Butternut's Story

FOSTERED IN MOBILE, AL<br/>FENCE REQUIRED<br/><br/>Meet Butternut!<br/><br/>Butternut is a 4-month-old Great Dane mix who is pure happiness wrapped in a clumsy, puppy-sized package. She’s all love, all joy, and all tail wags—bringing sunshine wherever she goes.<br/><br/>Butternut came into the rescue as a newborn alongside her brothers and sisters when her mom, Blossom, was found roaming as a stray in Alabama. While many of her siblings have already found their forever homes, Butternut is still patiently waiting for hers—and anyone who meets her quickly understands what a special girl she is.<br/><br/>Like her brothers, Butternut is very much a typical puppy. She chews on everything, piddles with enthusiasm when excited (and even when not), and is still learning all the rules of being a polite house dog. She is crate trained (well, sorta) and doing well for her age, and with consistency and patience, she’ll continue to grow into a wonderful companion.<br/><br/>Butternut currently lives in a foster home with an infant, a toddler, and a senior female Great Dane named Maia—and she is absolutely fabulous with all of them. She is especially devoted to the baby, whom she adores beyond measure. Butternut insists on sleeping right next to her, always needing to touch her in some way, and happily snuggles whenever given the chance. Her gentle, loving nature truly shines in this environment.<br/><br/>When she’s not cuddling, Butternut can be found playing, exploring, or happily bouncing around with her signature joyful energy. She’s affectionate, sweet, and eager to be close to her people, making her an incredible family companion.<br/><br/>Butternut is looking for a loving home where she can continue to grow, learn, and share her boundless affection. A securely fenced yard is required so she can safely play and explore as she grows into her big paws.<br/><br/>Butternut is fully vetted, spayed, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $400. To read over the adoption requirements before applying to adopt Butternut, please visit www.nwflgdr.com/adopt.<br/><br/>Please note: NWFLGDR does not transport. All approved adopters are required to meet and pick up the dog in person from his or her foster parent’s home.

NW Florida Great Dane Rescue Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Our adoption requirements are as follows: 1. All Dogs and Cats in your home MUST be spayed or neutered. We will call your vet to verify this. We allow exceptions in rare medical instances upon verification with your vet only. 2. All Dogs and outdoor Cats in your home MUST be current and have been kept historically up to date on annual vaccinations and monthly (or semiannual) heartworm and flea prevention. We will call your vet to verify this. We allow exceptions to this in rare medical instances upon verification with your vet, ONLY. 3. You must be a minimum of 21 years of age to adopt and be able to prove you're financially able to care for a great dane should a medical emergency arise. 4. You must own the property in which you live or your landlord must be willing to verify that you are allowed to have a Great Dane in your rental home. We check property records.? 5. Our Great Danes require a sturdy fenced in yard, particularly young or active danes. Generally, a six-foot or higher privacy fencing is preferred. In certain circumstances, the Board may waive this requirement depending upon the Dane's personality and temperament. Any such exceptions will solely be at the discretion of the Rescue Board. Under no circumstances will we consider invisible or electric fencing as acceptable. 6. We only adopt Dogs as indoor pets. We will not adopt Dogs to be used as guard dogs or to be kept out-of-doors. 7. A home visit is required for ALL adoptions, without exception. This is not a white-glove inspection, rather it is to ensure that the home is a safe environment for the Great Dane. 8. We do not transport. If you are applying from out of area or out of state, understand that if your application gets approved, you will be expected to pick up the dane in the location that he/she is being fostered. In addition, if the adoption does not work out, it is your responsibility to bring the dane safely back to us. 9. There may be multiple applications for the same Dog. Our Great Danes are placed in the home we believe most suitable for them, based upon their individual needs and temperament. 10. Before applying below, please expect this application process to take about two weeks. If you are applying from out of area or state, please expect a slight delay. It will take us more time to get the home visit set up. At any time, if you have questions about the status of your application, please email the rescue at nwflgdr@gmail.com.
