Disclaimer: You must be an approved adopter to be considered for adoption.

Buck - Foster Home Needed
Buck is a sweet boy who just wants to be loved. Buck is about 5 yrs old. He loves to nestle his head into you and is kid tested and cat tested. He plays very well with everyone. He is still unsure of his surroundings but warms up quickly. He rides well in the car and will make someone a WONDERFUL pet and is eager to become a part of a “family”. Buck would do best in a home with another calm Dane.
Buck is very well behaved and love laying in the sun or on their bed (or yours )
Buck came to MAGDRL in August (5).

Duke
Duke is young Dane around a year old who is fully of puppy energy. He loves everyone he meets, and he LOVES to play! We have discovered that he can jump a 4 ft fence so a 6 ft fence will be required for his adoptive family. He loves to play with his buddies so he will need to go to a home with another young playful dog to help him burn off some of that energy.
Duke is currently at our kennel waiting for a foster home and he is really enjoying doggie day care and having all the different dogs to play with. He has yet to not make friends with everyone he meets.
Since Duke is a young boy and is still learning proper manners there will be a training addendum as part of his adoption contract to ensure he continues to learn proper behavior so he will be a fantastic addition to his new family.
Duke will be available for adoption as soon as he is neutered. Duke came to MAGDRL in August. (5)

Maeve
Maeve is a pretty girl who came to rescue from a shelter after being found as a stray. Maeve looks to have been on her own for quite some time given her physical appearance. She is emaciated and has some medical issues. Given all she has been thru she is the sweetest girl and is loving the indoor life. She is learning how comfy a couch can be and loves attention from her foster Mom.
Maeve will be on Medical Hold for quite some time while we learn more about her and until we can get her medically cleared and put on some badly needed weight.
Update 8/13/19
The Marvelous Ms. Maeve is a funny girl who loves to play with soft toys and enjoys throwing them air and catching them. She also enjoys running around the yard at high speeds. Her long legs don't always match what her brain tells her and it's a belly laughing moment to watch her let loose. Maeve isn't accustomed to living in a house and does need time and patience to learn the ropes. She also needs someone who will be firm with boundaries and training. Maeve will have a training addendum as a requirement of her adoption to ensure she continues to learn proper manners. As Maeve was found as a stray, we have no info on her previous life. She is still a work in progress with housebreaking but is making progress.
Maeve loves human attention and no clue what personal space is. However, one look in to her soulful gray eyes and you'll be hooked. Maeve clearly loves people and would thrive in a home where she isn't left alone frequently, at least until she is more trusting that she won't be abandoned. Saying Maeve loves food is an understatement, as she came in emaciated, this girl will eat anything. Breakfast and Dinner are her favorite times of day. Maeve would do best in a home with no other dogs, at least until she is more settled. She may do well in a home with her same activity level, as Maeve can be overwhelming for submissive or older dogs.
Maeve still has some health issues we are working thru as well as a much needed dental and spay but is well on her way to recovery and being ready for her forever home. After several more vet visits the Doctors feel that she is closer to 3 years old and not a senior! I am sure once she gets her dental, she will have the teeth of a 3 year old.
Update 9/10/19
Maeve is healthy enough that she was able to be spayed and have her dental and now has gorgeous teeth! She has put on the much-needed weight and looks fantastic! Maeve is a very loving girl who just wants to spend time with people. She loves bully sticks and soft toys, she’s yet to tear one apart. She likes to explore the backyard and sunbathe. Her favorite activity though, is being loved on. She craves affection and wants constant contact and loves a schedule, she would do best in a home where someone is home a lot. She will do well in a home with structure and training. She’s high energy and needs a family that will work with her and engage in lots of fun exercise. Maybe will do best in a home with older children and no other dogs, at least until she’s more settled or has training.

Violet
Violet is a 3-year-old petite Black Dane. Violet LOVES to play with other dogs and really enjoys the activity. She may be small but makes up for it with love and attention. She loves nothing more to get in your lap for a good snuggle. She is a smart funny girl who just wants someone’s complete attention.
Violet came to MAGDRL in August (5).
Update 9-13-19
Violet has really settled in at her foster home and shown us just how much of a sweetheart she really is. When she first came to the foster family, she was a bit shy and nervous, especially around men. However, she has warmed up very quickly and absolutely loves to snuggle up with everyone and give kisses. She greets us with a toy when we walk into the house and is always a happy girl!
Violet is an active Dane and LOVES to go for walks and car rides. We've taken her to the dog park twice and she has gotten along well with the other dogs. She would be a perfect dog for someone who loves to jog or run - she has gone out with her foster mom on short jogs and she will keep a perfect pace at your side. Violet also LOVES any and all squeaky toys and carries her favorites around with her everywhere (including on walks!). She has been left loose in the house alone for up to 6 hours and is trustworthy, though she may try to counter-surf for tasty treats. At night, she curls up on her dog bed next to her foster mom but would also probably love to climb up into the bed and snuggle too! Violet would probably love to have some other dogs to play with, or at least be in an active household.

Lilly-Courtesy Listing
Lilly is a regal young lady. She is about 6 years young. She loves her humans, preferably females, and will shower them with love. Regarding other animals, she can be temperamental but seems to do better with male dogs and she has had no exposure to cats. She is a very energetic Great Dane. She loves to try to catch the ball but is very lovably awkward when doing so because of her size. Her all-time favorite game is hide and seek. She is great at that game using her sense of smell to sniff you out. Lilly would do best in a home with a fenced yard to help her get out her energy during playtime. Lilly also loves car rides and other outings. She is an absolute gem of a faithful companion.
