Boz
Boz is a one-year old
male Merle Dane puppy with lots of love to give. He came to RMGDRI
from a puppy mill in Missouri with health problems and extremely
neglected. RMGDRI has nursed this precious boy back to health and
while he still is slow to warm up to people, he is very loving and
a loyal companion once he is comfortable. He is gaining confidence
every day! Boz has a submissive personality and gets along well
with the four other dogs in his foster home. He does look to the
other dogs for guidance and will benefit from regular doggie interaction
if adopted into a single-dog home. He is good with cats and kids
and is just an all-around sweetheart. He shows no food aggression
and is learning to take treats gently. He is crate trained and house
trained. He loves tug-of-war and is learning to play with other
toys as well. Boz was born with crooked legs and RMGDRI’s
veterinarian has performed three corrective surgeries. His legs
will never be perfectly straight but he doesn’t realize he
is different than the other dogs. It definitely does not stop him
from having the zoomies with the best of them. Boz also enjoys car
rides and going to the dog park. This sweet boy has blossomed into
a truly loving and devoted companion with lots of love to give a
family willing to accept him for who he is! Boz came to RMGDRI in
July of 2007.

Zane
Zane is an energetic
2 year old male black Great Dane mix with natural ears. His picture
says it all...”Come play with me!” Zane is an energetic,
playful guy who has matured tremendously while in Rescue. He came
to us as a stray from Kansas with no manners and no training. His
foster family has done a tremendous job teaching him manners, basic
commands, house training and crate training. Zane is very treat
motivated which will be beneficial for his continued training. He
loves to play with other dogs his own size and is learning to be
gentle with the smaller ones. He does have a dominant personality
and will do better in a forever home with submissive dogs. Zane
is a true lover and his stubby tail wags 90 mph in excitement. Zane
has been given free roam for short periods of time and has done
well with no destructive behavior. Zane is a true character and
a very vocal boy. He will talk to you in the morning as well as
greet you with a "rumble" every time you come home. Zane
will thrive in a home full of activity where he can be exercised
regularly. He would also benefit from having a playmate his size
to rough house with. He is still very much a puppy and just wants
to be loved! |

Marilyn
Marilyn is a sweet 8 year old, chocolate merle, female Dane with
natural ears. Marilyn can be described in one word – “amazing”.
She will make a perfect addition to any family. Marilyn came to
RMGDRI extremely overweight at 147 lbs but through the diligent
efforts of her foster family she is now a svelte 113 lbs. Since
her weight loss, she is now an energetic girl who does not act her
age. She gets along well with other dogs and cats and absolutely
loves her foster kitty. She snuggles on the couch with him when
the cat allows. She is a very smart girl and knows which cupboard
holds her food which she has learned to open. As a result, her foster
family has locked the cabinet with a baby lock. Marilyn is a definite
couch potato and bed hog. While she is not allowed on the bed, she
will quietly sneak onto the bed in the middle of the night. She
is fully house trained and knows all her basic commands. She also
does well with free roam while her foster family is away. Marilyn
can be walked easily with or without her gentle leader. Marilyn
is a sweet lady with a lot of life and love to give to her new forever
family.

will be working on teaching her about indoor living, basic training,
and boosting her confidence. She is good with dogs and cats and

Jazzi
Jazzi is a spunky 6 year
old, brindle female Great Dane with natural ears. Jazzi is a true
people pleaser and enjoys her humans. She loves to bury her head
in your lap for head rubs and cuddling is her favorite pastime.
Jazzi’s personality does not do well with other female dogs
or small dogs but she is thriving in her foster home with another
male dog. She is somewhat nervous around small children, so we recommend
a home with kids over 10 years of age. Despite her age, Jazzi is
very energetic and loves to run at the dog park. Her favorite toy
is her ball which she carries everywhere and she even sleeps with
it. Jazzi is very well behaved and is eager to please her humans.
She is house trained, walks nicely on a leash and knows her basic
commands and then some. While she is crate trained, it is not necessary
as she is trustworthy with free roam. She is a wonderful ambassador
for the Great Dane breed and will make a loyal companion. |

Zumba
Zumba is a 2 year old, fawn, female Great Dane with natural ears
and a merle mask. Zumba is a wonderful people dog; following her
humans everywhere and just wanting to be loved. She will boldly
approach just about anyone and is quite submissive with people both
adults and children. She loves face rubs and rolls over for belly
rubs. Zumba is crate trained and completely house trained. She enjoys
being in her crate when left alone as it is her “safe place”.
Zumba’s dilemma is dealing with other dogs. Because of her
fear and insecurity around dogs, Zumba reacts negatively both on-
and off-leash. It will be critical that her forever family understand
her nature and be willing to continually work with her. She will
also need to be the only dog in the family. While this problem does
require a special family, we hope it will not overshadow her incredible
sweet and loving nature. She is currently thriving in her foster
family where she is the only dog. She wags her tail constantly and
gives gentle kisses. In the right circumstance, she will be a loyal
companion.

