Story

Hi, I’m Daphne. I’m a 2-3 year old, 75 lb, Great Dane/labrador mix. I’m a lean, sweet, loving machine. A real dog’s dog.I’m told there’s a lot to like about me. I’m a big cuddler and love spending time with my humans. One of my favorite things when I get out of my crate each morning is to do my patented Dane lean against my people and get their scratches. I’ll always greet you at the door with a full body wag to welcome you home. In fact, I’m a bit of a Velcro dog and like to see what you’re up to. Oh, you’re going to the bathroom? Great, I’ll walk you there! I love the end of the day when we meet on the couch to watch movies. I’ll either steal the blankets or become one depending on the day. Even though I’m tall, I don’t countersurf, and I don’t drool either. I’ve never had an accident in the house, and I’ll let you know when I need to go outside. Everywhere I go people compliment my shiny black coat. I love food, treats, and pleasing my people, which means I’m happy to train and learn from you. I’ve gone to some training classes and have had a lot of time recently to practice my moves: sit, down, stay, come, touch, and watch me. As I said, there’s a lot to like! I love people, dogs, car rides, walks, sticks, and toys. I like to exercise, like running around my fenced in yard and going for long walks. I’ve also gone to daycare a couple of times a week and am an all-star there. I don’t live with children currently, but generally love people. Sometimes I don’t know my own size and strength, and I like to talk with my paws, so I may accidentally bump or bop you. I also don’t live with a cat or other smaller critters currently, but they can get my attention on walks, so they may not be the best bunkmates for me. My people are heartbroken to be looking for a new home for me, but unfortunately, their other dog and I are not a good combination. She’s older and prickly to begin with, and I think my upbeat energy bothered her. Plus there was that time she ate my kibble, and I really didn’t like that.I can sometimes get worked up on walks. Things that move quickly and other dogs on leashes just get me excited! But with training I’ve already gotten a lot better, and now I can usually let bicyclists and runners go by me without barking. I'm still working on not reacting to other dogs, but I’ve improved there too. I’ve got all my shots and take my monthly preventatives. I was surprised to learn I had heartworm last year, but I’ve completed my treatment and am just waiting for the all clear from the vet. I’m still taking it easy until that happens, but I’m excited I'll get to exercise and play again soon! I’m quite an athlete, even if my humans sometimes laugh at my more clumsy moments. I would be a really great addition to many homes, so I hope you’ll ask to meet me!--------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption. Please note that the majority of our dogs in rescue are from shelters where they have been found as strays or abandoned. Their breed description is based on our very best educated guess based on physical characteristics and their dispositions. If they came to our rescue as an owner surrender, the breed description will be listed as provided by the previous owner.Adoption Fee - $400To apply for this pup, please submit an Adoption Application at http://warriordogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-application/

Story

Willy is almost 3 years old and is a rescue dog. Willy is a lovable dog with a lot of energy. We live in a walkable area with a small yard. Willy usually will announce when someone is walking by. He has more energy than our small yard can provide. Willy is not great with cats. And while he seems to like other dogs, we have another dog (here before Willy) and Willy can be aggressive and domineering to her. Willy loves attention and we believe would be more happy in a home with a large yard where he is the only dog. He is very smart and could use consistent training. In addition to the Dane and Pyrenees, Willy is also part terrier which has kept him a medium size rather than a large dog.

