Story

Meet Poppy! Poppy is a 3 year old Dane that was at a local surrender as a stray. We don't have a lot of info on her previous life but we do know she has had several litters. Poppy evaluated well at the shelter but sometimes in a shelter environment you don't always get a good read on a dog because they are stressed. Now...don't take that wrong...she is an amazingly sweet sweet girl! But... she is not so great with other dogs IN the home. She can go out in public and be around other dogs with a confident owner that is good at reading her signals if she is stressed. She doesn't bark or lunge or any of that nonsense unless she is with a "soft" owner and one where she feels they are not in control or confident. But... if a dog invades her space or their energy is too much she will let them know and fire off. Poppy LOVES her people and wants to be as close as she can. She is a first class cuddler! You need to keep food off the counters because this girl came in hungry and even though she is now getting regular meals she can counter surf like a pro! Since Poppy was a little rough around the edges we sent this beauty off to training. While she was there they worked on her being able to be OK around other dogs in public and also worked on desensitizing her on storms. Sister has some storm anxiety but if she is in her XXL kennel will settle. If you are at home and a storm rolls up...just put her in place with her place command and she will lay down and you won't hear a peep! Did we say how incredibly smart this girl is?? She is food motivated and would be great with a family that would want to continue training and keep her mind stimulated! Her trainer had a 5 month old and she was great with them...even gave her sweet kisses! Poppy rides great in the car, house trained and good on leash. Poppy is up to date on all vaccines, spayed and has had her stomach tacked to prevent gastric torsion. Poppy is being fostered in Concord NC with her trainer. He will provide extra training to her new owners and work with them and her on acclimating into a new home. Poppy needs a dog savvy owner that is confident and sets boundaries for her so she doesn't feel she needs to step up to do that. Poppy will require a fenced yard and no kids under the age of 12yrs. While she has been great with kids a home with lots of new kids in and out all the time would stress her.

Story

UPDATE***** Gus is a sweet and spunky just under year old boy who has been in the rescue since February. He has blossomed from a scared and insecure puppy with no boundaries and has made huge progress. He is a rough and tumble player and would love a home with another dog who loves to play, but would do equally well as an only dog in an active home. He loves going on adventures and is his foster dad’s Lowe’s buddy. When he’s done playing and trying to be a little mischievous, he loves to be sweet and cuddly with his foster siblings or whichever human is nearby. Gus will need a forever home dedicated to continuing training with him, and would do best without small children as he isn’t aware of his strength and size. He loves all dogs and all humans, and is a very curious boy working on becoming fully confident. Gus is a ~seven month old Dane who came in very underweight and is now living his best toddler-teen Dane life. Full of energy and mischief, he is doing his best to learn boundaries and be a polite leash walker. He is crate trained and while he does do well out and about and takes redirection well, he’s also very agile and delights in squirming into exactly the places he shouldn’t be in so continued training, awareness and ability to keep him in a safe place while you are gone (crating or otherwise) is a must. He is a roughhouser and loves wrestling with his doggie foster siblings and playing with toys. He would do well with other dogs, or as an only dog in a home able to dedicate time to expending his high puppy energy! Due to his rambunctious nature and rough and tumble large puppy energy, he would do best in a home with no children or older children/teens. He is very sweet and cuddly in between bursts of energy, and his quick learning is serving him well as he grows. He will be (and already is) a magnificent dog! **Giant breed experience required and a fenced yard.

Story

Hank is a sweetheart of a puppy that loves to play and snuggle. He is approximately 4 months old, and has the best little happy personality. He is curious about everything. So far loud noises are the only thing we have found that he is scared of (lawnmower, train, fireworks) and zoomies from other dogs confuse him. He sits and stares with his little head cocked sideways until they finish and then he is ready to jump in and play. His favorite toys so far are ropes and shoes but we are working to curb the shoe fetish. Bones and the ears of his foster brother are also fair game for chewing. Hank will pick up sticks during his daily walks and happily carry them for a while until something else catches his eye. His is comfortable in a harness and leash when walking, but needs continued work on his manners. Hank is still underweight and we are feeding frequently to try and beef him up. He is currently around 40 pounds. He loves food and treats, and responds well to treat training so far. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes and is excited to meet them all. He also loves all the people he meets. We have taken him on pack walks in the neighborhood and on a few public outings and he has done well. He has been comfortable at the vet’s office so far and all the techs and vets have adored him. Hank is comfortable in his crate. He eats and rests in it, and sleeps in it at night. He is sleeping up to six hours at night before needing a bathroom break. Housebreaking is coming along. We let him out frequently and he knows to use the bathroom outside. However if he has to go and we don’t catch it he will still go in the house. Hank is being fostered in Pilot Mountain NC. A fenced yard and giant breed experience is required.

Story

Valentino - what a lover boy. Val is a beautiful 3 year old fawn male who adores all people and dogs. Always up for a walk, run or any type of game. He is ok with cats but with his boundless energy he would love a cat that likes to play chase and most cats don’t appreciate that. He is being fostered in VA with horses, Great Danes, multiple cats, house tortoises and quite a few chickens and Guinea hens. He really loves having space to run and play. He even throws his toys for himself! What a great guy for a family that wants a very interactive boy. He’s fully house trained and walks well on a leash. He loves car rides too. Val also lived with kids in his previous home. Val would do best in a home where his people are not gone for extended periods of time and with a canine companion. He came to us from a situation where his owner went to jail and he had been alone so when he arrived he was a little anxious. But after only a few weeks in his foster home with lots of friends and his foster parents not gone too much he is amazing and has gained a lot of confidence! Valentino is being fostered in Montpelier VA.

Story

Thor is a sweet three-year-old boy loves people and wants to be as close to you as he can. He enjoys daily walks and walks well on a leash most of the time. He rarely pulls but when he does, he is easily corrected. It is usually when he sees a squirrel. One of his favorite things to do is sit in front of a window and look out at the world around him. And he loves car rides, too. He acts nervous around other dogs at first, but he warms up quickly. His foster brother can play pretty rough, which Thor puts up with patiently and then just lets him know when he has had enough. Thor plays well with other dogs and enjoys running around the backyard. He would love to have a doggie brother or sister in his new home. Thor loves that his foster mom works from home. He will do best in a home where his owners are not gone for long periods of time. And no crates, please. He does not like them and will not go in them. He needs to be in a home that will not crate him. He sleeps through the night on his dog bed next to his foster mom’s bed. He doesn’t try to get up on the bed unless his foster mom calls him up. Kids? Thor loves them! Especially kids who give him lots of pets and love. Thor is very trustworthy in the house and is houses trained. He knows basic commands like sit and lay down and we are working on stay. He wants to be right by your side so stay is a little hard for him right now. He gets very excited when people enter the home but he calms down very quickly. Thor was an owner surrender who was taken in by a concerned family who nursed him back to health. He is about good as dogs come and just wants to show you how much he loves you. Thor is neutered and up to date on all vaccines. He is being fostered in Charlotte NC.

Story

Lilly Jade is a purebred Great Dane, who has the rare lilac coloring. She is a beautiful girl that is full of energy. At 1 year old, she is already at over 100 pounds. She's spayed and up to date on shots/vaccines. Lilly Jade has learned some commands, is crate trained, and been in a basic training course when she was very young. However, it would be best that she receives more training in her new home. She's currently living with cats and as well as a senior Great Dane. Ideally, it would be best for her to be with another dog around her age or be able to hike/run with her new owner. She'll need plenty of exercise.
