Great Dane Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Tim

Tim is a stunning 3-year-old Harlequin Great Dane with a gentle heart that’s learning to trust again. He came to us as an owner surrender when his previous family was no longer able to provide the care he needed. Since arriving in foster care, Tim has been making steady, heartwarming progress every day.

When Tim first arrived, he was very afraid. He would flinch at touch and bark nervously at unfamiliar people. Thankfully, he quickly bonded with the resident dogs in his foster home and looks to them for guidance and reassurance. With patience and consistency, Tim has blossomed into a loyal and affectionate companion.

Tim currently lives with three cats, a laid-back Great Dane, and a male pitty mix — and he does wonderfully with all of them. He was also raised with young children. While he can be cautious with new people (men may take a little longer), he does warm up with slow, gentle introductions. Once he feels safe, his sweet personality shines.

He’s what we lovingly call a “Velcro Dane” — Tim follows his foster mom everywhere and loves being close to his person. He walks nicely on a harness, especially when accompanied by his canine friends, and is beginning to learn basic obedience skills. He’s crate trained and has even graduated to free roam in his foster home.

Tim does use his nose quite a bit to navigate his surroundings, which may suggest some mild vision impairment, but it doesn’t slow him down or dampen his spirit.

Tim could thrive as an only dog, but he would also benefit from a calm, confident canine companion to continue helping him build confidence. Most importantly, Tim needs a patient, understanding family committed to giving him the slow introductions and reassurance he deserves.

Tim is a truly wonderful dog — he just needs a little time to show you how special he is.

Tim is neutered, vetted, fully vaccinated and chipped. His adoption fee is $350.
