Cleo
Adopted October 2005
The rescue gave me my heart dog 10/15/2005. She was 5 months old and I had her until she was 12. She saw me through some big life changes which only strengthened our bond. Because the rescue gave me such a gift, I chose to start fostering a few months after cleo passed. Ironically, I got my first foster EXACTLY 12 years after they gave me Cleo:10/15/17. I think Cleo had a hand(paw) in that!

Nika
November 2015
You matched me with Nika (formerly Echo) in November 2015. She was my first Dane and man did she grace us with every bit of personality! She also was the best thing for my soul. Instant connection and she knew when I was sad, or happy, or stressed. She would give me just the right attention I needed. Unfortunately, her arthritis progressed quickly in the end and she had to leave us 11/05/19. The best 4 years I could've asked for with her and still miss her so bad!

Eloise "Wezzy"
Adopted April 2019
Eloise was one of 5 pups born in rescue 2/12/19. She came home with us at 8 weeks old on 04/12/19.
It had been 15 years since I have had a true puppy. I was ready for a sleepless weekend thinking the pup would be missing Momma. But, is was just fine. She was comfortable being in the kennel and only whimpered to go out potty. She has continued to be good about crate time. All on all, she is a good girl! Loves everyone and all the other dogs.
She is a daddies girl for sure. She is self confident and not bothered by much.
She is about 110 pounds. 100% full on puppy that loves playing and is learning her role in the house hold...just like any teen she is trying to establish her own power. She is the princess of our home.

Willow & Elora
Adopted March 2019
Willow & Elora. Also known as "the twins". I volunteered to do the transport on their litter. They were 6 months old & called dibs on Willow, sight unseen. After dropping the other pups off at fosters, my hubby decided we needed to take Elora home too. Elora was born blind & deaf. Even though Willow is deaf & vision impaired, he takes such good care of his sister!

Zoey and Porter
Adopted 2012
My two Dane kids were adopted from AZ Great Dane Rescue. The Harl (Zoey) has since passed but the Mantle (Porter) is still with us and an amazing big brother to our Frenchton and young son.
Zoey (Que) was adopted out at a year old in 2009 after being found covered in ticks running free with other Harlequin Danes in Pinal county.
Porter (Sam I Am) was a foster failure when we took him in to help Linda out, in 2012. He was 5-6 weeks old (sold too early by a backyard breeder) and surrendered to the rescue. He’s doing amazingly with his little sister, Indie.

Smokey
Adopted June 2019
Smokey’s father had passed away and his mother was too feeble to care for him. Linda had posted Smokey on her page and I had contacted her about Smokey. I have always had Great Danes and Mastiffs, I love the big guys and girls. I just lost my Neo Mastiff boy to cancer and I have a 12 year old female Great Dane who loves the big guys too, so Smokey was our perfect match. I adopted Smokey 6 months ago and he fits perfectly into our family!!!!! Smokey is a Blue Merle and will be 8 years young in February but acts like a Great Dane puppy. Smokeys favorite things to do are sitting on mamas lap, playing with his stuffed platypus, chewing on his marrow bones and taking himself for walks. I couldn’t imagine Smokey not being in my world because he is my world!
Thank you Linda for Smokey and what you do for these big babies

Delilah
Adopted January 2016
My greatest love and heartbreak came into my life via the rescue. She was a H.O.D.s survivor.
From day one Delilah, formally know as Bentley, and I had each others heart. She and I were each other's everything. We had three good years together... time at the Dog Park, Road Trips to the White Mountains, Festivals and Farmers Markets. Wherever she went, she was the star of the show. She was a big beautiful shiny 135 pound girl. She gave the sweetest kisses and was the most hilarious back talker. My girl had personality and additude.
Late January 2019 she suddenly begain haveing uncontrollable seizures. I lost my girl 01/31/19 and I have been grieving since.

