dogs he like his head and ears scratched, but will turn around so you can scratch his butt.



Diesel would fit in almost any family. He is good with other dogs, but would be happy to be the center of attention as an only dog. He would like occasional walks, but is great at taking naps. His recall is still slow, so a fenced yard would be needed.



Diesel is ready to go to his permanent home. He has come out of his initial shell and is now demanding ear and butt scratches. He has gotten along with every dog, cat and person he has met. He does need a slow introduction, just because of his size. He is learning toys (mostly squeeky ones), and may even bring it back a couple times, but then he wears out. Loves sitting and sleeping on a couch, and given a chance, would love to snuggle at night.



Diesel could fit into any home. It would help if the home had some understanding of giant breeds (having your elbow pushed when cooking, pushing a screen out when curious). He is a fast eater, so will come with a slow feed bowl (it helps a little).

More about this rescue

Just Giant Rescue Inc (JGRI) is a dog rescue catering to giant breed dogs. We don’t discriminate against breed, but they must be giants such as the regal Great Dane, loyal Mastiff, and clownish Saint Bernard, to name a few.

We strive to follow the 3 R’s.
• Rescuing. We rescue from all types of situations, owner surrenders, and from local shelters. We strive to help as many as we can, with what resources we have available.
• Rehabilitating. All dogs are fostered inside loving homes, becoming temporary family members. They are fully vet checked, vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and guarded against heartworm, fleas and ticks. They are also given a temperament test prior to being eligible for adoption.
• Re-homing. Each dog is individually matched with the best suited adoptive home for them. Each applicant wanting to adopt must fill out an application and complete a home check prior to being approved.
