Story
For more information about this Dane, please visit our website at https://rmgreatdane.org. Adoption Applications link can be found on the home page. Hi – they call me Bubas.  I spent 4 months in a shelter.  They named me Bubas. I checked out of the vet with a clean bill of health, but they recommended some meds for fear and anxiety.  You see, I was found wandering the streets, so I have a very mysterious background – my little secret.  But I can tell you this:  I am scared of a lot of things, especially men and strangers.  Strange Men are the Worst.    I have latched on to Foster Mom and will not leave her side – I don’t growl at Foster Dad anymore, so that’s a bit of progress. I enjoy playing with other dogs and my toys.  I’m good with middle aged to older kids, but the little ones have as much energy as I do and they make me a bit nervous.  Besides, I’m big enough to knock them down when I’m just trying to play with them. I am slowly learning manners and commands and getting better with time.  I’m learning to walk on a harness and leash – regular collars make me alligator roll to get out of them.  I am house trained and crate trained. Here is my idea of the perfect home:  Great Dane Experience, female only household, my people to be home more than not, lots of patience and love, another big dog to pal around with and whom I can learn from,  interest in helping me to learn how to bring out the Awesomeness that is inside of me, and some more love.  Please fill out an application and ask for me.November 6, 2024, 3:48 pm

Story
For more information about this Dane, please visit our website at https://rmgreatdane.org. Adoption Applications link can be found on the home page. Special Needs:  Daily heart medication ($18 per month) Kevin’s photos say so much about his past.  It is clear this boy has been let down before but we at RMGDRI want to help turn things around and provide the love and medical care Kevin deserves.  We are in need of a special foster family willing to support his recovery.  Because we have limited information on Kevin, the ideal home will have no other dogs or cats.  We will consider older, dog savvy teenagers but given limited history, a home with children is not ideal. Like most shelter surrenders, we have limited information on Kevin.  We know based on a vet examination, he will have significant health needs.  We as a rescue will cover his medical care.  We need a loving foster home that has the ability to take him to doctor appointments as needed and provide whatever medical care is required in the home.  We would like to get him out of the shelter as soon as possible.  Kevin will likely remain on medical hold (foster) status with the rescue due to his health needs. More about Kevin: Intact Male (Will be neutered by RMGDRI when medically cleared) House-trained unknown Create trained unknown No children (We have limited history on Kevin) Friendly to people / visitors No dogs (unknown history, shows some reactivity at shelter) No cats (unknown history, shows some reactivity at shelter) Fenced backyard required (unknown leash skills) Giant Breed Experience required due to history; Experience with medical / hospice needs preferred December 3, 2024, 5:36 pm

Story
For more information about this Dane, please visit our website at https://rmgreatdane.org. Adoption Applications link can be found on the home page. Roxxy is a 3–4-year-old Great Dane eager to begin her new chapter and live her best life. Rescued by Rocky Mountain Great Dane Rescue Inc. from a backyard breeder, she gave her final litter of puppies a loving and secure start in a foster home. Now that her puppies have found their forever families, it’s Roxxy’s turn to find the loving home she truly deserves. Personality Highlights: Outgoing yet laid-back, Roxxy is the perfect mix of sociable and serene. She’s a “Velcro dog,” loving to stay close to her family but also enjoys her independence. Roxxy thrives on affection, especially from teenagers, and will soak up all the attention she can get. Though quiet and gentle, she has a playful streak, occasionally chasing or wrestling with other dogs. Quirks & Preferences:&#226&#152&#128&#239&#184&#143 Sunbathing is her favorite pastime, and she loves to lounge in the warm weather. If it’s cold or dark, though, she’s quick to head inside. Car rides are a highlight of her day! She adores the family tradition of bus stop drop-offs and pick-ups but appreciates a little boost to get into the car. Roxxy is terrified of fireworks, so she’ll need a calm and comforting home during noisy celebrations.&#239&#184&#143 She loves the comfort of her crate or a cozy spot like the family “Lovesac.” While she enjoys her family’s company, she also likes quiet moments to herself for naps. Training & Home Etiquette:&#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Crate-trained and house trained with no accidents.&#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Knows basic commands like “sit” and “off.”&#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Trustworthy with free roam and not destructive in the home.&#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Plays gently and can easily give up toys or food. Interactions: Friendly with family and visitors but can be shy, needing gentle introductions and time to adjust. Good with large dogs, although she prefers occasional play and tends to keep to herself. Needs gentle corrections when training What Roxxy Needs in a Family:Roxxy is looking for a patient, loving family that understands her past as an outdoor dog used for breeding. She’s sensitive and will take time to fully settle in, but with love and consistency, she’ll reward her new family with unwavering devotion. Her perfect home includes:&#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Older children or teenagers who will understand her needs and give her the attention she craves.&#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 A calm, understanding environment where she can feel safe.&#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 A family that values her quirks, like her love for sunbathing and occasional solo nap time. Roxxy has come a long way and is ready to start the next chapter of her life with a family who will embrace her unique charm and loving nature. More Info about Roxxy: Crate trained: Yes House trained: Yes History with children: good with older children. LOVES attention from teenagers Good with large dogs Unknown with cats Needs continued basic training and leash training Mild energy – needs a calm home Would enjoy a fenced yard Friendly and affectionate but a sensitive girl Fearful of yelling and loud noises  February 10, 2025, 4:38 pm

Story
Roper was running at large in North Texas and found his happy place at a French Bulldog breeder’s property SO if you see some really big FBs you know who the baby daddy is! He got his name because the sheriff roped him to break up the party. Our founder drove him to Colorado and just because of his size, she said people wouldn’t even make eye contact with her at gas stations, especially when she got him out to tinkle. She felt totally safe with him and so happy to have him along for the ride. He is 80-ish pounds and we think Dane and whatever. Roper has since been neutered, is current on vaccines, and has been working with a trainer on general obedience. His best owner would be alpha and keep up his training. This boy is sweet and athletic - watching him run and play is a beautiful thing. Please email dancingdogrescueco@gmail.com for foster or adoption information.

Story
Meet Goliath, a stunning Great Dane with a heart as big as his name suggests. This gentle giant was found as a stray and brought to a shelter, where he quickly won over the staff with his kind and loving demeanor. They described him as sweet, gentle, and a total favorite during his stay. Goliath may be dog-selective and seems to prefer a calm, low-stress environment. When he was found, he was involved in a scuffle with another dog, which the shelter staff believes may have been due to a female in heat nearby. He has since been tested with other dogs at the shelter, and while his introductions weren’t perfect (he showed some hesitation with his hackles raised), they were promising. Goliath might thrive as the only dog in the home or could potentially coexist with a calm and patient canine companion. We’re still getting to know Goliath and learning more about his needs since rescuing him from the shelter on 2/11/25. What we do know is that he’s a sweet soul who’s looking for a loving forever home where he can feel safe and cherished. If you think you could be the one to give this big boy the second chance he deserves, we’d love to hear from you! Prospective adopters should fill out an application on our website. Goliath is waiting to meet you! 💙

Story
Angle is a 4.5 Year Old Great Dane/Smooth Coated Collie Mix. She loves playing with other dogs and ignores cats, unless they want to play. She loves her people and even though she loves playing with other dogs, she really wants her human all to herself. She is also laid back and enjoys a good cuddle and chill on the couch while catching up on some TV. Angle is crate trained, enjoys toys and completely untrustworthy on free roam with high interest items (this includes expensive items; we don’t know how she knows – but she does!) If you think you are Angle's forever home, please complete an adoption application at https://www.savethegiants.com/adoption-process .
