Bingo-on medical hold
Bingo is a 1-2 year old Merle with natural ears. He weighed in at 114lbs but it is all muscle. He is tall and still needs to fill out. His home will need to be ready for a large Dane. Although he is still a puppy and is still growing, he will most likely just fill out and not get too much taller. Bingo is house trained and has only had 1 accident since in foster care. He will need a little patience settling into his new home as all puppies do. He is NOT to be trusted free roaming in the home with no supervision. After all he is still a puppy and will get into puppy things. Bingo is crate trained. Bingo is a Velcro Dane and loves to be near his humans. He will lay at your feet and cuddle with you all day if you let him but will just as soon jump on your bed and stretch out. He is tall enough to counter surf and has shown puppy curiosity in the kitchen.
Bingo came into rescue with happy tail that was not healing after numerous vet visits and wraps. He had surgery to amputate his tail and is recovering from the surgery. Until he is given his clean bill of health he will not be available for adoption.
Bingo is learning how to play with his foster brothers and sister. He is currently fostered with a male Dane, a female Dane and a male Boxer. Bingo’s personality says he would do fine with only lots of humans but in a perfect world he would have a dog to show him how to be a dog. Although not a requirement it is strongly suggested. Bingo needs to learn to be a puppy and needs a confident dog to show him how to play nicely and the ropes of the home. He will need a fenced yard and plenty of exercise to work the puppy energy out of him. He rides well in a car and shown no sign of resource guarding. He is curious about what other dogs are doing so care should be given at feeding time to make sure the other dog has no issues. He is a leaner and will nudge for attention. He also knows some basic commands but will be adopted with a training addendum. Bingo will need patience, love, reassurance and a firm owner to develop into the Dane we know he wants to be. Bingo will NOT be adopted to a first time Dane owner. He is also in need of some leash work. He just doesn’t know how to walk on one. On a Martingale he is controllable. His foster will begin work on a gentle leader to see if that improves control.
Bingo came to MAGDRL in September (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)
Update 10-4-19
Duke is an energetic boy who is full of puppy energy! His favorite things are to take a nice long walk or play ball, then lay down on your feet for a rest. With his graceful gait and glossy black fur, he is also simply gorgeous, although a little underweight. Since he is young and energetic, Duke needs a little work on manners, such as not jumping up or pulling on the leash, but he is eager to please and a fast learner.
Duke is good with kids and does well with cats and other dogs as long as they are carefully introduced. He would make a wonderful best friend for any active family.

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.
Update 10-10-19
Violet has really settled into her foster home and showing us just what a sweetheart she really is. She absolutely loves to cuddle on the couch and watch TV all day - in fact, if you're doing housework, Violet will follow you around and wonder why you aren't on the couch watching TV with her! Despite her inherent laziness, she really loves car rides and walks, and gets very excited when we get out her harness! Lately, Violet has really enjoyed a weekly visit to Petsmart, where she picks out a new squeaky toy, which she proudly carries around the entire store. Violet is fully house-trained and has had no accidents, and will let you know if she needs to go outside. She has been left alone for up to 6 hours with no problems. Her foster mom thinks that Violet would do well in a house with other dogs, or in a house where she isn't left alone for too long. She loves company - either human or dog!

Lilly
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.
