Story
Whiskey is a great dog, he is an awesome companion dog. He has lots of energy but he can also cuddle. He is mostly potty trained but can have accidents if left alone for more than 8 hours. He is used to be kennel trained but we have not used it in a while, he sleeps in his own bed. He loves to go on walks and he is very active and does not like thunderstorms. He is very selective of food scraps and treats, he just like what he likes! He adores kids, any age. Does not like cats or small dogs, he might think they are toys or prey. Whiskey can jump very high! Therefore if you have a fence it needs to be 6 to 8 ft otherwise you will have to leash him to go outside. We are looking for someone that have time to spend with him and love him as a part of the family.

Story
Louie is my mother's dog, a 19-lb Cairn terrier, approx 7-yrs old . He recently moved up north from FL this spring with her. My father passed last winter, and we moved mom to be near us. My mother has diagnosed Alzheimer's, and now is in an assisted living apartment that allows pets, as long as the tenant can care for them. Mom has been showing decreased reliability in feeding and taking Louie out properly over the past nine months, and staff at the facility have indicated that Louie will need to be re-homed soon (early January 2025). We have all tried everything we can think of to keep them together. Louie is a good sweet boy, and loyal, but he can be overly protective of his owner, which can manifest with growling/snarling if his owner's space is encroached upon unexpectedly. He should likely not be homed with other small pets/young children. He is a cuddler, & loves walks and naps, and is a great guard dog. We just want to find him a loving home.

Story
We got Lu when he was about 4 months old from a family that was moving to Florida and they couldn’t take his liter with. He is turning three years old on November 25th. We are needing to rehome him, as I found out I am pregnant and I am due at the end of April. We are unable to give him the time and attention that he needs due to our work schedule and preparing for our first child. He is very loving, loyal, and playful, we hope to find him a home that can give him the love and attention that he needs.

Mutt Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Story
Kevin is a 9 year old mixed breed from Texas. She has been in our family the entire time and has lived with children, cats and other dogs her entire life. We had at one time done a genetic test on her to find her breed and it was a lot of different breeds including unexpected ones like pitbull and Chihuahua. Go figure. We might be able to find that again but don't have it currently. Kevin is very affectionate and a wonderful family addition. She does, unfortunately like to wander and has gotten us in some trouble for being picked up on adventures too many times. She will not bolt and run when we're near or when the door opens but she will slip the back gate or under the fence if we're not paying attention. We are forced to re-home her because the police have recovered her 3 times now and there has been a lot of threats from them about legal consequences. It's unfortunate, but because we are unable to keep her contained we have to re-home her. It is a non issue if she gets regular walks

Story
Introducing Luna! Sweetheart Adaptable Courageous Affectionate  Luna is one half of an extraordinary pair of Great Danes who embody courage, kindness, and boundless love. Luna and her brother, Ares, are ready to embark on a new chapter of their lives with you. This lovely lady is a stunning, white Great Dane who exhibits grace and charm that's simply unmatched. Her world is painted in shades of love and determination due to overcoming vision impairments with remarkable finesse due to her hearing and smelling She has proven that strength lies not in what we see, but in the unwavering spirit within. With every step, she demonstrates her determination to explore life to the fullest. Her bond with her brother is something truly special. They continue to find support from each other as they navigate their world safely. Their connection is a testament to the power of love and companionship, and they must be adopted together to ensure that they continue to thrive. They both love to be around their people and soak up the attention. While they aren't that into playing with toys, they do love going for walks and car rides! These two gentle giants can be the perfect addition to your family and can do well in a household with cats and older children. Due to their special needs, a home where they will be the only dogs is necessary. Both dogs are housebroken, crate-trained, and walk well on a leash. Their foster family has also noted they do well during car rides. A physical fence and minimal steps are required due to them having difficulty with hearing and vision. Neither dog has any medical/health concerns, but Ares occasionally requires an ointment for his eye. Are you ready to open your heart and home to this remarkable pair of siblings?

If you have already completed the application process and are an approved adopter with UMGDR, please contact Ares & Luna’s Placement Coordinator at callie@thegreatdanerescue.com to learn more about them. 2.