Alicia
Alicia is a precious
5-month old female Brindle Dane with natural ears. She was abandoned
by her previous owners and turned into a shelter where RMGDRI rescued
her. Due to Alicia’s unstable living conditions, she is timid
around new people and dogs, however, her foster family reports she
is making great strides in this area. She does best with slow introductions
to both people and other dogs. Once she is comfortable, she is an
absolute love bug and thoroughly enjoys wrestling with the other
dogs in her foster family. She has even made several trips to doggie
daycare and has really come out of her shell. She does have a tendency
to play too rough with smaller dogs and needs to be supervised until
she learns to be gentler. Alicia responds very well to correction
with a simple “uh huh” or “no”. She knows
to listen to people for direction and guidance. Alicia is crate
trained and is actually more comfortable sleeping in her crate full
of blankets and towels than given free reign of the dog room. She
starts the evening on the couch and then has a potty break before
going to her crate for the evening. While she has had a few accidents
in her crate, she has now learned to bark in order to go outside
thus eliminating these accidents. Alicia does not show any signs
of food aggression and sits patiently until her food is given to
her. She eats best by herself so as not to be distracted from the
goings-on in the house. Alicia is a “dog-toy” dog oftentimes
tossing them in the air and collecting them on her dog bed for a
chew session later. She walks well on a leash and enjoys walks.
She is getting better at off-leash excursions and responds well
to her name. Alicia travels well in the car. |

gentle with kids and we will be testing him with cats. JD is house
trained, crate trained, walks nicely on a leash, and knows some

is currently skin and bones and was only fed 1 can of fruit per
day in his previous home. He is very sweet and loving and eager

Braun
Braun is a handsome 5-year
old mantle male Dane with cropped ears. Braun came to RMGDRI after
being dumped at the Humane Society of Utah. He was horribly neglected
with open sores on his paws, infected ears, and barely able to walk.
After a visit to RMGDRI’s vet, it was determined that both
his knees suffer from arthritis and because of his constant pain,
he used his back legs very little thus deteriorating their muscles.
Despite his rough past, Braun is a true lover and craves human affection.
He can always be found sleeping close by his humans. He also enjoys
the company of his four-legged foster sisters and co-exists peacefully
with cats. Braun is completely housetrained and knows his basic
commands. He enjoys going for car rides and refuses to be left behind
on afternoon walks. His most unique traits are his ability to use
the bathroom sink as his water bowl and his quirky special bark
which resembles a baying sound more than a bark. Through his foster
family’s diligent efforts, Braun’s pain is now being
managed and as a result, he is building muscle through regular exercise
and is becoming a brand new dog. He takes a daily regimen of medication
for pain, allergies, and joint relief that will be required through
the rest of his years. Braun is a deserving boy that needs a family
that understands and is willing to work with his medical condition.
However, we do not consider him special needs only deserving of
some extra TLC! |

locked outside all of his life and indoor living is a whole new
concept for him. He is very friendly and outgoing and his tail wags
constantly despite the fact that the world must be quite intimidating
for him. He is great with other dogs and is a big, clumsy oaf who
has no idea how big he is and plays rough. Al is good with older
kids, but would probably be best in a home with no small children
due to his disabilities. He is a leaner and a lover and will make
a very special addition for the right family.

with balls and ropes. He enjoys playing at the dog park interacting
well with the other dogs and is very obedient responding well to
his name. Cain is the “Michael Jordan” of Great Danes
standing almost 4 feet at the top of his head and weighing in at
around 120 lbs. Because of his height, he is able to counter-surf
with ease and his long, constantly wagging tail clears a coffee
table without him even knowing. When Cain’s family is not
home with him, he does best with his own “safe place”
to which he can retreat in order to make him feel more comfortable.
Cain has a very expressive face and will let you know when he is
content with a smile. In the words of his foster mom, “I think
he is going to be a great addition to someone's family.”

working on getting her to a better weight. She has no food aggression
and eats well with the other dogs at meal time. She is patient when
receiving treats. Patches sleeps through the night. She is house

quiet “Dane voice” to let you know she needs to go out,
especially if you don’t listen right away. She is very obedient
and knows her basic commands. She does not get on the furniture
and enjoys sleeping on her dog bed. While Patches is a very large
dog both in stature and weight, she is not hard to walk but she
must understand who is in charge so she will not pull hard on her
lead. She loves going for car rides.
Patches has a mild case
of hip dysplasia and will need to be on pain medication for the
rest of her life. She doesn't have any trouble getting around but
should go to a home with minimal stairs.

