Story
Meet Sky, who comes to us from a local shelter. She was owner surrendered to the shelter with her brother, Tiny (already adopted), because he said he could no longer take care of them. She and Tiny both lived their life in a 48" crate. Sky is a 3-year-old, 101 lb., Great Dane. She is housebroken, crate trained, and good with other dogs and cats, but due to being starved she does show food aggression with other dogs and would either need to be taught not to resource guard or be adopted to a family as an only dog. She is up to date on her vaccines and is spayed. Sky is very smart, sweet and affectionate, loves to nuzzle right into you, is great on a leash and in the car, and is very gentle and quiet. She is currently living in boarding and is also in need of a foster home. If you are interested in meeting Sky, please reach out to us for an adoption or foster application.

Story
Quick Facts: Estimated Birthday: 1/24/2023 Breed: Great Dane Mix Size: roughly 105 pounds House Trained: Yes -=============================== Looking for a giant love bug to join your family? Athena Darla plays hard but cuddles harder. Athena came to the rescue after an amazing bystander overheard her owners planning to dump her at a dog park! This hero bystander jumped in and contacted us about taking in the dog. She’s an almost 2 yr old Great Dane. She must have slow introductions and doesn’t like overly excited dogs. Her foster says on some occasions she can be possessive, but loves to cuddle and play with her foster sibling. Athena is patient with the smallest dog in the house. She LOVES to be brushed and would sell her soul for butt scratches. Her perfect family would have a 6ft fence due to her size and love of running. She’s leash trained but hates getting her leash put on and will hide in her crate to avoid it. She’s not a fan of going in the car and leaving the house, but walks fine once you get her out the door. Athena is house and crate trained. She loves you once she gets to know you. While Athena loves attention, she doesn’t like when people approach quickly and would do best in a home with no kids or cats. Athena Darla does best crated while unattended for her safety. She can be a bit nosey and gets into things. She will need a heavy-duty crate in her forever home. Before emailing- please read: - Yes, this dog is available for adoption - The adoption fee for Athena Darla is $465 - Apply at c2cnd.org - The adoption fee covers their age appropriate shots, microchip, deworming, spay/neuter, and any other medical expenses while in our care. - Local adopters only. Due to our thorough adoption process including home visits, we limit our adoptions to local families in the greater Charlotte area. - If you have any additional questions, email us at dogs@c2cnd.org and we will respond as soon as possible!

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. If interested in Poppy send us an email at  greatdanefriends.com*****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions. We require a fenced yard (exceptions made on a case by case basis - NO exceptions for puppies or deaf/vision impaired dogs - no invisible fencing), that stairs in the home be covered with some sort of slip resistant material to prevent injury, that all other animals in the home be up to date on vaccinations as well as spayed/neutered and that all dogs live inside as a part of the family. Our approval process consists of an application, vet and reference checks, phone interview and house check. Please email us for an application or if you have any questions.*****   October 21, 2024, 5:20 pm

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. If interested in Thor you can email us at info@greatdanefriends.com for an application *****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions.
