Adopting a Great Dane is a big decision. You are taking into your home a dog that is intelligent, Loyal, Fun Loving,
Full of Love, and yes, very large. However, owning a Great Dane will bring you so much enjoyment, fun and
fulfillment. They have this wonderful way of burrowing right into your heart.

We at Rocky Mountain Great Dane Rescue, Inc. are committed to matching our Danes with good, responsible and
loving new owners. We strive to make the best match we can. Our number one concern is for our Danes. Below
briefly describes the adoption process.

The process starts with you making the decision to adopt a Great Dane. We encourage each adopter to gain as much information on owning a Great Dane as possible.

If you visit our Great Dane Information page, we have links that will give you some good information.

The next step is to download or request an Adoption Application. Once you have filled out and returned the application, one of our volunteers will contact you.

We try and get to know each prospective adopter to determine what the best type of personality in Dane would be a good match.

We will then perform a reference check. We do this to ensure and verify all the information received is correct and accurate.

Below are the major requirements for adopting a Great Dane:

  1. The prospective adopter(s) must have never been convicted of any animal abuse laws.
  2. There must be sufficient area for proper exercise.
  3. The Dane must be able to be kept indoors, especially during the winter.
  4. In the event the new owners decide not to keep the Dane, they must agree, prior to formal adoption, to return the Dane to the Rocky Mountain Great Dane Rescue, Inc.
  5. All dogs will be spayed/neutered prior to being placed, unless medical reasons prevent it in which case, the new owner will contractually agree to have it done when it is safe.
  6. All adopting individuals will have to completely fill out and have signed the Adoption Application which must be verified and approved.
  7. All adopting individuals who live in an apartment / condo / townhouse must be able to show how the Dane will be exercised.
  8. All adopting individuals who live in rental property will have to have a signed approval document from their landlord. Please send this with your application to avoid delays in processing.
  9. All adopting individuals must have a home check in order to verify their application and conditions of the potential "forever home".
  10. All adopting individuals must be at least 21 years old.
  11. We are sorry, we cannot adopt to homes with children 5 years old and younger.
  12. All adopting individuals, who live in a single family home, must have a fenced yard with a fence in good repair. Some Danes require a 6 ft fence
