DJ is a two year old American Bulldog who came to us from a small shelter where he starred as a staff favorite - and for good reason.  He is the cutest little 70lb wiggle-butt, loves snuggles, and is exceptionally polite with a gentleman's disposition.  He is working on his basic commands and walks calmly on a leash.   He does show interest in small plastic toys (from the kids) but is easily corrected and has discontinued the behavior.  He will need a secure backyard so he doesn't try exercise his escape artist thrills once again!      He is excellent with other dogs and children of all ages.  He would love a family who is looking for a good cuddle.  He stays off the furniture (but would love to be invited on the couch...) He doesn't have any food aggression and while he would love to steal his foster brother's food, he is easily corrected and won't try to take it when you're in the room!  He is kenneled easily but may not need it once he learns the lay of the land in his new home.  Come meet this sweet boy and fall in love! show less

Havock is a super sweet 4 year old neutered male Great Dane. He has been around farm animals and pays them no mind. He loves to play with other dogs both big and small. Havock is also good around cats. He is house and crate trained. He does pull a little on the leash. Anyone would LOVE to have this stunning boy in their family!🤍 Havock is currently HW+ and is on medication to correct this.  Heartworms are not contagious from dog to dog. They are transported through heartworm infected mosquitos. Prevention is vital.  When they aren't on prevention they risk being heartworm positive because of being bitten by an infected mosquito. It takes 6 months to test positive. If your dogs are on prevention and bitten by an infected mosquito, the prevention protects the dog from heartworms developing. show less

Meet Miah! Hi! I was picked up as a stray and brought to a shelter. I was previously microchipped so I am about 3.5 years old and a Great Dane/Cane Corso mix. They took good care of me there. I spent just over 1 month there before Giant Heart picked me up. I have been with my foster family for about 1 month. It took me about 2 weeks to really become comfortable. Now I feel like I’m a part of this family. I get lots of exposure with kids and dogs. There are a lot of dogs and I do get along with all of them. I’ve been around big dogs and small dogs. I’m a good eater as well. I do eat from an elevated feeder because my legs are so long. I do not live with cats currently so I don’t know what I would think of them.  I absolutely love my humans. I greet my foster mom every morning before she gets out of bed. I will try to steel all the love as well. I like to be pet and loved on.  I am fully potty trained and if I need anything I will bark at you and let you know. I can be crated. I do best in a wire crate but my foster family leaves me out a lot. I am not destructive and do not get into things.  Here is my story. I will need a home with minimal exercise. I might need to have brothers or sisters that are slower and more lazy because I do love to play but should take it easy. The reason is I have a torn CCL (back leg ligament).  Many dogs live with this without repairing it, some do better with repair. I do really well. I do limp sometimes with over use. I also sit funny a lot. At this time we don’t plan on sending me through surgery and rehab. We feel I will do just fine without and do better not trying to rehab and heal. Having me on joint supplements, good dog food and minimal to moderate exercise as well as keeping me lighter will help significantly. I’m on pain medication as well but hoping to come off of it at some point.  Overall I’m a gem with a bum knee. I am a special girl who really wants to please. If you have it in your heart and feel I would be a good match for you let the rescue know. I can’t wait to find a furever home to lay my head at every night. My foster family loves me and feels I’m such a good girl. show less

Hi! I’m Tigger, a 1.5 year old brindle Great Dane. If you’re looking for a 130lb cuddle buddy to keep you warm this winter, I’m your guy. I’ve had basic obedience training and know how to sit, stay, and go lay down. In my short life, I’ve already had 2 homes, at no fault of my own, but hopefully 3rd times the charm. This has left me with a bit of anxiety and I tend to attach to my owner quickly, but that’s just because I don’t want you to leave me! I would benefit from a Dane - savy owner who understands I’m more than just a good lookin dude, I’m still a big puppy that needs stability, continued training, and established boundaries. I’m very treat motivated and a smart boy, so training will be a breeze. I am good with dogs, cats, and kiddos. I’ve lived with dogs and kids, and currently in a foster home with a cat. But, I’m a big boy still learning my size so watch out little ones. I love going for walks and getting my zoomies out in the back yard. I’ll even play ball with myself. Pretty sure they named me Tigger for the hops I get when I’m excited running around. I’m just a big boy looking for my furever home, could that be you? Tigger is being fostered in Virginia Beach, VA. If you're interested in adopting Tigger please fill out an application application which can be found on our website: giantheartsdogrescue.com/adoption-application show less

Meet Zeus! He is a 2 year old Neopolitan mastiff. Zeus is all puppy and working on manners. He is currently in a board and train program to help him learn a little self control and good canine manners. Zeus is a sweet boy who loves all people, doesn't mind farm animals, does great for dog baths,  and is working on his dog intro manners. He is a bull in a china shop and just does not know how to read another dog's cues. The trainer is working on this with him and hoping to get him a little more social with other dogs. Zeus can be out in public on leash, he corrects very well and can see other dogs, he just gets jumpy and playful (over boisterous) getting close to other dogs. He has not shown aggression, just truly has NO idea how to be with other dogs and doesn't read the cue if the other dog doesn't like his energy. Zeus is a big boy so he needs a family that will continue to work with him, understands the Neo breed, and continue to socialize him. He is crate trained, gets excited to see you, is neutered and up to date on vaccines. Zeus is a really big boy, so him being able to be with children will depend on the family. This will be evaluated prior to approving his adoption. His adoption fee is $400.  show less

Meet Zilla, a 2 year old English mastiff, spayed and up to date on vaccines, as well as, house and crate trained. She’s healthy, spunky, and looking for her forever home.   Zilla is currently working with a trainer at Anchor Up K9 Academy to work on her social skills and confidence.    Zilla is great with children and adults, she loves meeting new people, but she prefers to have attention all to herself and would do best as an only dog. She is incredibly loving, playful, and well-mannered. She is still very much still a puppy and needs a home where she can continue to build confidence. Previous mastiff experience preferred. show less
