Scooby
Great Dane, Male, 2 Years Old
Meet Scooby!! Scooby is a 2 year old Black Great Dane that may or may not have some Lab in him. Scooby came to us very scared of the outside world but was the fastest learner when it came to figuring out it was for the most part safe. Scooby is still learning social cues and will sometimes be uncomfortable around new dogs or people until he knows they are safe. This can sometimes look strange as he will bristle up even though he is not aggressive at all. Once he knows they are safe (about 10 minutes usually) he is good to go and loves running with them. Scooby needs training and time with people.
Scooby LOVES, well Everything! Life is an adventure to this guy (once the fear is gone). He is very hyper and loves to practice for the next 500K coming up. He is happy to chase those pesty squirrels. Does great with Dogs, and people. Did well with the few times he has seen cats at the vet, but unsure about living with them. He is super athletic and curious.
Scooby’s Back Story: Scooby was purchased as a puppy for a bedridden elder by his family. They felt a dog in a kennel by the bed could keep him company while they were gone. Caretakers of the person were concerned because the dog was never let out and a couple times a week the family would come over and haul the kennel outside with Scooby in it and used a power hose to clean out the waste. Thanks to a caretaker, Scooby found his way to us. By the time he came he had spent several months locked in a too small kennel with no social interaction, toys, or kind touch. He was afraid of everything. The first toy terrified him. Luckily he is quick to pick up on the fact he is safe. He is super smart and was fully house trained within 2 days.
Ghost Rider
Catahoula mix, Male, 1.5 Years Old
Meet Ghost Rider! Ghost Rider is a 1.5 years old very happy and super playful Catahoula. Ghost Rider is partially deaf and has very little peripheral vision. Straight ahead he can see fine. He is part of a breeders litter who is known for their Catahoulas! They are highly sought after dogs due to their training and intelligence. Unfortunately for Rider, it was obvious that the family business was not what he was cut out for. His breeder was kind enough to contact us when they knew of his issues; they did not want to risk him getting into the wrong hands, being bred or not well taken care of.
He has some training and our trainer who has extensive training working with deaf dogs has started working with him and can continue to help the adopting family. He does well with cats, dogs and people, but due to limited vision might bump into people and could knock over a smaller child. Due to his loss of peripheral vision, he can get startled and if things are moved or added/removed from his known environment. It can take him a couple days to adapt.
He is good with all sizes, shapes and mannerisms (even the crazy ones), of dogs and simply ignores cats. He LOVES his people and would prefer to have all of their attention, but he is NOT aggressive to the other dogs.
Angel
Great Dane Mix, Female, 4.5 Years Old
Angel is a 4.5 Year Old Great Dane/Smooth Coated Collie Mix. She loves playing with other dogs and ignores cats, unless they want to play. She loves her people and even though she loves playing with other dogs, she really wants her human all to herself.
She is also laid back and enjoys a good cuddle and chill on the couch while catching up on some TV.
Angel is crate trained, enjoys toys and completely untrustworthy on free roam with high interest items (this includes expensive items; we don’t know how she knows – but she does!)
Mazikeen - PENDING
Great Dane, Female, 9 Months Old
Mazikeen is an owner surrendered 9 month Great Dane. She is new to our rescue and still being evaluated. Mazikeen cannot be in a home with other Female Dogs.
Daisy
Great Dane, Female, 5-7 Years Old
Meet Daisy! Daisy is a 5-7 years old Great Dane. She is very laid back and is currently learning to play with toys and hanging with her people. Currently in her foster home she is living with 2 corgi’s and 4 chihuahua mixes as well as several cats. She is very laid back and does well with others. She does like to announce new arrivals, but once they are in she is good. Daisy’s Back Story: Daisy originally was with a backyard breeder. She was a breeder dog who didn't produce high enough so they got rid of her on craigslist. A veteran saw the post, took her to try to save her and surrendered her to us. When she was living with the veteran, a Pity and a German Shepherd for a bit. This sweet and amazing girl is currently living with cats, small dogs, and medium dogs and she is appreciating the good life.
Eustace
Great Dane, Male, 8 Months Old
Meet Eustace! Eustace is almost a year old and has Auto-immune issues along with HOD. While we were very lucky and caught the HOD early, he will always show signs of this through his deformed limbs. There is always a slight chance that it can come back and his pet parents will need to be very careful with vaccinations due to the auto-immune issues.
Eustace LOVES toys, food, playing with others and climbing on his person. Paw Patrol is a morning favorite that he will watch with his little sister. He requires inside and outside toys and will take toys out if he feels there is not enough outside. Laying in the grass is a great day for him and depending on the treats he loves spending time training and pretending to walk well on a leash.
Eustace loves everyone once he gets to know them, but the world at large is very scary and he tends to have issues away from his Emotional Support Person. He is currently in training to work on his confidence. When stressed he can often be destructive or not be able to control going to the bathroom.

