Meet Blu & Chance – A Bonded Pair of Gentle Giant Great Danes Looking for Their Forever Home
It is with a very heavy heart that I am looking for a new home for my two beloved Great Danes, Blu and Chance. Due to a recent change in my family situation and the difficulty of finding housing that will allow two Great Danes, I am forced to make a decision I never imagined having to make. My greatest hope is to find a loving home where they can stay together and enjoy the attention, companionship, and space they deserve.
Blu is a 7-year-old neutered male Great Dane (Merle coloring – gray and black). He is calm, affectionate, and the definition of a gentle giant. Blu loves being close to his people and would happily spend his day curled up next to someone on the couch. While he enjoys companionship, he is also content relaxing on his own. He loves stuffed animals (though they rarely survive for long!) and is known for his goofy personality and loving nature.
Blu can be a little skittish with unfamiliar people. When nervous, he may bark and try to hide behind his person, but he has never been aggressive. In the past, he did very well at dog parks and around other dogs, though he has not had much exposure to dogs outside of Chance in recent years. He loves to run and can move surprisingly fast for such a big boy, occasionally forgetting just how large he is.
Chance will be 7 years old on August 14. He is a neutered male Great Dane with a beautiful tan coat. Chance came to us as a rescue when he was six months old and has been part of our family ever since. He is affectionate, cuddly, and loves to tuck his head under your arm for comfort and attention.
Chance has a little more energy than Blu and enjoys playing outdoors. He can be goofy and playful, especially when excited. He is very attached to Blu and becomes anxious when separated from him. Because of their strong bond, I truly believe they should remain together if at all possible.
Both dogs are good with children, though due to their size I would recommend a home with older children. They have never intentionally hurt anyone, but they can accidentally knock over younger children simply because they are large dogs who don’t always realize their own size.
Neither dog has lived with cats, but they have been around outdoor cats and have never shown a prey drive or aggressive behavior toward them.
Both dogs are neutered and have had preventative gastropexy (“stomach tacking”) performed. Nail trims are not their favorite activity and can be a challenge. They are currently not up to date on vaccines due to financial circumstances. They have done well on a salmon and sweet potato-based diet and have previously been maintained on flea and tick prevention.
Like many Great Danes, both boys enjoy making themselves comfortable and unfortunately have a habit of tearing up beds, blankets, and cushions while nesting. It’s one of their less charming habits, but it comes from their determination to create the perfect sleeping spot.
Most importantly, Blu and Chance are loving, loyal companions who simply want to be near their people. They deserve a home where they can receive the time, attention, exercise, and affection that I am no longer able to provide due to life circumstances. They still have so much love to give and many happy years ahead of them.
Finding the right home is far more important to me than finding a quick home. If you are interested in welcoming these two gentle giants into your family, please reach out. They have been deeply loved their entire lives, and I hope to find someone who will love them just as much
Also I thought they were turning 8, I was wrong they are both turning 7. Well Blu 7 as of yesterday and chance 7 in August.
Also the part about there beds and ripping them up is only while someone is not around.
Flea medication that worked well was Cradilleo (sp) but I'm sure they would do OK with just anything.
If interested, you must call the owner. Please do NOT leave messages on this post.

We are looking for a new home for our beloved Great Dane. Gus is 5ish years old and LOVES attention. He loves butt scratches and to run, but he also is okay with being left alone and just sleeping on the couch. He is netured and UTD. He is very good with kids. Very good with other dogs, but can be reactive to pushy ones. Gus is a very special dude, and due to personal reasons we need to downsize from 4 dogs. FMI (207)-458-6105

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST. I'M GETTING MESSAGES WITH QUESTIONS AND THE POST CLEARLY SAYS I AM DOING THE OWNER A FAVOR. YOU MUST TALK TO THE OWNER!!

ATTN: I do not know this dog. I'm simply advertising her because she needs a new home. All questions should be addressed to the phone number attached to this bio. She is in Maine and is spayed.
Beautiful black and white 9-month-old female Great Dane needing a home. She is healthy and up to date with all vaccines and requirements, she is just too much for our large family with small children. Our vet has said she has an alpha personality. We have put a lot of time, love and training into her, and we feel that she could be an amazing dog and want her to go to a wonderful loving home. We think she would do best with an experienced owner, and maybe not such a large family, so she is secure with her place and not constantly challenging the order. Navah also rides well in our SUV. She enjoys going for drives, she looks out the window for a while and then will lay down and nap. She has been trained on a Herms Sprenger collar, which has revolutionized our walks. She walks beautifully with it and definitely enjoys her outings. She also gets treated with high quality chicken meat on the walks, which she loves. Navah does seem to need lots of walks and ways to expel her energy. She is intelligent and we try to find ways to mentally engage her, as well. If she was not so set on getting her way, such as during training sessions, she would be very quick learning. We take her through Tractor Supply Company once in a while, as well. She does pretty well, but I always have the Herms Sprenger collar on so she will not pull and we can lead her. Again, she is timid, but does not show aggression.
We work on the basic commands frequently and have a lot of house rules pertaining to her training to help keep her in her place and teach her boundaries and manners.
We have a very busy household with children of all ages, and as soon as the older children or adult leave the room, she will try to either dominate over some of the younger children, or try to get away with a something she is not supposed to have.
She needs an experienced owner who is willing to give her the attention she needs and continue obedience training to help her learn her place. Our phone number is 207-267-5845 or 207-694-8871

LUNA HAS BEEN ADOPTED

COURTSEY POST: Please contact the person listed if you have questions or want more information

Luna is a senior girl, she'll be 8 yrs old in October. I haven't met her but she sounds like a typical senior, ready to spend her life in a quiet retirement home. Her family has a baby which has made her realize life is not quiet with a baby and although she's NOT threatening or aggressive towards the baby or anyone else, she is anxious about the commotion a baby makes in any home.

That said, Luna will not be adopted to a home with children because she would love to live out her life in a quiet environment. Please don't apply if you have the quietest little sweethearts in the whole wide world 😁 Young, high energy dogs wouldn't be a good fit for the same reason.

She's spayed (or I wouldn't be advertising her), she's good with other dogs (which makes ME want her because senior dogs are my love but 6 dogs are too many), being an older dog she does have some "traction" issues and slippery floors might be an issue (although yoga mat "rugs" are perfect for this), she still enjoys her walks and has zoomies in the yard, she has no food allergies, recently had a cyst removed from her eye with no follow-up issues, was used for breeding in her younger years (before her current owners rescued her), loves to ride and sounds like the perfect gal to me.

Don't let her age deter you, my feeling has always been that senior dogs move in, unpack and are forever grateful. I adore them
