About Rufus
Hi everyone I’m making this difficult post in the hopes of finding my boy a perfect home. This is Rufus the Great Dane. He is estimated to be around 4-5 years old and 140lbs. He is house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. He is up to date on all vaccines, neutered, and gastropexied. He has no known health issues, just takes a hip/joint supplement. He is a love bug and absolutely adores people. He lives for attention, cuddling and socializing. He has chilled out a bit in his older age but still has lots of energy to go on walks and play, overall I’d say he’s a moderate-low energy dog. He loves car rides and does well traveling. He has lived with cats and dogs. Overtime he has become dog selective and requires slow introductions with new dogs. While he has gotten along with 90% of dogs he’s met there has been a few that he has been nippy/ protective towards and he does not do well meeting other dogs on leash. He is very clumsy with his feet and has accidentally injured small pups so he is best suited for a home possibly with a large dog or as an only pet. Unfortunately, I am working 60hr weeks and will be entering professional school so I’m away from home a lot. Rufus thrives with human interaction and I can tell his anxiety has increased drastically since being alone a lot of the day. I know much of this would be solved if he had a family that could give him more attention. His perfect home would be with a family or couple that can be home for much of the day and possibly another dog that he can horse around with. I will only rehome him to a family that can give a home he will thrive in. Adopters will be vetted properly.

I'm looking for a new home for my dog as I can't look after him myself any more due to a medical problem. He is a friendly dog who loves people gets on well with cats but is no keen on other dogs.
George
Great Dane
"💔 Looking to Rehome Our Sweet Boy George — Great Dane Puppy 🐾 📍Located just outside of Austin, TX This is one of the hardest posts I’ve had to make. Due to ongoing personal travel for health treatments, I’m no longer able to provide the consistent care and time that George deserves. Boarding him frequently isn’t ideal for him — or financially sustainable — and I want him to have the best life possible. George is a wonderful Merle Great Dane, born July 30th, 2024. He was purchased from a reputable AKC Great Dane breeder in Las Vegas, and is currently around 96 lbs — likely to max out around 115–118 lbs. He’s on the smaller side for a male Dane due to a hernia when he was younger, but he’s in excellent health now. ✅ Neutered ✅ Microchipped ✅ Up to date on all vaccines and vet checkups 🩺 Most recent wellness exam: July 11th, 2025 🚽 Fully potty trained 🛋️ Doesn’t chew or destroy things 🎓 Listens well and knows his commands 🌳 Loves being active and outdoors 🐾 Excellent with all animals — dogs, cats, bunnies, frogs, you name it! He’s gentle, curious, and respectful of every creature he meets. George is still very much a puppy at heart — playful, sweet, and full of personality. He would thrive in a home where he can have space, structure, and lots of love and attention. If you or someone you know is looking to give an amazing dog a forever home, please reach out to me directly. I will be carefully selecting where George goes — he deserves nothing less than the best. 💙"
Ava
Great Dane
🐾 Meet Ava a 7-Year-Old Great Dane Looking for Her Forever Home 🐾 We recently rescued Ava from a situation where she wasnt being cared for properly anymore. She is a sweet, full-blooded Great Dane who loves people and attention. At 7 years old, Ava is past the puppy stage but still has so much love to give. We quickly realized that she cannot thrive in our home because she needs to be the only pet. We are working with her on being more comfortable around other dogs, but it will take time and patience. If you have no other animals, you have nothing to worry about , Ava will happily be your loyal shadow and companion. She is wonderful with people, gentle with kids, and will come with her bed and a few of her favorite items to make her transition easier. If youre looking for a loving companion who will adore you endlessly, Ava is waiting for you!
