ADPTED.
This is Skyla, a 3-year-old Great Dane. She was living in a home with 2 other Great Danes. Owner let her get pregnant and she had puppies, and since then she does not get along with the other female Dane in the house, so the owners decided to rehome Skyla.

Skyla is house-trained, current on vaccinations and now spayed. She is good with people and children. She loves going for walks and car ride. She understands “wait”, “no”, “food”, “treat”, “sit”, and sometimes “stay”. She loves being with her “humans” and, like a typical Dane, enjoys her naps. It’s best if Skyla is the only dog in the household, as she tends to have issues with other adult females.

If interested in giving Skyla a new home, please go to our website and fill out the adoption application. www.pawsofaustin.org

FOREVER FAMILY NEEDED

Meet Wally — a gentle, majestic Great Dane who’s ready for a fresh start. He was found wandering near a busy street in Los Angeles, CA, alongside two Aussie puppies, and spent a month in a crowded shelter before a new foster family stepped in. He was transported from California to a foster home in Magnolia Texas, where is staying until we could find him a new loving home.

Wally has the tall, lean build of an American Great Dane with Euro facial features - minus the drool! He is about 3 years old, has just gotten neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. He is potty trained, and uses a doggy door like a pro. He really enjoys being close to his people — he’ll happily follow you from room to room and rest his head in your lap, a typical Velcro Dane.

Austin, TX
Needs a new home.

This is Rosita, aka Sita, aka Rosie. She has very unique blue tanpoint markings. At first, we thought she may be mixed with a Mastiff, but genetic DNA test shows that she is 100% great Dane.

Rosita is a little over a year old and she is very sweet and playful. Her size and rough playing was too much for her family, mostly because they have two small todlers in the house. They sent her to training, but it did not make her calmer. It was too much for them, so they moved Rosita to the barn, but knowing it’s about to get hot outside, the owner reached out to the rescue, and of course I took her.

Rosita is spayed and current on vaccinations. She also had gastropexy surgery to prevent a bloat. She’s been to training and previous owner used a shock collar. She is house broken and crate trained. She loves toys, running outside and playing with other dogs.

If you are looking for a sweet, fun, playful, loving dog, and you have another big dog who likes to run and play, please consider giving Rosita a new home For adoption application go to our website www.pawsofaustin.org

BREAKING FROM THE CHAINS!

Meet Bruce, a gentle giant rescued from being tied on a 3ft chain in Bastrop County. Thanks to Bastrop County Animal Services, he's now on his way to PAWS of Austin Great Dane Rescue.

BCAS took good care of Bruce while in their custody. They got him treated him for Hookworms and gave him lots of good food to help him gain 10 lbs. But there's more work to be done... Bruce has Heartworms, which will require an expensive HW treatment.

Can you help us give Bruce the second chance he deserves and free him from the deadly parasites. Every donation counts!

This is Sookie. She is a sweet blue merle Great Dane. She came to us from the Dorothy H. O'Connor shelter in Victoria. She is current on all vaccinations, HW Neg., spayed and microchipped.

Sookie is a very sweet, loving, well mannered dog. Someone spent time training her. She knows basic commands and responds to corrections. Sookie is fully house broken. She loves to cuddle on the couch, she walks well on a leash and is great riding in the car. She is good around other dogs outside the house, but when in the house she collects all the stuffed toys and she protects them as if they are her babies. It may be because she was recently in heat or was pregnant prior to being spayed.

Sookie is ready for a new loving forever home. Unlike some Dane that must have a back yard, Sookie will do OK in an apartment, as long as she gets to go to a park to run and play.

This is Legend. He is a big brindle Great Dane. He was in a home with 6 kids. Previous family used him for breeding. In fact, a year and a half a go we got 3 of their puppies. We offered to take Legend, but the owner did not want to surrender him to us. They gave him away to someone else and a year later he ended up in the shelter. The family took him back from the shelter, and surprisingly, the shelter released him still intact. Unable to provide Legend with the food and care he needs, the owner contacted us and we took Legend. He is now in a foster home waiting for his appointment to be neutered. Once that is done, Legend will be ready for his new forever home.

Beside being a great looking dog, Legend has a great personality. He is a very sweet loving dog. Great around kids, good with other dogs and does not mind cats. So all you cat owners, here is your chance to own a Great Dane.
