This page was created to help connect adult Great Danes with adoptive homes.
Occasionally, breeders may have older puppies or adults available for adoption. There
may have been an older puppy or adult returned to the breeder due to unforeseen
circumstances with their former owners, or there may be a retired dog that a breeder
feels would be happier living out their retirement in the calm environment of a one dog
family with adult owners where they can relish the undivided attention of their new
adoptive family. In addition, restrictive pet limit laws sometimes force breeders to make
difficult decisions, as many town ordinances only allow breeders to keep a very small
number of animals in their homes. Because of these restrictions, some breeders may be
forced to place a dog/puppy who didn't turn out as show/breeding quality in order to
continue their breeding program, or a dog/puppy who was returned by their previous
owner, or an adult who has retired from showing/breeding.

Please note that these available dogs are not rescues, whether the dog is from my
breeding or is from a referral to another breeder. They are in safe, happy homes until and
unless the perfect family comes along for them. Please also note that with referrals, the
available dogs may not necessarily be from harlequin/mantle breeding, they may be fawn,
brindle, black or blue instead. Only occasionally do I get a request to help re-home a dog
from a rescue situation, but those are generally dogs that came from back yard breeders
and I cannot speak for the health, temperament or quality of such dogs, though I still feel
it's important to find them loving adoptive homes when needed.
If you are interested in finding out about any available adults or receiving a referral to another
breeder who may have an adult available, please take a minute to fill out the following form.
