Varys a handsome young dane full of energy and snuggles! Lots of play time, training and love are all that’s needed. He seems to like everyone he meets, can be shy at first but he always warms up quickly. Always happy to be included when others come over to visit. There will be zoomies.
Loves his toys, treats and naps and of course meal time. Will need more training but knows the basics. This boy still has lots of puppy in him and oh so sweet.
UPDATE:
Varys has been in rescue for a few months. His training has improved tremendously since arriving. He will need someone that is willing to continue the training that has been started. Varys is a smart sweet boy who needs a human to call his own.

We are a day late…but let’s be honest, National Dog Day is every day! We are lucky to meet some amazing pups and have our hearts open to such amazing love. Share your dogs below in the comments that you celebrate National Dog Day with…every day! 😉
Happy National Dog Day to a breed that we love and hope we can continue to make a difference and help those that need us. 💚
Let us introduce you to some puppies! First before we go into details let us start by saying these adorable babies are NOT available for adoption just yet. We are currently working through their medical needs. A few of them came with some nasty parasites and bugs. We have to get them up to date on vaccines and when the time comes spay and neuter them.
Taking five puppies on as a rescue is an expensive adventure. Each puppy will cost the rescue around $1000 a piece. We could use some help. If you are able to donate any amount would help. You can make a donation through our website. When you do make sure to note that it is for the puppies.
As we get to know these sweet babies we will post highlights on each. Can anyone guess where their names came from?!? 😉 If you know it post it in the comments below!
As always please share, like and comment on this post to help us spread the word.
https://foreverfriendsgdri.com/donate/
We have some new pups in the house! We are excited to share more but for now they are getting comfy and for some continuing their medical treatments. We are not accepting applications just yet but will share more about these sweet pups soon!
As always a big 🅣🅗🅐🅝🅚 🅨🅞🅤 to our foster homes! We are lucky to have each one of you. If you are interested in fostering head to our website for more information or send us a message!

Hi, I am Tesla. I came into rescue when my family couldn’t afford the surgery I needed. I had a blockage in my stomach. It was full of leaves and sticks. The kind vet who took me in did surgery to clean out my stomach, then she tacked it and spayed me. The vet then called FFGDRI and here I am looking for a new home.
I am 2 yrs old. My foster mom calls me a pocket Dane. I am not sure what that means but I weigh 93lbs. I am good with other large dogs and cats. I love to run, chase, and play tug with my foster siblings. They are Danes too but much bigger. It doesn’t stop me. I am brave. I would do well to have other fur siblings in my new home. I am good in my crate when she goes to work and I sleep on a dog bed all night free in the house when my foster family is home. Do you need a new friend? I can’t wait to find my forever home.

May the Force Be with You Always! Do you have a Dane or pup with Yoda Ears?!? This is FFGDR Alum Tilly showing off her ears. It is uncanny the similarities 😉 Share a picture in the comments of your Yoda Ears. 💚
Will you consider opening your home to a pup in need? If you follow other rescues and shelters you know that most are full and it is a constant rotation of dogs and cats in need. This situation is a sad one that is found all over the country. We are in desperate need of foster homes. Since we do not have a physical building we rely on people like you to open your homes to help find forever homes for great danes. We are getting daily requests for surrenders and from pups found on the streets.
If you think you might want to help or become a foster home please reach out to us or go to our website for more information and to fill out an application. If you have questions or would like to chat with one of our volunteers please reach out to us through direct messages. Here is a message from one of our current foster homes:
"People often say to me, 'I couldn't foster. I'd want to keep them all and it'd be too sad.' Well, that's all true in my experience. I've shed a few tears and been sad to see them leave my home. But it is exceptionally rewarding and heartwarming to see them with their new family who loves them just as much, and probably more, than I do. I also get to really love a lot of dogs this way." -Alicia B. Current foster Mom to Delilah

As Great Dane owners we know what it is like to have a big goofy head blocking the sun. It happens daily. 😉 Be safe today and keep your pets safe too by keeping them inside and away from windows. 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕

Hi everyone,
Apollo here, just wanted to say hi to everyone!!!! I’m a 9 month old puppy, and came into my foster dad’s house with very few rules. He’s getting me to behave better and I don’t bark at leaves blowing through the yard any more, but I will let you (and anyone close by) know if someone is walking in front of my house. I’m also not great on a leash yet, so I’d probably do best in a single family home with a fenced in backyard. I’ve met the neighbors 6yr old daughter and she’s fun and we get along, but if I get super excited I’d totally bowl her over and win $100,000 on American’s Funniest Home Videos. So I just need to be supervised around the little ones.
I live in a house with 3 other dogs ranging from a Frenchie up to another Great Dane and we all get along, sometimes my craziness will earn a growl or bark from another doggo and I back off, but I love getting in the backyard and running, jumping, sniffing around and using up some energy. Dad says a tired puppy is a good puppy.
When my humans leave I stay on the upstairs landing with my Frenchie brother. The area is gated off and I have a wide range of toys to chew and play with so I’m good. I’ll be super happy crazy puppy when you come back home though and after a few crazy U-Turns I’ll want to go outside. I’ve had a few accidents in the house, but they were accidents. Some of them I was trying to tell dad I needed to go out and he just didn’t get the message and 1-2 at the beginning was just learning the new routine.
If you have anymore questions I’m sure my foster