Vida - MEDICAL HOLD
Anatolian Mix., Female, 8 Months Old
Vida is new to the rescue and still under care and evaluation.
She is about 8 months old. She is currently very small for her size due to food issues. When she came to us, she was so starved she had organs shutting down. We have to be very careful as she runs the high risk of needing a blood transfusion. But since she has been in her foster home, she seems to be doing much better. She is perkier. The vet says that she is an Anatolian Shepherd or possibly an Anatolian Mix. Her foster home says she is incredibly sweet.
Currently Vida is on medical hold and not available for adoption until we know she is in the clear.
Cocoa - MEDICAL HOLD
Great Dane, Female, 5 Years Old
Meet Cocoa! is looking for her New Forever Home. (she will be available for adoption once her Happy Tail is fixed - but get a head start and let her know that she has a home once she is healed and ready).
Cocoa is coming up on 5 years old and is learning the benefits of having fur siblings and toys, lots of toys! She can play a little rough with her fur siblings, but quick to redirect. She has lived with children and seems to ignore cats.
Cocoa is an expert at opening sliding gates and sliding doors. She has enough drool for two other dogs. She loves to be in the middle of the action and assumes everyone else wants her there! She is a foodie and likes to sample everyone’s dish!
Cocoa’s Back Story: Cocoa is a 4 year old black Great Dane that was owner surrendered to us due to a divorce. Cocoa was just recently spayed and recovered from an internal infection. But Cocoa also has a case of Happy Tail. Cocoa will be having surgery on her Happy Tail. The skin is so damaged and will never fully heal so the vet is planning on removing the last 2-3” from her tail.

Phryne - MEDICAL HOLD
Great Dane, Female, 7 Months Old
Hi there! I'm Phryne and I'm named after the heroine in Miss Fisher's mysteries. She had a lot to overcome just like me, but like my namesake, I'm going to come out on top. My foster mom says that I'm deaf and have some health issues but apparently I'm not old enough to fully test yet. I may also have some vision issues, but rest-assured, I am not going to let this stop me from living the best life possible. Just like my book character, I am very courageous and will tackle the tough hand I was dealt with fearlessness. I have been told I have the sweetest of hearts and I love to snuggle. I'm looking for my forever home where I can be loved unconditionally despite the obstacles I need to overcome.
Duke
Mastiff, Male, 9-11 Years Old (?)
Duke and his brother were leashed up to a pole outside the local Humane Society. The Humane Society thinks Duke is about 11 years old. Now that he is under our care we are thinking Duke is younger than 11 years old and just had a rough life.
The Duke has possibly come from an abusive situation based on witness account
Duke is now safe in a loving STG Foster Home and currently being evaluated so we can learn his personality, likes and dislikes. Right now, he may require a home with carpeting.

Starr
Great Dane, Female, 11 Weeks Old
Starr - Born on July 8th is looking for her forever home.
Starr came to her foster home in tough shape, but she has made significant strides since her arrival. She is gaining healthy weight and her coat is thickening. She is timid and sticks close to her foster mom, but that means she’s a wonderful snuggler. Although on the quieter side, don’t let her size fool you – she is scrappy and wrestles with the best of them with no problem challenging her bigger sister, Abbey. Starr shines bright among her siblings, with a sweet disposition and a goal to be a lifelong lap dog.
Starr gets along great with her foster dog siblings and she has had peaceful interactions with her foster cat siblings.
Sargent
Great Dane, Male, 11 Weeks Old
Sargent - Born on July 8th is looking for his forever home. As the only male in this group and the second smallest of the four, Sargent works hard to make sure his sisters aren’t getting the best of him. What he lacks in size he makes up for in swagger! He is the great instigator and loves to play. His favorite game is tug of war and sliding behind his foster mom’s robe in the morning. Sargent is such a happy guy and a major charmer! Sargent gets along great with his foster dog siblings and he has had peaceful interactions with his foster cat siblings.
Abbey
Great Dane, Female, 11 Weeks Old
Abbey - Born on July 8th is looking for her forever home. Abbey is such a mellow girl. She can play with the best of them and has the advantage of outweighing her siblings, but she much prefers a soft lap and a scratch behind the ear. She has the softest coat and enjoys laying in the grass sunbathing. On occasion the zoomies get the best of her, but overall, she’s a chill kind of girl and is super proud of her latest accomplishment: mastering the sofa. Abbey gets along great with her foster dog siblings and she has had peaceful interactions with her foster cat siblings.
Lucy
Great Dane, Female, 11 Weeks Old
Lucy - Born on July 8th is looking for her forever home. Lucy is a leader. She is watchful and keeps an eye on the yard, pointing out shadows, frogs, and kids on trampolines. She plays hard and ensures everyone is getting their exercise. She tucks everyone in (aka, wrestles them into bed) and is the last to nap. She loves her foster humans and enjoys a good snuggle once she knows everything around her is settled. She is beauty and brains and a complete love. Lucy gets along great with her foster dog siblings and she has had peaceful interactions with her foster cat siblings.
