Danes In Distress

LUCY

Very few of us Dane fanatics have experienced the sheer pleasure of their canine companion attaining the age of 14. Depending on the website that you're on a Great Dane is considered a geriatric at age 6. Lucy is a very old lady ❤️

When Lucy came to us in 2016 at the age of 4 she was in really rough shape. That is a long forgotten time by Lucy as a decade of good living, good food, veterinary care and a loving Mom has passed since then.

As often happens in rescue, especially breed specific rescue, we often become steadfast friends with adopters and I did with Colleen. It's been my pleasure to spend 9 beautiful days with Lucy while her Mom was on a vacation and I filled my time giving hugs, kisses, snacks, brushing and walks with Lucy and my own dogs. I was lucky enough to have Bella, a Danes in Distress rescue, for 11.5 years. But what does 14 look like??

🐾 Please post pictures of your Danes, young and old, in the comments. If they've come through our rescue please let us know when and their names 🐾

Sweetest Berry of them all...

Berry is on the lookout for a family to adopt! Could it be you?

Berry is estimated to be 4.5 yo and a happy dog who enjoys the company of humans and other dogs. She likes to play with stuffed animals, lean against you for affection, and zoom around the yard.

She would do best in a home with adults only or older children, a relaxed lifestyle, and a quieter neighbourhood/environment. She is an alert dog, and will bark at approaching or passing people and dogs.

Berry walks nicely without pulling on a halti, and is redirected with treats and space when she sees other dogs.

Speaking of treats, Berry loves food more than anything in the world. All edible items must be kept away in your home or Berry will find them! For this reason, she may need to be confined when left alone, depending on your home environment.

Berry gets along with most other dogs, and would prefer to meet any potential dog siblings before adoption.

When meeting new people Berry gets very excited. If you put her on a leash, she settles down quickly and is happy to receive affection from new people.
