Great Dane puppies and dogs in Waconia, Minnesota

Hi! I'm Rivera. I'm from Texas. From his foster: Rivera is fun loving young guy who has the goofy/loving characteristics of a Great Dane and the energy of an Aussie. Rivera absolutely loves to play and would do great in a home with another dog who loves to run around or a single guy with an active family. Important note that even though Rivera is active 11month old and as hard as he plays, he loves just as hard and throughly enjoys cuddle time. Rivera LOVES kids but has no idea how big he is. He has also shown to have a little extra interest in cats so a home with either no cats or one who is dog savvy would be best.

Hi- I’m Bailey, and I am a BIG beautiful baby!  I have the sweetest eyes, beautiful soft ears, and extra long legs.  Here are some things you should know about me: Breed mix – Best guess is Great Dane, Hound, Pointer and/or possibly Great Pyrenees- a big mix! Age – about 6 months – date of birth 5/9/24 Weight – last official weight was 45 lbs at the beginning of October.  I am a skinny, lanky girl right now, but once I fill out, I am going to be a large to extra-large sized dog when full-grown. Activity level – medium –  I do have bursts of goofy, clumsy energy that make my foster family laugh.  I love to wrestle with the other dogs in my home, but I also like to snuggle with my humans, or lounge around on a comfy bed or couch. Things I like to do- I am a pretty chill girl during the day and hang out on my bed while my mom works.  I am submissive with other dogs, but once I am comfortable I love to play with them.  I like to sniff around in the back yard, and I like chewing on bones and sticks.  I love food, and my food motivation will make it fun to work on training with me. Kennel-  I sleep quietly in the kennel all night (although I am an early riser)  and I am kenneled periodically during the day. Sometimes I go into the kennel on my own to relax.  I do bark at strangers in the home if I am kenneled while they are there – but I quiet down quickly Potty Training-  I am almost completely housebroken – you just need to pay attention to how much water I have been drinking Things I am working on-  My foster mom is showing me that the world is not a scary place, and that we can have fun adventures together.  I was very nervous when I first got here, and new situations are still scary for me. My foster family takes me to a dog-friendly brewery, and I love meeting all the new people and dogs there.  Now that I am used to the humans in my home, I love to be near them, and like to get pets and belly rubs from them.  I am also learning that food on the counter does not belong to me -since I am very tall and have a hound’s nose, my adoptive family will need to make sure food is kept out of reach.  I have made great progress in learning to sit nicely for pets and treats instead of asking for them by jumping. Dogs-  I am being fostered with two adult dogs, and I follow them everywhere and love to play with them.  I would love another dog in my forever home, but it is not essential Kids -  Although I am very gentle and sweet, I am still working on not jumping on people.  Because of my size, it is best that I go to family with older children Cats-  unknown Walking-  My leash manners need some work, but I have learned that walking on a leash is not scary, and I love my walks now.  I rarely go potty on a leash, so it’s best that my forever family has a fenced yard, or has the patience to work with me on this Other things you should know about me- Like most extra-large dogs, I am a messy drinker, and can be a heavy drooler, especially when I’m nervous or if someone has food they are not sharing with me. I am spayed, up to date on vaccinations and preventive care, and ready to find a forever family If you would like to meet Bailey, please visit spotslaststop.org and fill out an application.

Meet Bugs- The sweetest gentle giant!  Bugs is social, friendly, happy, playful, smart and affectionate.  Bugs loves meeting people, loves playing with people and really loves all the pets and belly rubs!  He does well playing with other dogs.   He enjoys running around the fenced yard, explore and smelling all the smells!  A game of fetch is a favorite of Bugs!  He also enjoys a good chew toy and snuggles.  Bugs is very food motivated and will learn quickly with yummy treats!  Bugs is a fun, loving and sweet big pup and he is excited to meet his new family!  Is that you? If you would like to meet Bugs, please visit spotslaststop.org and fill out an application.

Welcome Jinx to CCPAL Rescue. Jinx is a 2 year old Great Dan mix. He is tall and lanky like the great Dane and has the shy quality. He is a good weight and he is good with other dogs. He has lived with a large female and male in his home. He does know sit and is good on leash. We assume he is potty trained as he had an older man owner. His owner is in hospice care and is not doing well. A good Samaritan stepped up and helped them. She asked CCPAL to take them in and help them find a new forever home. He settles down nice and likes to lean in to his person. He would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. We would love someone familiar with the Dane personality or someone who has had a large breed dog before. He would be a great man dog. He takes direction well and bonds deeply very quickly. He naturally likes men as he lived his life with one. He would be content being the only dog or being with another dog. He is not the dominant one of the 3 pack. He is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is 400 and transport is 200. 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.

I’m an 8-year-old, 100-pound Great Dane, and yes, I’m as majestic as my name suggests! Even though I’m a senior, I still have plenty of love to give and energy for walks and a good run in open spaces. I came to Underdog with Heartworm but I’m doing great now. I’ve completed my heartworm treatment, so I’ll need heartworm preventatives year-round for the rest of my life. Cuddling is one of my absolute favorite things—I’m all about snuggling up and burying my head in my human’s arms. I also enjoy looking out the window, going for walks, and stretching my legs when I get the chance. I haven’t quite figured out toys yet, and sometimes other dogs—especially the high-energy ones—make me nervous, but I’m working on it. I'd prefer other laid back, easy going pups like me! When it comes to kids, I’m great! I’m also fully potty trained, and while I pull a bit on the leash, I’m learning to walk more politely. A fenced yard isn’t a must for me since I do well on a leash for potty breaks and exercise. I know commands like “come,” “go potty,” and “outside,” so I’m pretty easy going in that department. I don’t bark much, only if something alarms me, but overall, I’m a calm and laid-back guy. I’m still figuring out which dog friends I like best, so I’m a bit picky about my pals. But once I feel comfortable, I’m just wonderful to have around. If you’re looking for a big, gentle, and loving companion who’s ready to share all the cuddles, I might be the perfect fit for you! *Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.    ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com> ADOPTION EVENTS:      Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend.  Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/adoptionprocess/   Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN.  All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience.  If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website  www.underdogrescuemn.com/foster-applications  and fill out a foster application. NUTRITION: Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets.  All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet.  All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal.