Pongo
Adopted September 2016
Pongo was emaciated, is now a loved member of Elizabeth’s family!
We adopted Pongo from a Arizona Great Dane Alliance of AZ in September 2016 at the age of 10 months. We had only been in our new home for less than a week but knew when I saw Pongo on Facebook we had to have him. I submitted our application and Linda called to give us more information and setup a in home visit within 2 days of submitting the app.
We fell in love with Pongo the minute he walked into the house and leaned in for some lovin’. Pongo was a big goofball and even chased a butterfly and jumped into our pool on his visit! My husband swiftly grabbed onto his collar and got him to the step and out of the pool, pretty sure it scared us all with the big splash!
Backstory: Pongo was brought into the rescue at 6 months old, he was originally purchased from Animal Kingdom and was a puppy mill puppy. He had an umbilical hernia and parvo as a young pup, mange and then had owners that did not understand giant breed dogs and he was severely malnourished and under fed.
I wasn’t truly aware of the prior state he was in when we adopted him at 10 months old, Pongo was also our first Dane.
Pongo is now 3 years old! He is this handsome, happy, healthy, energetic, lovable pup and a total mommas boy! He gives the best hugs! Pongo now has a Dane sister that was given to us from a friend and they are best friends! I can’t imagine our lives without Pongo in it! Truly an amazing dog!

Nolie
Adopted May 2018
I started fostering to honor Cleo. I told linda my goal was to find the right dog for me, then continue to foster. I started fostering Nolie in April. While she was always sweet, it wasn’t an instant connection. But every time I took her out, people commented on how good she was. One day Linda posted her all over FB as available and I panicked. It was the push this chick needed! Nolie was found with her “sister “ honey up north. They were dumped by their byb. Honey gave birth a few days after coming I to rescue( she and her pups all have homes!). Nolie went from trash to treasure! She is an excellent ambassador for the breed and the rescue, doing lots of events and soaking up the love!

Xena

I was the one who picked Ivy (now Xena) up from good samaritans. She was so emotionally broken. She would not get out of my car at the rescue. She had been banished to a kennel 23 hours/day. But...LOOK AT HER NOW! She’s training to be a service dog! And look how excited she is to go to training! I will always remember how broken she was, so seeing this brings me happy tears!!!

Bocelli
Adopted January 2020
The BEST part of today was this. Bocelli went into a foster to adopt! They lost their dane about 2 months ago. They told me they’ve been watching him from afar for some time. Tiffany welled up with happy tears when she met him. The look they gave each other made me know it was a good match. And her husband, John, was beaming with joy just seeing her so happy! I have good feeling that this will transition to “adoption “ soon! HUGE thanks to his foster, Trevor, who put Bocelli on the right path to trusting humans again. Bo used to not be good with men. But he sought and received attention from everyone at the event! Days like this make me so happy!

This is my “Aria” I adopted her from the Alliance in April 2016. She saved me from so much pain and heartache, after the loss of my German Shepherd of 14 years. She has been one of the most special blessings ever bestowed upon me. She is the sweetest most loving easy to care for easy to please low maintenance sweetheart anyone could ever ask for. I love her dearly and I’m so grateful and always will be to the Great Dane rescue of Arizona alliance. And most of all Linda Davis, for making sure that even though I had to go out of town right at adoption time, held her for me until I returned. Thank you all so much!

Adele
Aopted September 2018
This is Adele. She came into my life on September 7th 2018 (her pic is from her gotcha birthday 2019) . I decided to foster shortly after losing my girl. When she came to the house on that day I asked what the heck did I get myself into. It was a rough few weeks learning each other's boundaries. I kept telling people I wasn't going to adopt, I just lost my girl and I couldn't adopt a senior dane for fear of heart break. A few months passed of fostering and realized she developed a tumor, big and fast. My heart ached for her, but I knew I wasn't going to let her pass on not being adopted, so I adopted her and tried to give her the best chance and paid for her surgery. We got lucky it was benign. Now 1 year and 8 months later she is still here, still my best friend, and about 8-10 years old.
