Rocky's Story

Hello!! My name is Rocky. I am a 2 year old Purebred Great Dane. I was dumped by my owner and Rhodie's Rescue saved me from the dangerous highway and fields I was roaming. My life hasn't been great, until now. I was very skinny and unhealthy and distrusting of humans...but now, since being in my foster home, I am at my best weight, healthy and super happy....so it's now time for me to find my forever family who will keep this way for life!! I am about 120 lbs of big, goofy and playful guy! I love being around my humans and I love to be hugged and kissed...I have the 'Great Dane lean' down to a tee!! I like to play fetch and when I get excited I do play bows and jumpy spins as best as I can! Like most Great Danes I have no idea of my size and I think I'm a lap dog...I'm still trying to figure out how to gracefully manuvear my big body around the house, so my tail may accidentally clear a table or leave a whip mark on your leg! My most favorite thing is really hanging out with my people, being loved on and eating!! I have pretty ice blue eyes, I see fine but can sometimes lose tracking with distance. I do squint in the sun as it is very bright for my light eyes. I am working on my leash skills and getting better, I'm also pretty good at staying close by off leash and have good recall. I am house trained....I do not like crates but I am fine in a kennel. I will do best with someone who is not away from home for long hours...A work from home or stay at home situation would be best for me. Did I mention I'm good with other dogs??!! No cat experience. For safety, children should be over 8 years of age due to my size and lack of exposure to children. ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: *Experience with Great Danes and/or Extra large breed dogs is preferred *Proof of pet insurance at the time of adoption *Home ownership (no condos/townhouses/apartments) *Attached yard with secure 6' fencing ROCKY'S adoption fee is $1000 which includes: *full health examination including blood work, urinalysis, fecal testing *Current Vaccines *Neuter *Gastropexy *microchip *flea and deworming treatments

Rhodie's Rescue's Adoption Policy

WE DO NOT DO LONG DISTANCE (SOUTH CALIF) OR OUT OF STATE ADOPTIONS You must be 21 years or older to adopt. Please bring a valid form of I.D. All members of the family must be present in order to adopt. We want to make sure it's a good fit for everyone! Applications must be completed and approved for each dog prior to adopting. We do not adopt our dogs on a “first come, first serve” basis. We place our dogs with the best matched family according to their specific needs and personalities. You must provide pictures of your backyard (including fences, gates and latches) along with the areas will the dog will eat and sleep. Some dogs may require a home visit prior to adoption. If you are planning on adopting a dog and already have an existing dog, we ask that you leave them at home when attending our adoption event. Once you're application has been approved to adopt a specific dog, you can schedule an appointment for a meet and greet at your home with your potential new pet. Renters must provide a copy of their lease (including pet policy) and duration of lease. Homeowners should know if their home insurance policy has breed restrictions/exclusions, and be familiar with any HOA by-laws regarding dogs. Townhome/Condominium owners should be familiar with their HOA by-laws, including restricted breeds, weight limits, and maximum number of pets allowed. All dogs will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped prior to adoption. We make our best effort to treat any medical conditions deemed necessary, unless it is out of our financial reach or not in the best interest of the dog at the time. At which point we will disclose and discuss any known medical issues or conditions that will need to be addressed with the potential adopter prior to adoption. Most of our dogs are rescued from shelters or neglectful situations and we have either limited or no knowledge of their health background or behavioral background. Although we have our dogs checked by veterinarians, and we do our best to evaluate and determine any behavioral issues, we cannot guarantee the dog you adopt will be free of any current or future health or behavioral problems. Adopters must be willing to allow a Rhodie’s representative to make a follow-up contact, either in person or by phone. If at any time you are unable to keep the pet or offer it proper care, it must be offered back to Rhodie’s before alternate arrangements are made. If approved, an applicant must sign a contract to adopt a dog which outlines the responsibilities of the rescue and the adopter. This contract is legally binding. If any information provided by the adopter is found to be false, misleading or purposefully omitted, on either the application or during interview with Rhodie’s Representatives, will be cause for denial of adoption and/or removal of the dog from your home, regardless of when or how the information was discovered.
