About Rufus
Hi everyone I’m making this difficult post in the hopes of finding my boy a perfect home. This is Rufus the Great Dane. He is estimated to be around 4-5 years old and 140lbs. He is house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. He is up to date on all vaccines, neutered, and gastropexied. He has no known health issues, just takes a hip/joint supplement. He is a love bug and absolutely adores people. He lives for attention, cuddling and socializing. He has chilled out a bit in his older age but still has lots of energy to go on walks and play, overall I’d say he’s a moderate-low energy dog. He loves car rides and does well traveling. He has lived with cats and dogs. Overtime he has become dog selective and requires slow introductions with new dogs. While he has gotten along with 90% of dogs he’s met there has been a few that he has been nippy/ protective towards and he does not do well meeting other dogs on leash. He is very clumsy with his feet and has accidentally injured small pups so he is best suited for a home possibly with a large dog or as an only pet. Unfortunately, I am working 60hr weeks and will be entering professional school so I’m away from home a lot. Rufus thrives with human interaction and I can tell his anxiety has increased drastically since being alone a lot of the day. I know much of this would be solved if he had a family that could give him more attention. His perfect home would be with a family or couple that can be home for much of the day and possibly another dog that he can horse around with. I will only rehome him to a family that can give a home he will thrive in. Adopters will be vetted properly.

Dash
Great Dane × Labrador Retriever
This handsome boy is Dash and he is 6 months old as of October. He is the sweetest boy but a hyper pup (as expected though) I have another dog who he gets along with but my other dog is not really taking a liking to him like I thought she would. She has become very food aggressive and attacks him when he’s eating his dog food and she is showing little to no interest in him and has become more territorial. He gets scared easily by her and it’s just not fair to him. He is also starting to completely clear our chain linked fence so he definitely needs a privacy fence or a big yard! He sleeps inside in his crate at night and is outside most of the day cause he loves to be outside! So he isn’t really potty trained. He will let you know at night most times if he has to use the restroom, he has had a couple accidents in his crate. He is still at the stage where he just lets loose when excited or scared as well and I feel like my dog hasn’t helped with that situation. He will come with a crate, harness/collar, leash! He also is NOT fixed yet. Just want him to go to a home where he can be himself. Also I would recommend NO small children, as he doesn’t understand his force yet and runs straight into them and jumps on them. We’ve tried to work with him with that but he just gets so so excited! We would love to set up a time for you to meet Dash! Also only text if you are TRULY interested and will stay in communication!! This dog is truly a sweetheart and deserves a loving and caring home to continue to grow and be himself! (I am not sure of his exact breed, all I know is his mama is australian shepherd/Boarder collie mix. The dad is lab/great Dane mix.) Adoption fee is 50.
Little Man
Great Dane
Little Man is your typical fun and silly velcro Dane. He is just over a year old and has grown up around cats and dogs. He is extremely playful and loves to carry around stuffed toys. He will sit for a treat and he expects to have spot next to you on the couch or bed. He is potty trained and uses a dog door. I adore this dog! Unfortunately, my job has changed and I am not only working extremely long hours for the foreseeable future but I am moving into an apartment that does not allow dogs over 50 lbs. Little Man deserves so much affection and play time. He is a great dog! Only apply if you want lots of unconditional love and doggy snuggles!
