Sweet 4 month old Great Dane puppies, Sandy (F), Sunny (F) and Sailor (M) visited our fantastic friends at New Shackle Island Veterinary Hospital to get start on their vaccines and dewormer before they head up to their foster homes in Hanover PA & Wi******er VA.

If you're interested in adopting one of these sweet puppies, get your application pre approved. As of right now, they'll REQUIRE a physical fence due to no exposure to leash walking. Due to health, safety, and disturbance concerns, LFAR does not place puppies in apartments, townhomes, or properties with community dog walking areas. Only adopters with private yards will be approved. We do NOT adopt littermates due to risk of littermate syndrome as well as each puppy deserving full focus of their families as they learn manners and basic obedience.

They are puppies. They are Great Dane puppies so they will get big. Fast! Don't let their cuteness fool you. They'll need continued work on housebreaking and crate training. They'll need to work on manners. They'll chew on things. They'll have accidents in the house.

You can view our requirements, age based adoption fees and fill out an adoption application at https://www.luckyfarmsrescue.org/adoption

If you'd like to donate towards their vet care, we would greatly appreciate your assistance. We could not help deserving dogs like these puppies without your support.

🎙️We currently have ZERO applications for them.
⚠️⚠️Please don’t mistake a lot of comments on a post, interest on a post or even several people saying they will apply or did apply as the dog surely going to be adopted. Sadly most people don’t follow through. Many don’t actually apply and many of those that do don’t meet the rescue’s requirements (history of keeping pets UTD on core vaccines and dogs UTD on yearly heartworm testing and prevention) or they failed to read the dog’s bio and meet the dog’s needs.

These 9 amazing pups are looking for wonderful families. If you’re looking to add a furry family member, check these pups out!!

They’re in foster homes in TN GA AL NC OH WV VA PA. We do adopt nationwide but in most cases require adopters to travel to the foster home with their current dog/dogs (to ensure they will be friends) to pick up.

**We are mainly a giant breed rescue (Great Danes and Saint Bernards). And we have a squishy face division (English and French Bulldogs).

Winston is a sweet, silly fella who loves pretty much everyone he meets as far as humans go. This little bowling ball on four legs can be quite demanding about getting attention and could knock a small child or someone with balance issues over. He prefers laid back female canines and he’s pretty good to tolerate dog savvy felines. Although he gets along well with other dogs and some cats, he would prefer a home with fewer animals than his foster home has so he can be the center of attention. His favorite things in life are naps, snacks and snuggles. Winston is a low key kind of guy but does enjoy barking at things with his foster sisters, greeting the neighbors as they come and go, working on his tan when it’s not too hot outside, cooling his belly on the wood floors, and roaming the fenced in yard with his girls. He sleeps about 90% of the day, but nothing motivates him quite like a milk bone (or chicken nugget) and a belly rub. He loves to sleep in his crate, in your bed or on the couch for naps, but will put himself to bed in his crate every night. His bedtime is 10:30 p.m. and he sleeps through the night 99% of the time. He’s not a morning person, unlike his foster sisters. He likes to sleep in most days and most mornings he has to be coaxed out of his crate to go out for his morning potty break. Although Winston sleeps most of the day, he does prefer to have someone home most of the day. He will stand/sit/lay in front of the door when he wants out and will give a warning bark to signal he needs out, but if you don’t see or hear him he may have an accident. Winston only has one eye and is losing vision in the remaining eye. Due to his vision impairment, he tends to bump into things and can confuse inanimate objects for other animals, etc. and may bark at them. Due to this impairment it is also recommended that he not be in a home with smaller children. He will require eye drops the rest of his life. He does well with taking his eye drops although he isn’t a fan. He is prone to dry skin on his nose and absolutely loves getting his “lotion” (bag balm) put on his nose! He has wonderful leash manners and does well on car rides. He loves to be wherever his humans are but tends to stay wherever his crate is (near the door used for potty breaks and within steps of his food/water bowls). Don’t let his “shortcomings” fool you though, this senior boy is a 100% certified good boy!

Winston is UTD on vet care, vaccines and preventatives. Due to age and risks that come with surgery, he is not neutered. He is currently being fostered in Beckley, WV. We are willing to assist with transport for the right family. Out of respect for our foster family's time and privacy, we do NOT arrange meet and greet without an approved application on file. His adoption fee is $200. If you’re interested in adopting Winston, you can view our requirements and fill out an adoption application at https://www.luckyfarmsrescue.org/adoption

I get asked frequently why I don't use the word "no". "No" may fall out of your mouth. It falls out of mine from time to time too. That's okay. We're human. Try to put your focus on what you would like your dog to do and pause your reaction.

Got questions about training or behavior?
Ask them! We don't bite 😊

I used to believe in this myth: Good dogs don't bite under any circumstances.
But then I realized that dogs have every right to speak up to protect themselves. They need our support so they don't FEEL THE NEED to bite.

How can we support them?
The best strategy is to learn to understand their body language. Bites rarely come from "out of nowhere" as some people think - but they tend to tell us they are unfomfortable WAY before they growl and bite.

Examples of dog body language that express discomfort:
- wide eyes
- ears back
- tail tucked
- jaw clenched tight
- looking away / averting their eyes

Not only do WE have to learn these signals, but we need to teach them to our kids as well.

I was a teacher for 16 years and love to help kids to learn these signals! Let me know if you or your kids would like to learn with me. I meet with you over video, so it doesn't matter where you live.

We have a similar nervous system, our brains fire the same way. We are exposed to similar emotional responses and have the same need for safety. Yet dogs are so often still expected to shut up and put up. Let's be a little gentler with the needs of our dogs shall we? We can help with that, drop us a line in the comments.

Comfort isn't just physical.
It's also emotional.
We can provide them with the coziest bed and the best food we can give them....but still not give them what they truly need.

Safety.

It is a fundamental need we all share and it can take many forms.

Being sheltered from too much noise and chaotic environments....that's one way we can give our dogs safety.
Routines bring security for many, but not all dogs.
For some, certain routines may cause anxiousness.

When dogs lack that feeling of safety and security, we need to look closer at how to support them through this.

Newly adopted dogs often feel deeply insecure in their new home.
We can help them settle by having a calmer home and limiting visitors who are bursting to see your new addition.

Cautionary note....
These can be shown for many reasons, not just when a dog feels unsafe.

Sometimes we need to look a little bit harder at why they feel the way they do.
