Hugo Status: Available

Hugo is an energetic 7-year-old harlequin male Dane mix with natural ears. He has beautiful coloring and unique multicolored blue-brown eyes. His previous owner surrendered him due to a divorce and move. His foster mom says, “Hugo is a fast learner and learned how to use the dog doors in only two sessions! He is a huge lover and will definitely be wherever you are. He loves his toys and loves to play fetch with his ball. Hugo is full of energy and needs to be played with and exercised on a daily basis. He loves going for walks and is friendly with dogs on and off leash.” Hugo is a very affectionate boy with excellent behavior and wonderful manners. He gets along famously with small dogs, cats and children of all ages (he does not particularly like the company of large dogs). Hugo is fully house trained, does well on a leash and knows all of his basic commands. His foster mom adds that Hugo is the only Dane she’s ever fostered who likes to play fetch. “Hugo is a very loving, relaxed dog. He will smile, and wag his stub when he sees you.” Hugo will make a loyal companion in a home that is as active and loving as he is!

Silas Status: Available

Silas is a playful 1.5-year-old merle male Catahoula/Dane mix with natural ears. He was surrendered to Rescue when his previous owners could no longer care for him. His foster mom says, “Silas is such a happy-go-lucky guy. He is so sweet and loving, it’s hard not to absolutely adore him! Silas does not have a mean bone in his body.” Silas is house and crate trained. He is excellent with children (he lives with a five-year-old), knows his basic commands, and is good with dogs and cats. He loves to go for walks and does very well with a gentle leader. He absolutely loves to play and his favorite activity is catch. Because he has separation anxiety, Silas will do best in a home with another dog for him to play with. Silas currently lives with a seven-month-old puppy and is very tolerant and kind with him. Silas is also a good watch dog and will let you know when someone comes up to the house. He will bark at strangers but is very friendly towards them when he meets them. His foster mom adds, “Silas is an awesome dog and will make some lucky family very happy. You could not ask for a kinder dog.”

Tyson Status: Available

Tyson is a mellow 6.5-year-old Blue male Dane with cropped ears. He was surrendered to Rescue by his previous owners because they could no longer afford to care for him. (He has been limping and the Rescue is investigating a knee issue.) His foster mom says, “Tyson is a gentleman. He is very distinguished and loves to talk! He is happiest while snuggling and really enjoys taking a seat next to you on the couch. He has a very cool, laid back personality and loves to play with his foster sister.” Tyson is completely house trained and trustworthy with free roam. He is a great listener and knows his basic commands. Tyson is pretty set in his ways, so he will do best with a family that wants a big guy – but not a lot of work! Tyson adores attention and loves to curl up next to you on the couch, but would usually prefer to sit in your lap. He really enjoys hugs and loves to rest his head on your shoulder while riding in the car. Tyson gets along famously with his foster sister and the cat in the house. He also enjoys going outside and lying in the grass to watch the neighborhood children play. He is generally quiet and laid back, but is always up for a game of tug-o-war. He would love a home that would take him on a walk around the neighborhood every day. His foster mom adds, “I love how playful this guy can be! Tyson is just a big lover that wants your attention all of the time. He is happy with a pat on the head but ecstatic with a big hug and a cuddle!”

Jake is an energetic 10-month-old male Dane/Lab mix with natural ears. He was originally adopted from Rescue in July 2009 and was recently returned because his previous owners did not have time to give him the attention he needs. His foster mom says, “Jake is 100-percent puppy and loves the company of other dogs. He is full of energy and needs to be played with and exercised on a daily basis. He loves going on runs, for rides in the truck and playing with other dogs. Jake continues to make friends where ever he goes. He has attended two events and loved every moment of each of them. He has never met a stranger.” Jake is crate trained and knows his basic commands. His foster family is working on getting him up to speed on his house training, and he is proving to be a very quick learner. Jake walks very well on a gentle leader and is an incredibly social puppy. His foster mom adds, “Jake is friendly with all dogs he has been introduced to and even keeps trying to be friendly with dogs who don’t want to be his friend! He loves kids (he came to us from a household with children). Jake has brought out the ‘youngster’ in all my pets, even my six-year-old Dane!” Jake will make a loyal addition to a family with lots of love to give – and the energy to keep up!

He adores children, does well with cats and warms up quickly with other dogs after slow introductions. His foster mom adds, “Brewer listens. He will come when he is called and he will do almost anything you ask him to do, as long as there is a treat at the end of the road. He is definitely a character and full of love and joy!” Brewer will make a loyal and loving addition to one lucky family looking for a low maintenance Dane with character to spare!