Story

Introducing Sophie! Sweetheart Playful Energetic Snuggly Personality: Sophie has a heart of gold. She is incredibly sweet and playful. Sophie has an affectionate personality and eagerly seeks out snuggles and attention. She loves engaging in play and exercise but also enjoys curling up on the couch or bed for some quiet time. Sophie is curious, funny, and always ready to be your companion, whether for outdoor fun or cozy cuddles. Socialness: Sophie is very social and loves every dog she meets, big or small, though her size and play style make her best suited to homes with larger dogs. She does well with children and in her prior home lived with kids aged 9, 12, and 14, snuggling and playing with them. She is unaware of her size so families with smaller children will need to monitor interactions so they don't get knocked over. While Sophie is immediately trusting of women and children, she is shy around men and may need extra time to build trust. She does not always come when called by men, which may indicate past trauma or a lack of socialization, but she warms up with patience and care. Sophie is still learning appropriate behavior around cats, so slow and structured introductions would be necessary if her forever home has feline companions. Likes: Playing with large dogs and engaging in high-energy games. Running freely in a large fenced yard or visiting the dog park for socialization. Snuggling on the couch or bed with her favorite people. Chewing on toys, fleece blankets, and occasionally anything she deems interesting. Sometimes chewing on inappropriate items, but she can be redirected and is working on improving this behavior. Neck scratches, head pets, and full-body rubs. Dislikes: Being left alone for long periods. Small spaces or limited opportunities for exercise. Training: Sophie is housebroken and rarely has accidents when kept on a consistent routine. She will alert her family when she needs to go outside by placing her head in their lap or climbing onto them. She knows basic commands and has attended a 10 day obedience board and train at Knox And The Hound In Knoxville, IA. The trainer there is willing to give a complimentary free session to adopters so they know how to work with Sophie and continue in her training. Sophie does not exhibit food aggression or resource guarding and is well-behaved with her meals. While she does not need to be crated, she does best when left for short periods in a safe environment. Continued training will help her with her occasional jumping when excited and her leash skills. Health: Sophie is in great health with no current concerns. Forever Home Requirements: Sophie’s ideal forever home will have, A securely fenced yard, as she does not prefer to potty on a leash and requires space to run and burn off energy. A home with a midsize to large yard is ideal. Another large dog for play and companionship would be a plus but is not a requirement. A family that is home most of the time, as she loves being around her people. She loves being with her people but is likely to do well crated for 6 to 8 hours at a time if her family is out of the house. A family that can provide her with daily exercise and mental stimulation. Apartments or shared living spaces are not a good fit for Sophie due to her shyness with unknown men. Sophie is the perfect combination of playful and loving. She is adaptable and eager to please, making her an incredible addition to any family ready to offer her the companionship, playtime, and love she deserves! If you think Sophie will be a great addition to your family, please reach out to us by following one of the options below. 1. If you have already completed the adoption or foster application process and are an approved adopter with UMGDR, please contact Sophie’s Placement Coordinator at callie@thegreatdanerescue.com to learn more about her. 2. If you are not yet an approved adopter through UMGDR, you must complete our application process before you can be considered to adopt a dog through our rescue. Please visit https://www.thegreatdanerescue.com/adoption-application to complete an application and submit your $25 application fee to begin the process. After you have been approved, please reach out to Sophie’s Placement Coordinator by emailing callie@thegreatdanerescue.com. This sweet Dane is located in Indianola, IA ##2190869##

WAITLISTED - STILL ACCEPTING INTEREST Introducing Hazel Honeybadger! Playful Cuddly Adventurous Curious Hi, I’m Hazel Honeybadger! A playful, affectionate Great Dane with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Whether I’m tossing around my squeaky toys, zooming through the yard, or snuggling up with my favorite humans, I’m always bringing joy and excitement wherever I go! I’m a friendly and social girl who loves hanging out with people—especially men! I enjoy the company of women, too, but I have a special soft spot for the guys. I may get a little too excited and jump up on people, so my forever home should be mindful of that. I haven’t spent much time around kids, but I prefer calm, dog-savvy ones—children 12+ would be best for me. When it comes to other dogs, I love to play! I do best with male dogs and can be a bit selective with female dogs. If there’s another dog in my forever home, a playful, large-breed male would be ideal. I’ve also done well with dog-savvy cats, but if a cat is nervous or runs from me, I may chase or bark at them. What I Love Toys with squeakers—I love to entertain myself! Chew bones—Perfect for passing the time. Snuggling—I have a sweet and cuddly side! Walks & outdoor adventures—Especially playing in streams or pools! Car rides—I’m the best co-pilot! What I Don’t Love Dogs who growl at me—I prefer friendly playmates! Loud voice corrections—I have sensitive feelings. Squirrels—I’ll chase them every time! I’m a smart girl who knows lots of commands: sit, paw, hug, down, stay, leave it, give/drop, back up, and off. I’m also great with nail trims, ear cleanings, and even eye drops! My vet says I’m a model patient. I’m housebroken and both crate-trained and trustworthy with free roam. While I love being with my people, I can handle being alone for 8+ hours if needed. I do get excited on walks and pull at first, so my forever family should continue helping me with leash manners and reinforcing boundaries. I’m in great health! My third eyelid is slightly visible, but my vet and an ophthalmologist confirmed there are no concerns. I don’t let it slow me down one bit! Forever Home Wishlist Fenced yard required if in town (Invisible fence is fine in a rural setting). No children under 12 due to my excitement and zoomies! No apartments—I do bark sometimes when left alone. No resident female dogs unless completely submissive and experienced owners can manage the dynamic. Ideal home would include a playful male large-breed dog or an adopter willing to engage in play with me! Fun Fact: I love wearing clothes, jackets, and winter boots—fashionable and practical! I can catch toys in my mouth, enjoy running with ATVs and golf carts, and even stood calmly during a fireworks show. Nothing fazes me! I’m looking for an active, playful home where I can continue to shine. If you’re looking for a fun-loving and affectionate Great Dane to add to your family, I might be the perfect match! If you think Hazel Honeybadger will be a great addition to your family, please reach out to us by following one of the options below. 1. If you have already completed the adoption or foster application process and are an approved adopter with UMGDR, please contact Hazel Honeybadger’s Placement Coordinator at courtney@thegreatdanerescue.com to learn more about her. 2.
