Baz – 3 year old male Great Dane

Babworth Animal Rescue Kennels (BARK) Nottinghamshire — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 06:45:52 +0000

Baz came into the shelter with his brother Smiffy in September 2010 who got re-homed straight away, our Baz is quite a nervous and shy dog and was very underweight when he came in. He has now put on weight and is slowly coming round to us. He tends to bark a lot when you approach his kennel and can seem a little aggressive, but once inside, he is a different dog. With time and patience, he will make a really lovely pet.

Have you got room in your heart and home for this beautiful gentle giant?

Baz – 3 year old male Great Dane

Maddie – 4 year old female Great Dane

Maxicare Dog Rehoming Northamptonshire — Thu, 26 May 2011 07:34:55 +0000

Maddie is a pretty 4 year old girl. She came from the dog pound but we do know she has had many different homes in her short life so far so is a little insecure and unsettled right now. She’s friendly and loving and would dearly love the opportunity to let her true loving personality blossom. Maddie requires a home where it is calm and quiet most of the time and she is the centre of attention, sorry no young children please.

Misty – 18 month old female Great Dane

Ironmountain Dog Rescue Kingston upon Thames — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 12:52:09 +0000

Misty is a young female Bully cross who is neutered. She adores children, likes other dogs of size, and is very human bonded. She is in training at the moment for her pulling, which is pure excitement and improves every day. She is clean in the house, and loves nothing more than a cuddle.

Misty is energetic, and hasn’t finished growing yet. She needs a very active family to help bring her on, and someone who enjoys agility would find a perfect partner in this very smart girl – she’s so desperate to please, but lacks the knowledge at the moment to know what the right thing to do is. She loves to run, and equally loves to come back for a fuss!

I don’t want Misty to spend Christmas in kennels – she spends three days a week with a family, where she is blossoming – but she needs a home who love her silly panda eyes, and her lovely, lively nature.

*Update December*

MISTY is doing really well in her training. She is like a puppy: full of energy and wants to play al the time, but she also wants to please. Misty will suit a very active family without small children – she is big and very strong bouncy dog and her constantly wagging tail could seriously hurt little ones. Nowadays she accepts strangers/visitors much quicker, providing they are correctly ‘introduced’.

With right handling and calm owner with whom she will feel safe Misty will blossom into a most magnificent dog – she already has the looks.

*Update January 2011*

Where do I start with Misty? She is not so much a Crossbreed as a Chimera…. body of a lioness, tail of a velociraptor, face of a panda, prey drive of a greyhound and brain of a duck.

She is a total joy to have in the house- will happily sleep in her bed when nothing is going on, will join in with any hugs going spare and guard you when you take a bath. I have never met a more thoroughly housetrained dog- we have only had one accident when she was so thrilled to greet my husband back from work that she weed a bit and immediately took to her bed in shame. She will dance around by the door when she needs the loo, and if you dont take the hint will point at her lead.

When she meets someone new she sets the Internal Misty Timer and as long as the newcomer doesnt do anything dodgy in 15 minutes they’re on the list, during this time its wise to ignore her as she grumbles and growls disapprovingly to herself, we’ve had her in the room during a raucous family party and she gave up and slept through the entire thing. Gets on well with children but would knock a small one flying, ignores my cats and plays well with my sister in laws Staffie and is happy to let her dictate the rules of the game and make growly Gremlin noises.

She snores like a tractor on a cold morning. Her prey drive is high. I have no doubt if she were to meet one of my goats in an unsupervised moment it would be Misty 1 Goat Nil and Void. We love this dog- she has a sweet nature and a big heart, she just wants to be around you and genuinely wants to please, tries her best and doesnt make trouble, if it werent for her prey drive she wouldnt be going anywhere.

Nellie – 5 year old female Great Dane

South East Dog Rescue — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:36:27 +0000

Nellie is a loving and loyal blue merle great dane, who is 5 years old, neutered, vaccinated, wormed, deflead and micro chipped. Nellie came into rescue as she did not get along with the resident bitch in her old home. She mixes here with other dogs without problem but we are looking for a home without other dogs for her, where she will get the individual attention she adores.

Nellie is a little shy with new people at first, but is a really happy, playful girl once she knows you. She’s a well behaved girl who will give a little bark if i’m late coming with her dinner! Nellie walks well on the lead, but has zero recall off lead, so cannot be let off lead.
She has lived with children over 10, and is used to living with cats.

Nellie’s new owner will preferably have great dane / large dog experience. Nellie is a stunning girlie, who is full of character and will make a fabulous addition to the right home. If you can offer Nellie the new life she is looking for, please call Kymm on 07886 620009 or email southeastdogrescue@hotmail.com