Sherbert Status: Pending Adoption

Sherbert is a sweet 4- or 5-year-old female black Dane with natural ears. She came to Rescue after being found as a stray and picked up from a shelter in Pueblo, Colo. Her foster mom says, “You can tell Sherbert has been through a lot, but in the time we have had her, she has really started opening up. She will give kisses and lay next to me and loves to be petted. She is not used to the attention, but you can tell with more time and patience she will be a really good, loving dog.” Sherbert is crate and house trained. She gets along famously children of all ages, dogs, big and small, and currently lives in harmony with two cats. Sherbert is a bit timid and gets frightened easily, so it’s best move slowly around her and be patient. She needs some work on her basic commands, but is highly treat motivated and proving to a very quick learner. She does well on a leash and loves to romp in the yard. Sherbert will make a loyal addition to one lucky family with the patience and energy to continue her training and spoil her with all the love she so deserves.

Dana is a beautiful 4-year-old brindle female Dane with natural ears. She came to Rescue when her owner died and his mother could no longer care for her. Her foster mom says, “Dana is a very curious Dane and has to do the ‘Dana sniff test’ on everything. She loves to go for walks and is good on a short leash with gentle correction. It didn't take long for her to settle into our home.” Dana is a very well-mannered girl. She is house and crate trained, and exhibits all of the typical Dane qualities – leaning, loving and enjoying her sleep! She is excellent with dogs and cats, and is very gentle with children (she currently lives with two). Dana thrives in the family environment and enjoys being part of everything a family does. She also loves to play and go for car rides so her lips can blow in the wind! Her foster mom adds, “Dana is a very special and beautiful Dane with tons of personality and lots of love to give. She is so very sweet and gentle. Her eyes are soulful and suck you right in. I love that she is active and aware and likes to be outside, but will curl up on the couch and be mellow too – it’s the perfect combination in a dog. She is easygoing and adaptable.

Abby Status: Available

 

Abby is a mellow 5-year-old female harlequin Dane with natural ears. She came to Rescue after being returned to the Humane Society because she was not getting along with the smaller dogs in her new home. In her foster home, Abby gets along well with dogs, although slow introductions are best and she does prefer the company of larger dogs. She also does well with cats and children. Abby is very much a ‘Velcro Dane.’ When she’s not lazing on the couch she likes to chase squirrels; given her very mellow nature, the squirrels always win! Her foster mom says, “I love that Abby really listens, and she will look you in the eye when you talk to her. It’s like she is taking all of it in and trying to understand what you are saying. If you talk to her, she will talk right back – showing a little attitude!” Abby will make an excellent addition to a family looking for a laid-back and loving Dane!

Harley Status: Pending adoption

Harley is a muscular 6-year-old male merlequin Dane with natural ears and striking blue eyes. He came to Rescue after being kept outdoors by owners in Arizona who had no time to care for him. Because Harley lived outside his whole life, he did not learn any boundaries or expectations, so his foster family is teaching him what indoor living and love are all about. Harley is now fully house trained, but he is still stubborn! He is calm and quiet, and he ambles around the house investigating when he’s not sleeping in his kennel, which he considers a fine place for naps. RMGRI was told that Harley was attacked by a littermate when he was a puppy, and has some initial wariness to strange dogs as a result, but he has settled in with his three foster Dane brothers and sister quite well and shows no aggression toward adults or children. He looks to his humans to let him know what is expected and appreciates knowing that. It is suggested that Harley not go into a home with small dogs, however. Harley understands firm commands, rewarded with both praise and treats. He needs a home that will continue working with him and not let him get away with being a large lump on the floor if he doesn’t want to do something! His foster mom says, “I’m amazed that despite years of living outside with little human interaction, Harley is so well socialized and so sweet and calm. He is the perfect dog for someone who just wants a home companion.”

Hera Status: Available

Hera is a sweet 4-year-old female mantle Dane with cropped ears. She was surrendered to Rescue by previous owners that divorced and could no longer afford to care for her. Hera is very gentle and gets along well with dogs, cats and children (she lives with multiple dogs and a cat in her foster home and has regular contact with her foster mom’s 2-year-old grandchild – whom she has already discovered is an excellent source of fallen food!). Hera needs some special attention right now (and maybe forever) for her allergy issues. She must war doggles (yes, doggie goggles) and booties on her feet when she goes outside. She is currently taking benedryl twice a day and having her ears washed daily. She also requires a low-fat high quality food. Hera knows her basic commands and is a typical ‘Velcro Dane’ who follows her humans from room to room. She is completely trustworthy with free roam and rides very well in the car. Despite her "special needs", Hera will make a loyal and loving addition to one lucky family looking for a low-maintenance Dane to add to their home.

