Story

Introducing Maxwell! Energetic Playful Affectionate Extraordinary Appearance: Maxwell is a stunning Great Dane with an elegant white coat. His beauty goes beyond his appearance, as his unique qualities make him an exceptional companion. Activities and Play: Maxwell has an active and adventurous spirit. He enjoys playing with various toys, from balls to ropes and deer antlers. Going for walks and exploring the world are among his favorite pastimes. Maxwell's boundless curiosity and enthusiasm are truly contagious. In the backyard, Maxwell lets loose with his famous "zoomies," showcasing his joyful and playful nature. He relishes companionship and interaction with his people, cherishing every moment of love and attention. Need for Companionship: Maxwell has a strong preference for being in the company of his loved ones. He dislikes being left alone and may bark when separated from his family. A home where someone is present more often than not is ideal for his well-being. Challenges and Adaptability: Maxwell faces significant vision impairment, but his resilience shines through. While he may see only a fraction of what others do, he adapts remarkably well once he's familiar with his environment. He may perceive motion, lightness, darkness, or the presence of objects, allowing him to navigate and enjoy life. Maxwell also has a significant hearing impairment. He may hear certain high-pitched noises, but he relies on his visual senses and the reassurance of his loved ones. His world is shaped by the guidance and support of his human companions. Boundaries: Maxwell appreciates respect for his personal space. He may get nervous when objects, people, or other dogs move quickly, given his limited sight and hearing. A physical fence is required to ensure his safety and security. Ideal Home: Having a submissive, active dog in his forever home can greatly contribute to Maxwell's happiness and confidence. If his adoptive family includes children, we recommend ages 12 and older with a calm demeanor. A calm and consistent home life is essential to his success. Previous Challenges: Maxwell had been bounced from home to home for the first half of his life. He truly deserves a stable and loving forever home. A family with experience in caring for dogs with deafness and vision impairment would be a true blessing for him. Maxwell is not just a dog; he's a testament to adaptability and the joy of living life to the fullest despite challenges. If you have the heart and dedication to provide him with the love and care he needs, please reach out to us. Maxwell is ready to embark on a new journey, and he'd love to share it with you. Please complete one of the following steps to make Maxwell a part of your family. 1. If you have already completed the application process and are an approved adopter with UMGDR, please contact Maxwell’s Placement Coordinator at callie@thegreatdanerescue.com to learn more about him. 2.

Story

Introducing Meeko! Outgoing Playful Loving Alert Appearance: Meeko is a true stunner! This handsome fawn-coated Great Dane has endless affection and an outgoing personality. Sweet Nature: Meeko is not just handsome; he's also incredibly sweet. He can be unsure of new people, but totally falls in love with them when given a chance to observe them first. His warm and welcoming disposition to those he loves makes him an instant favorite. Training and Health: He's healthy, up to date on vaccines, neutered, housetrained, and kennel trained. His knowledge of basic commands, such as sit, down, come, and shake, showcases his willingness to learn and please. Areas of Work: Meeko is a vocal boy who barks at anything and everything. This is a habit he'll need some help with, but it's also a testament to his alertness. Due to his vocal nature, a home within city limits or in an apartment complex may not be the ideal fit for him. While he is sweet, Meeko can show a stubborn side. He will push boundaries if he doesn’t have a strong leader. Energy: Meeko has an abundance of energy and a thirst for adventure. He needs plenty of exercise and daily stimulation to keep him happy and healthy. Secure Yard: Meeko has made great strides in responding to recall commands. Even though he has made progress, he will still require a physical fence to ensure his safety while exploring and playing. A fence of at least 6 feet is preferred. Family Compatibility: While there are no children in his current foster home, Meeko has shown affection for kids in his previous home. If children are part of his adoptive family, they must have previous experience with big dogs, as his size and energy level may be a lot for younger or inexperienced kids. Meeko seeks out male companionship and will benefit from a positive male presence in his forever home. A strong and loving bond with a male figure will be meaningful to him. Other Dogs and Cats: Meeko enjoys the company of other dogs but requires slow, supervised introductions. It's recommended that there are no cats in the forever home until he has bonded with his new family and responds consistently to their guidance. Meeko is a bundle of love and energy ready to embrace the world with open arms. If you're an experienced Dane owner and have the time and dedication to help Meeko thrive, please reach out to us. Meeko is eager to find his forever home, where he can embark on endless adventures and share his heart with you. Please complete one of the following steps to make Meeko a part of your family. 1. If you have already completed the application process and are an approved adopter with UMGDR, please contact Meeko’s Placement Coordinator at callie@thegreatdanerescue.com to learn more about him. 2.

Gordy

Great Dane Great Pyrenees

Male, 4 yrs 7 mos

Minneapolis, MN

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hey there, I am Gordy aka Gordon (when I’m not listening) and Gordito Crunch (when my foster mama is playing with me)! I am an almost 3 year old Great Dane/Great Pyrenees mix. That just means I’m extra great of course! I have the Great Dane height and body but a Great Pyrenees head with the Pyrenees shedding. I was originally surrendered as a puppy due to having special back legs. I was adopted to a wonderful family but recently was surrendered back to rescue because I can be a strong personality. I get that from the Great Pyrenees side. I love hard and love attention from my humans but don’t enjoy people I don’t know initially. I take my job of guarding the home seriously and need my humans to communicate and prove to me that they can control and protect the house so I don’t have to worry about it. I recently spent a month with a really nice lady who taught me really fun things like walking well on leash, a strong place command, heel, come and all of the other skills I need to be a well mannered boy. I really love to play with toys and other dog friends as long as they are not dominant. I’m a total goofball but have shown resource guarding over food with other dogs. I prefer to eat my food and bones in my kennel. I really love my kennel. I sleep there at night and when my foster parents are gone. I will counter surf if left unattended. Remember how I was surrendered as a puppy due to having special legs? Well, I still have special back legs. I was born with slightly twisted femurs so I walk a bit differently and have arthritis in my back knees. I love to run and play but can be sore after playing all day long so I occasionally take gabapentin to help. I also require daily joint supplements to help my bones stay healthy. I currently take anxiety meds daily. I have been on these since I was young to help with my desire to protect the home. These meds cost about $90 for a 90 day supply so any future adopter needs to be able to continue to pay for regular medications. Foster Mama Here: Gordy is the bestest boy. We fostered him when he was a puppy as well. We do not let him greet visitors at our house and require him to stay on his bed in a “place” while visitors are here. He is also happy to stay in his kennel. He does like to meet people slowly and at a good pace. Once he knows and trusts you he will forever welcome you as a family member of his. Gordy has so much potential and loves so hard. But he will require owners who can set strict boundaries in the home and hold him accountable. His breed and genetics make him want to protect his home and people but if you a set boundaries he is such a great listener. We walk him on a prong collar and he is eCollar trained. His adopters will need to commit to continued use of these training tools and also meeting with his board and train trainer to learn about everything he knows. Gordy loves the snow and playing outside. His favorite is his doggy pool in the summer. We have 4 other dogs in our home and he plays with all of them. Gordy lived with kids in his first home. He was very protective over them so we do not recommend he go to a home with children under the age of 12. He has been thriving with a farm life and would do best outside of the city. ##954057##
