Story
Meet Ellie Ellie is a stunning 3-year-old Great Dane with a sleek gray and white coat and a personality as big as her 100-pound frame. This gentle giant is the perfect mix of beauty, charm, and goofiness. She loves snuggling up with her favorite humans, wrapping herself in blankets, and going for car rides where she can take in all the sights. Eli has been with other dogs and can get along. However we feel maybe a home where she gets ALL the attention is best . And given her size and energy, we think she would do best in a home with Great Dane or large dog experience. While she’s friendly and social, she doesn’t always realize just how big she is, so she needs someone who understands the needs of a giant breed and can give her the love, structure, and attention she deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a goofy streak, Ellie could be the perfect addition to your family! Ellie is spayed and has had a gastropexy . She is also a heartworm survivor! This girl is resilient and strong. To apply to adopt one of our dogs fill out our adoption application at this link: https://form.jotform.com/ChasingSunshine/Chasing-Sunshine-Adoption-App (Or copy/paste link into your browser) The Chasing Sunshine Dog Rescue adoption donation is $620.00. This includes: spay/neuter (at our vet), vaccines (dhpp, bordetella, rabies), microchip, health certificate, fecal test and our dogs are on preventatives for fleas/ticks/heartworm.

Story
Minnie is an extremely sweet and playful pup! She does well on a leash and enjoys daily walks with other dogs. She gets along great with dogs, cats, and kids, making her a wonderful family companion. Minnie loves playing tug of war and sometimes thinks she’s a lap dog. She can be vocal when she wants attention and still has plenty of puppy energy, so she’ll need a home that can give her plenty of exercise and playtime. She enjoys being outside, exploring new places, and going on adventures. At the end of the day, she’s always ready to snuggle up for some love. Minnie is crate trained and eager to find her forever family! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Sawyer is a 5 year old neutered male. This BIG (200lb+) boy loves everyone and has never met a human stranger. We are helping his family find a new home as he has become increasingly agitated with the other dogs in his home. He will do best as an only pet. He has a lot of love to give!

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Achilles is an almost 1 year old Great Dane/mastiff mix is what we were told when we got him. He is 90 pounds and received his full shots not too long ago. Achilles was my ex boyfriends who left him with me. I am a single mom of 2 who works full time and do not have the financial means or time to take care of him properly and I feel like I am doing him a disservice. He has separation anxiety. He does extremely well with children though due to not being neutered he is best in a home without another dog. I can’t afford him on top of 2 daycares and everything else alone and I’m not able to give him the care/attention he needs. I hope to find him a good home. He loves to cuddle, he is house trained and will let you know when he needs to go, can do basic commands like sit, paw, lay down. He is extremely smart and I barely tapped his potential. He could use some work on a leash and on jumping on people. I am willing to provide everything I have of his and am just looking for a good home.

Story
WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Stormy - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Hello all you fantastic people out there, let me introduce myself. My name is Stormy and I'm here hoping to adopt me a family...one that I can say will be all mine! And I'm really hoping since you're reading this, you are considering adding ME to be part of your family!! I am about 2.5 years old and come in at around 112lbs. Yes, that's a big gal but I'm sweet and loving and well...that's just a little bit more of me to love you!! I have a very sweet loving temperament that does well with people but would probably do better in a home with older children as sometimes I don't realize my own size with the wee little ones. I get on great with other pups but haven't had the pleasure yet of meeting any of those strange creatures y'all call a cat. I am a pro at getting out of flimsy fencing so I will need a secure fence or leash walked. I am housetrained already, making it easy for us to get right to the fun stuff...right away. I'd love to share all your adventures from the mundane daily to the weekend exciting. I love getting pets, going for strolls, hiking nature trails and relaxing on the couch watching your favorite TV program. If you're ready for lots of love and affection, I is that big gal for you! All you need to do is fill out my adoption application and I will do the rest!! You can find it at haydudeequine.org