Deedlit Status: Available

Deedlit is a charismatic 6-year-old female Dane with cropped ears. She was surrendered to Rescue after jumping out a window due to her intense fear of thunder. Her foster mom says, “Deedlit is instant love! She’s a gentle and warm Dane. She’s slender with cropped ears and a soft nose that nudges you to tell you what she wants.” Deedlit knows all of her basic commands and is fully house trained. This social girl is curious off leash and, although she’s not very big on playing with other dogs, she likes to greet the other dogs she meets. Deedlit should not be around cats as she likes to chase them. Deedlit requires special attention during thunderstorms as she is terrified of thunder and, if left alone during a thunder storm, will try to jump out the window. If she’s with you during a thunder storm, she will not leave your side and will want your arm over her when she sleeps. Deedlit loves rolling on her back in the grass and going for walks, but she doesn’t pull on the leash or bolt – except to chase those kitties! Deedlit also loves blankets and will smoosh hers around until it’s comfortable. Her foster mom adds, “My daughter fell asleep on the couch and Deedlit kept trying to steal her blanket! I love everything about Deedlit, she is truly the perfect example of a dignified, older Dane.”

Hank Status: Available

Hank is a gorgeous 4-year-old male fawn Dane with cropped ears. He is a beautiful color with dark gold and soft cream shading in some areas. We don’t know a lot about his past, but he spent most of his young life in a kennel and suffered from extremely poor nutrition. Hank is house and crate trained, and is working on honing his basic commands. His foster mom says, “Hank is a sweetheart that is very lovely and has to be around you at all times. He's calm and doesn't know how to play yet, but he is starting to become interested in stuffed animals. Hank is adorable.” Hank is just beginning to understand what being a dog is all about – and he has discovered the joy of wagging his tail! Hank likes being inside and doesn't seem to want to exercise much. Hank also seems to enjoy being in the car and will lie down quietly in the back. He's a very quiet dog that rarely barks, whines or 'talks.’ Hank isn't a huge fan of other dogs or cats and would prefer to be left alone to love on his humans. Hank seems to love everyone equally and will gladly walk up to a stranger and rest his head in their hands. He's calm around strangers and new comers to your house. This sweet boy will make a loyal addition to a special family that can give him all the love, attention and support he so deserves.

She says, “Gavin likes to play with his toys and will throw then up in the air and pounce on them. Sometimes you don’t know he has anything in his mouth as it is so big – he likes to hide his toys in his mouth.” Gavin knows his basic commands and is trustworthy with free roam. He loves to go for rides in the car and hang his head out of the window for the ride. He also enjoys going for walks and is friendly to the people he meets along the way. Gavin does well with dogs, after he’s had time to get to know and accept them, but he does prefer to be the family’s sole canine. He is an absolute guard dog and will let you know when anyone is at the door or around the house. His foster mom adds, “I love how loyal Gavin is. I don’t worry about anyone coming into the house uninvited as he will let them know he is the boss. Gavin is a very loving Dane and will follow his humans everywhere.”

Francina Status: Medical Hold

Francina is a loving and sweet 2-year-old female harlequin Dane with natural ears. She came to Rescue after being found wandering as a stray south of Wichita, Kansas (we suspect she was used for breeding purposes). Francina was a little unsure the first time she was invited into the house, but has since decided that being an indoor dog is a pretty good deal! She is house trained but does not yet know her basic commands, so her foster family is working on her commands and leash manners. Her foster mom says, “For not knowing her commands, Francina has learned quickly. She watched her foster sister ‘sit’ in order to get dinner, and decided that if sitting brings food maybe she could use the technique for other things. So her new ‘thing’ is to sit in front of the person she wants to receive love from!” Francina is a very laid back Dane who doesn’t mind lazing on her dog bed or looking forward to meal time. She gets along well with dogs, cats, and people of all ages, and enjoys going for rides in the car. Her foster mom adds, “Francina is a gentle sweetheart who will win your heart before you know it! She will be a very loving companion.” She is on Medical Hold until she completes Heartworm treatment.

Astro Status: Profile out

Astro is an entertaining and charismatic 5-month-old male merlequin Dane with natural ears. He was originally rescued by his previous owner from a breeder because they had plans to euthanize him; the owner then discovered Astro was causing her asthma to act up and surrendered him to Rescue. Astro will require an especially attentive home as he is deaf and has some depth perception issues. He is afraid of the dark and will whine for guidance when it is dark. Astro is about 85-percent potty-trained – and getting closer to 100 percent every day. He is very good about letting you know he needs to go out. He loves playing with his stuffed animals, splashing in the water and eating! Astro could not be a bigger fan of mealtime. His foster mom says, “Astro is a comic! He enjoys people. He may be deaf, but he knows when someone different is petting him and just soaks up the attention like a sponge. The same is true with dogs – he loves to meet new things, and he doesn’t show fear or dominance, just happiness that it’s somebody new!” Astro enjoys playing fetch and throwing his stuffed toys around the yard and pouncing after them – but he can also be a couch potato. His foster mom adds, “Astro is definitely a riot and very entertaining to be around!”
