Great Dane Dogs Available for Adoption

Kahlua (often called Lula) is a stunning, golden-eyed 5-year-old blue merle girl currently being fostered in Gulf Shores, Alabama. She was "retired" (surrendered, but let's be dramatic) through no fault of her own, and is now desperately seeking a permanent, high-quality couch to lounge on for the next half of her fabulous life.

Kahlua is affectionately known as a “dog’s dog,” which is code for: her friends with four paws come first, and her two-legged minions come second. But don’t let that slight fool you—she's loyal, but only after she's finished her important dog-business. Her absolute favorite time of day is when her humans return, allowing her the grand opportunity to greet them with a victory trophy (usually a squeaky toy, sometimes your favorite shoe, or gasp the baby’s dirty socks… whatever she can weaponize the fastest). She got a tail dock early in life due to "happy tail" (read: excessive tail-whip destruction), which resulted in the most spectacular, butt-wiggling greeting you may ever witness!!

Kahlua is a very independent Dane—she basically missed the memo on the "Velcro Dog" stereotype. She enjoys being in your general vicinity, maybe a few feet away, but she is not a lap dog. She provides the perfect amount of "I love you, but please, let's just do our separate things. Also, stop looking at me."

Some key things Kahlua requires you to know about her:

Kids: Yes, please!! I am loyal and gentle to even the tiniest of snack-dispensers. I love lounging next to them and making sure they are staying out of trouble (by which I mean, checking for dropped cookies).

Dogs: Let’s play! Males are my preferred playmates because they let me win. I love being chased by alllll the dogs at daycare—it's excellent cardio.

Cats: Absolutely not. Those tiny, smug beasts are too hard to catch and it frankly makes me furious. They are just miniature chaos agents.

FedEx Man: There is something deeply unsettling about him, and I can smell that rolling metal prison from a mile away. I’m all bark though, I promise (but shhh, don’t tell him that… he might stop leaving me treats to appease the "angry dog").

Dieting: I am continuing on my weight loss journey, and I resent it deeply. The food on the counter is now considered "fair game" in my survival guide. Unless it’s vegetables—healthy food is gross, you can keep that nutritional nonsense to yourself.

Overall, Kahlua dreams of a family with kids, who will inevitably drop food, and perhaps another dog to act as her wingman/chasing partner, though a loving, furniture-filled home is honestly enough! She still has a lot of life and love to give, so don't let that sweet, graying muzzle fool you—she's still a glorious goofball!

Kahlua is spayed, fully vaccinated and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $350. To read over the adoption requirements before applying, please go to www.nwflgdr.com/adopt.

Please note: NWFLGDR does not transport. All approved adopters are required to pick up the dog from his or her foster.
