Story
So, you know how SLOW the glaciers move, right?? WELL, that is the not like me :) I am only 6 months old and a SUPER playful pup, so I am thinking that my rescuers named me because of my white coat and NOT because I am slow and lazy :) So, I am most definitely a Great Pyrenees and Lab Retriever mix. I have double dew claws and a nice LONG snout. I want nothing more than to have a family who will love me for my bipolar breed mix... I am the perfect mixture :D I will be a big boy, I have long legs and HUGE feet. I actually don't have the long thick hair of the pyr, that is kind of nice right?? However, labs shed too. You must love the white doggy glitter I will leave behind. ADOPT ME SOON!!! I am not getting any younger, or smaller! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Dobbie is a beautiful 2 year old Great Dane that has had a rough year. She was found as a stray and very pregnant. She delivered her puppies and sadly she lost them all. Then Dobbie developed an infection and had to have emergency surgery. She is doing well now and recovering. To top all of it, she is heartworm positive and will start treatment very soon. At this time, Dobbie is available as a foster to adopt. Dobbie is fully vaccinated, spayed, on heartworm/flea/tick preventative, and has had gastropexy to help avoid the stomach from rotating. This poor baby is the sweetest and deserves a forever loving home.

Story
Welcome Plainer to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 4-year-old Great Dane. She came in with a male Great Dane and she does great with him. She has a little grey on her muzzle and she smiles and wrinkles her nose. She then puts her head in your hands. It was startling the first time we saw her wrinkle her nose. We thought it was a negative indicator but the more we worked with her the more we knew it was her way to smile. She is adorable. She is moderately active and would be fine with a lower energy family. She will be fine as an only pet and she would be fine with children. She is an adult so you won’t have all the puppy antics to put up with. She is good in her crate and good on a leash. She is currently going to be cleared for the heartworms and then spayed and readied for her forever home. She is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is 180. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

Hello Future Family!! My name is DESIREE and I am a lovable 4 year old AKC registered Great Dane. I came into the rescue a very skinny girl but I have filled out nicely with the wonderful meals I have received. I am looking for my forever family - my foster parents love me but they said they have many doggies that need their help too. I love affection and laps, stuffed toys and my Nyla bones.

Please send an email to my foster mom @ Sbanimalrescue@yahoo.com and tell her you have a soft spot for a big mush like me - I am waiting for you. Applications can be found on our website www.starbrightanimalrescue.org or please e-mail sbanimalrescue@yahoo.com for an application for DESIREE.

Story
Blossom is our little…. Let us rephrase that…. BIG beautiful Blue Merle Great Dane girl that will delight any Dane loving family! She was born a year ago and her mom died shortly after giving birth and she and her siblings were bottle fed by the owner of her mom and dad. This girl spent the first year of her life in this home with a Dane brother and her Great Dane father.  Soon the elderly owner realized that having so many large dogs in her care were just too much to handle.  She was not able to properly feed everyone and to maintain their care and get everyone spayed and neutered and all shots done.  The love of this kind woman shows through so clearly in Blossom’s spirit and she is kind, and loving and sweet and gentle with all the new friends she has made on the foster’s farm.  Her owner gave our Critter Cavalry Rescue foster her two young Danes to find special homes,  Neville is her brother.  She lives on a fun little hobby farm where Blossom has now learned how to live with a pig, some horses, a few cats, a donkey, visiting grandchildren who are young and dog savvy and the things that used to scare her at first are now just a part of her every day joy to live amongst.  She is still cautious At first on meeting new animals or people.  Soon she warms up and make close friends with everyone.  She is graceful like an Antelope and almost as fast.  Her favorite Thing to do is run in the field with her dog friends.   She is the fastest one running amongst them all.  She trusts her environment and all that live there and at night will plant herself in front of the TV and curl up at her the foot of her foster mom while she winds down from her farm life busy day.   Blossom is a prize indeed.  If you are interested in this gorgeous Blue Merle Dane who is one year old and weighs 95 pounds, please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com   PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.October 31, 2024, 2:39 pm

Story
We are so excited to be a part of changing the future for this handsome male Great Dane called Neville.  Recently we were asked to help this one year old fawn colored boy to find a home and to do all the vetting from the ground up. You see, Neville was orphaned at birth when his momma died and he was hand- raised and fed by a woman who dearly loved him and still does. Eventually, she realized she was overwhelmed due to his size and the future of caring for him (she was a senior lady)  and sadly she surrendered him to Critter Cavalry Rescue.   Soon our foster mom who has two Great Danes herself, quickly figured out that Neville had only been around his Great Dane dad and siblings all his life and it was a sight to behold when he met the variety of dogs at this new foster home.  Neville tucked his tail and ran with sheer fright! He has since embraced all the foster dogs, cats, horses, donkeys and pigs as his friends. This special boy doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. And if you know the Dane breed traits, he is all of those and more.  He loves to run and play with all his new dog friends and we think he believes he has died and gone to dog heaven with all these friends to play with. Eager to please, Neville is the happiest when he puts his huge head in your lap to absorb all the love from his foster mom.  He loves to be petted and told how good a boy he really is. He is still a wee bit timid of new things and he will seek out a kind human to lean on for reassurance that all is well.   He is not in the house 24/7, but close to being housebroken all the same.  He has been neutered and we talked his stomach for the prevention of stomach flipping later in life.  This common malady effects the large breed dogs in high numbers and the reality of it happening is huge.  It is costly and often how large dogs end up in the ER at the expense of well over $5000 with no guarantee that the emergency surgery will save the dog.   We try to give this all-important insurance by tacking the stomach to help prevent any future flipping of the stomach.  We know that Neville will be the love of some family’s life if he is chosen.  We will require a fenced yard and someone that does not leave him 8-9 hours daily for work.  Shorter work hours away are fine, but he will be lonely if left crated for 8-9 hours. If you are interested in this giant lovebug please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com   He is worth every penny donated to adopt him.  You will see that instantly. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.October 31, 2024, 2:39 pm

Timber does prefer to be the only dog because he loves his people so much. Timber would be an amazing addition to your family and being nothing but love and laughter and sloppy kisses.

This girl is now the last of her litter still looking for a home and we don't know why! She has the sweetest personality.... She is playful but not crazy playful. She is also a very calm dog, not much bothers her. She gets along with other dogs, cats and kids. She is house broken with a doggy door, if there isn't one, she will need to learn the new bathroom routine. She does well on a leash and in a car. She is very curious and does like to find new things to chew (not furniture, mainly random stuff laying where she can get to it). She is just a wonderful gal who deserves a family to love. She's in Tennessee but can be transported to you through Rescue Riders.
