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 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 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

the energy to keep up! |

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

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. Dana is a
really excellent companion.” |

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

| 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 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

| Deedlit |
Status:

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 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. |

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

anyone or bump into anything. Maggie is a shadow dog but never pushy
when following her humans around. Her foster mom adds, “She
has the biggest heart of any dog I have ever met! We love Maggie’s
disposition. She is so calm, loving, caring and protective of my
family after just a few days. She is playful and spunky and cute,
yet she is also sweet and very well behaved. Maggie has such a motherly
instinct and is always been a loving and caring dog to us. She is
going to be an amazing part some very lucky family!” |

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!”
