Great Dane and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Hamantha is a resilient, affectionate girl who has been through more than most dogs her age-and she's still showing up every day with a gentle heart and a strong desire to connect with her people. She is currently recovering in a foster home, where she continues to heal and adjust with dedicated support.

From the moment she arrived, Hamantha has shown herself to be tolerant, people-oriented, and eager for reassurance. While she can be timid in new or stressful situations, she allows handling, seeks interaction, and bonds closely with her caregivers. She thrives when she feels secure and supported.

Medical & Special Care Needs

Hamantha has a significant orthopedic history related to an old injury to her right hip. Imaging revealed severe arthritis with destruction of the hip socket, likely caused by trauma long before she came into our care. Due to the extent of the injury, Hamantha required a hind leg amputation, along with spay and entropion correction surgery. She is still in recovery and remains under close veterinary supervision.

As a tripod, Hamantha may always have some degree of mobility difference and will benefit from:

Staying lean and fit

A home mindful of mobility (limited stairs and jumping)

Hamantha is:

Good with dogs

Cat tolerant (calm and respectful)

Good with kids (with appropriate supervision)

She does experience significant separation anxiety and forms strong attachments to her people. When left alone, she may panic, vocalize, or attempt to escape confinement. Because of this, she is seeking:

An adopter who is home often or able to work on gradual alone-time training

A patient, experienced home willing to continue behavior support and medication management as needed

Someone who understands that progress will take time, consistency, and compassion

She is also still working on house-training consistency, particularly with urination, and does best with a structured routine and positive reinforcement.

Ideal Home

Hamantha would thrive in a calm, structured home with:
-A committed adopter who understands both medical and behavioral needs
-Willingness to continue training, veterinary care, and anxiety management
-A secure environment where she feels safe, supported, and loved

Hamantha has already shown incredible resilience and effort, even when things are hard. With the right home, she has the potential to blossom into a deeply loyal and loving companion.

If you're looking for a dog who will bond closely, appreciate patience, and return kindness tenfold, Hamantha may be the one for you!

The Great Dane is a majestic and gentle giant known for its impressive size and friendly demeanor. With roots dating back to ancient times, this breed is valued for its noble appearance and loyal temperament. Great Danes are known to be excellent family companions, often forming strong bonds with their owners. Despite their intimidating stature, they are generally gentle and affectionate, making them great pets for families of all sizes. Their easygoing nature and playful personality make them a popular choice for those seeking a loving and regal companion.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
