Say Hello to Zeus

by

Hello i am a 2 year old very sensitive big guy named Zeus. I like other dogs but cats are unknown. Kids make me nervous so a really laid back house is right up my alley. I am very very sensitive so I need time to meet you and meet you again before I would come home with you; it takes me long to get over being left by my family. I am a lovely dog that just likes to lay back around the house and give my paw to someone. I am not destructive in the house and like men and women as well. I will let you do mostly anything like baths, ear cleanings and kisses but just need time to get over being left from my foster family; I really do take it to heart. I am a native Pittsburgh boy.

Hi my name is George; you know Georgie Porgie kissed the girls and made them cry, only I kissed the girls and made them pregnant. Yes that was my job alright, someone had to do it and I did it well but I hear that I am going into retirement soon. i am not sure what that entails but a free dental plan along with free and often milk bones would be so appreciated.  I am a 4 year old harlequin male and I love the girls. I also love people, dogs of all kind but my response to cats is unknown.  I am a special needs doggie because my hind legs turn in and hit each other at the knees (so no one is perfect but this does not hinder me at all. ) I was raised in a dog run and just let out to do my job. For the first time I am playing with all the dogs and just blending right in. I can now run and do things I could only dream about. It is like I am starting over and now learning the ropes of what it is like to be a dog. I am too sexy for myself and I just love life and love playing all day.

i am neutered and vetted and looking handsome as ever to meet my new family. i do have to mention that the vet did find a heart murmur and also says that my hips may develop arthritis possibly some hip dysplaysia later in life so i have to stay on the slim side and be on dogie vitamins to help with my bones. i  am in need of some tender loving care for sure and i do know now to give it back. i am just such a great dog. come see me  soon

The King of your castle

by

Hello my name is King. I am called king because I am the king of my castle.   I am a 3 year old blue merle Great Dane male from Kentucky and proud of it. My bark is with an accent and  I love love love to play, do commands and talk to you all day. I love to give my paw to people and like kids over 9 years old. Cats are unknown for me but I do seem to get along with all dogs and seem to be a submissive kind of guy.  I was surrendered because my family could not afford me

I am so handsome and a smaller size Great Dane so that is great for both of us to fit on the couch together. I am very agile like a deer and love to just be-bop around the yard all day.  I am a very sweet sweet man puppy and looking for my new home.  Swimming pools and watermelon are my  favorite things, whats yours?

Zada, Zada, bo-bada

Hello, I am a 4 year old lovely lovely lovely brindle girl. I like other dogs but not small ones. I have lived with cats in the past and am good for kids over 9 years old. I am what every Great Dane should look like. I am very laid back and would love a quiet household.

I know my commands and get along with dogs and cats just not those little dogs. I am so laid back and an asset to any household. I have my stomach tacked to prevent bloat. I am such a wonderful little lady in the house. I walk nicely on a leash and just look beautiful all day so come see me in person.

Meet Ginger

by

Hello my name is Ginger. Well it was changed from an Italian name and since i don’t speak Italian much they decided to call me Ginger .

I am a wonderful friendly gal that loves to play and eat and play and eat and play and eat. I like other dogs but cats are not my thing. I love people and kids over 9 years old because I take treats very vivaciously.  I am crate trained and my puppy making days are over though I used to take care of puppies day in and day out.

I am a Pennsylvania gal and I love my ears rubbed.  I love walks and love a laid back household to rest my bones in.  If you are this kind of household than I am your gal. I am about 3 years old and considered a fawn color and by the way if you look at the Pennsylvania state dog that is my picture up there.

 

I’m Goin Off the Rails with a Crazy Dane

by

Ok world here I come; I am a hometown boy from West Virginia but you would not know it from the way I handle myself with the ladies. I love the girl doggies but seem to want to challenge the boys for their affections so I would do better with a female dog in the bunch.  My name is Ozzie and I am the handsomest doggie east of the Rockies( ok whole country but I didn’t want to brag).

I am confident, know commands and will choose to do them when I want to, but that is my age showing. I am 1.5 years old and have a lot of living to do. Cats are unknown around me and older kids only. I was given up because kids liked to throw rocks at me while they passed on their bikes so a fenced in yard is warranted since I broke the chain I was on to run after the bikes.

I am crate trained and camera shy.  I love to play with my girlfriend Raven in the back yard.  I will do anything for a cookie so make sure you have one ready for me when you come to visit me.  I am a big guy so I need lots of room and someone that isn’t going to let me get away with too much. I know my charm will woo you and you will be putty in my hands.

I’m not Opie, I’m Deacon

by

Here’s the real description of Deacon:

Hi my name is Deacon. I am a 1.5 year old Dane, ha ha fooled you, I look like I am a Beagle mix, so don’t ask why I am on this Dane site but the ones that sent me to this rescue said that I looked like a little mini Dane. Yeah ok so I am cute as a button and I have the pictures to prove it. I walk on my hind legs for treats, I have something called a Napoleon complex which is really funny because i have never been to France.

I do not like big dogs, so as you can imagine I am doing really well here in a Great Dane rescue; got to keep everyone in line I guess. I belonged to an elderly family and the couple did a lot of traveling so I was stuck in daycare more than at home, so hence I am here now with a rescue instead of the shelter I was at. I get along with all the ladies and do get along with most dogs except the really big ones. I like to challenge them to a duel and I am going to win. I haven’t met a bunny I didn’t like ( in a stew or on a plate ) so no little animals for me please.

I love people and am willing to do anything to let them see how cute I am. I am crate trained walk great on a leash and I love kids and people. I stop for any picture anyone wants to take of me. I am about 22 pounds of hunk of hunk of burning love and can show you if you like.

He’s Not Opie, I’m Opie!!

So the knucklehead that does our website posted Deacon’s pictures on Opie’s Post.  Below are the actual pictures of Opie, with Opie’s write up:

Hello guys, my name is Opie, you know like in the saying “Opie dokie?” Ok so it is kind of like that. So anyways I am the most handsome Great Dane in the world, yes i won that title last year and it still holds true.

I am 6 years young and I love love love to do things my way, kind of like good old Frankie blue eyes. I love people and older kids, and oh yeah forgot to tell you that I am a special needs guy,; I can’t hear. I do come with a vibrating collar and I do look at you for signs.

I love to help my owners with the cleaning of the dishes, surfing the counters for clean ups and I really love to get any fleas off my masters with my flea biting to help assist them to be rid of those nasty fleas; I love grooming my owners and sitting on the couch with them. Sometimes I play by myself if no one else is around and I do have a habit of trying to ride up in the front of the car, on the dash that is, you know I feel it is better to have a Dane head there than a plastic Jesus anyday. I am a little bit high strung if my owners aren’t around but not destructive at all. i do enjoy every once in a while shredding up a blanket.

My hang ups are little dogs and no one is sure about me with cats. I am a West Virginia boy and I do howl with a bit of an accent but I left my farmer overalls behind for the bright lights of Pittsburgh, PA.  I am so great and everyone tells me so.