Ruby
Ruby is a beautiful 6-7 year old, fawn, female Great Dane with
cropped ears. Ruby was surrendered to RMGDRI by her owners due to
financial circumstances. Part of her charm is her one floppy ear
and laid-back personality. Eating is Ruby’s favorite pastime
as evidenced by her 201 lbs. She is currently on a diet and needs
to lose around 30-40 lbs. Because of her current weight, she struggles
slightly to get up and down including getting in and out of the
car however she does have short bursts of energy to play with her
foster brother. Ruby is very social and enjoys mingling with the
many visitors (both two-legged and four-legged) at her foster family’s
home. While she can be skittish with loud noises, Ruby is settling
in more and more every day. Ruby does not know all her basic commands;
however, her mellow personality makes her easy to work with. She
is completely house-trained and will let you know when it is time
to go outside. She does well with free roam and has shown no signs
of destructive behavior. Ruby enjoys her walks but will need a gentle
leader as she is a puller. Currently, off-leash time is restricted
as she is not familiar with her surroundings and she feels the need
to escape. Overall, Ruby is a big sweetheart that will make a perfect
addition to her forever family. Ruby came to RMGDRI in April 2008. |

he does get so excited for meal time that it’s hard to wait
patiently sometimes. Sully’s foster family is working on his
attention span and basic commands. As with any puppy, he does much
better with his commands when the other dogs aren’t around
to distract him. He wants to please and is extremely treat motivated
and just loves a good rub down and hug. He is learning not to jump
and to only give “hugs” on command. Sully is house trained
and crate trained. While he will sometimes whine or bark in his
crate because he thinks he might be missing something, he will settle
in quickly. At night, sometimes he falls asleep on the dog bed and
will stay out for the night with no problems. He walks nicely on
a leash and does not need a gentle leader to keep from pulling.
He stays close to his foster family when off-leash and responds
well to his name. Sullivan travels well in the car. Sullivan came
to RMGDRI in March 2008.
Sullivan has a pending
adoption. |

Ace
Ace is a precocious 1
year old, brindle, male Dane/Bull Mastiff with natural ears and
a black mask. Ace was returned to RMGDRI by a family that was not
prepared to work with a puppy. He gets excited easily and does jump
on people. He is a big boy and his foster family is working diligently
to teach him some manners. He also needs some additional house training
but he is learning quickly. His foster family has figured out a
nightly routine with potty breaks and his accidents are becoming
fewer. Ace is an eager eater and has a cute habit of eating lying
down. He also likes to steal nibbles from the other dog’s
food when he is not looking. He does well with dogs of all sizes,
children of all ages and cats. Ace knows sit and down and his foster
family is continuing his training. He loves treats and will lay
down and roll over for one as he gets so excited. As any puppy,
Ace loves playing with toys – balls, tuggs, rope toys. He
can be a little shy at first meetings but warms up quickly and really
enjoys belly rubs and being brushed. Ace loves his humans and will
make a loyal companion.
Ace has a pending adoption.

Buddy
Buddy is an extremely
mellow 8 year old, male Harlequin Great Dane. Buddy originally came
to RMGDRI with his sister when his owner passed away. He has now
been returned to RMGDRI because his new family’s other dogs
were too rough with him. Buddy is the perfect example of why Great
Danes are called gentle giants. He does not have a mean bone in
his body and just wants to be close to his humans. He is very submissive
and loves to sniff people and then rest his head against them for
pets. He enjoys other dogs and children of all ages. Buddy has excellent
house manners and loves to sleep on the couch and in bed with you,
if you will let him. He currently has an open sore on his leg which
RMGDRI is treating with antibiotics. It should heal with no future
problems. He is completely house trained and is crate trained, however
because he is not destructive, he is left with free roam. He walks
well with a gentle leader and enjoys meeting new people everywhere
he goes. Buddy is happiest when being a couch potato with his humans.
He will make a perfect addition to any household.

commands, is house trained and does well with free roam. He does
like to counter surf and is especially happy when he finds a dish

has adjusted marvelously. She was ready to play two days after surgery.
Sugar is expected to make a full recovery and has a long life ahead
of her. Sugar is just a sweety with an extremely laid-back personality.

Miley
Miley is a very bright,
1-2 year old, black female Dane with natural ears. Miley was discovered
tied to a tree at an abandoned house in Kansas. Since being in a
loving foster home, Miley is gaining confidence every day and exhibits
typical Dane characteristics; talking back when she doesn’t
get her way, constant tail wagging, jumping in the air with excitement,
leaning on humans, and nudging you with her nose when she wants
attention. She came into Rescue very thin and her foster family
is successfully fattening her up; she has gained almost 20 lbs in
one week. Miley sleeps on her dog bed next to her foster sister
and she sleeps through the night. She is very treat motivated and
knows all her basic commands. Miley spends alone time in her crate
and while she is not eager to get in to her crate with positive
reinforcement and a treat she will enter her crate. She is somewhat
timid with loud noises and sudden movements. She will stick close
to her humans and/or other foster siblings for security; however,
she is gaining confidence every day. She is starting to initiate
playful activity with her foster siblings and is finding her place
in the pack. She is submissive toward other dogs. Miley is looking
for a forever family that will love her forever.
