Looking for a Home – Available Dogs
Many of the gentle giants that come into our rescue have been neglected or abused. Others have simply been abandoned by their owners due to a divorce, a new baby, moving, or natural disaster. We are often told that they got “too big” or “too expensive” and many of the dogs below come to us with very little training. Despite their past, rescue dogs are incredibly forgiving and very eager to please. They have so much to give and are all very special. We are looking for forever homes and permanent families who will love their new addition unconditionally and give them the love and support they need and deserve for the rest of their lives.

Looking for Lovie in all the wrong places? Well here she is, new to BDHPI with her mate, Blue.
Well Hello Blue, we’ve been waiting for you to join us here at BDHPI. You are a handsome, Merle, Great Dane, and you were so loved my your family that when hardships hit, they made the noble choice to not let you suffer, but instead made the sacrifice of releasing both you and your mate, Lovie, in hopes that your new lives would shine. They knew that you would be going to an amazing foster family and they were heartbroken to say goodbye. They
Drum Roll Please… .. …. …. .. ….
It’s my pleasure to introduce you to 
Hello, there! Nice to meet you. My name is Ruckus and I am a 1 year old, Red, Dogue de Bordeaux. The nice folks at BDHPI are my new heros! You see...I will admit, I was scared to death as I sat behind bars at a shelter where my days were numbered. I can't tell you the relief I felt when one of their volunteers came with a "get out of jail free" card.
My name is Nora and I was a victim of circomstances and my breeder/owner couldn't afford to take care of me.
Bella the female, 5.5 year old Harlequin Great Dane is looking for the home of her dreams.
In today’s world, it’s tough being the guy without seniority. Being a dog in a family is sometimes similar being an employee in the corporate world. It shouldn’t be, but it is. When you look for a job you have your resume in order… when you look for a family, your puppy profile does the speaking for you.
Meet our dear friend Mack! Our Big Boy is making a Big Return to the Big Dog Stage.
Yes, I still have my own teeth. No, I don’t need you to chop my food into bite size morsels. I’m NOT grumpy, and I can make my way to the bathroom in time… No incontinence issues here. One can only hope that when they become a senior citizen their family will cherish the years that they’ve shared together and will value the mellow, consistent, gentle soul that their loved one has become.
Howdy folks! Meet Leo aka Bear the 5 year old, Fawn, Leonberger. True to his nickname, he is just a great big ole teddy bear and we can't imagine how he found himself homeless and in a shelter! He is house trained, knows how to use a dog door, isn't destructive with free roam and knows sit, come, no, and almost has load up mastered! Bear loves going for walks at a leisurely pace and doesn't even pull on leash.
Please welcome Helga to the BDHP Scene. The pretty girl is a 3 year old, black, female Newfoundland / Mix and she is going to steal your heart. This sweetie comes to us from a family that loved her dearly, but had to release her due to some special health issues with their newest child. Those medical expenses and the time commitment to their child along with his allergies wouldn’t allow them to care for Helga as she deserved.
Hank is a super cool 1 year and 4 month, male, Great Dane / Lab mix that is making his encore performance at BDHP. This Big Boy was originally rescued from a high kill shelter that his family dumped him at. His path has been long, and he had come to BDHP to hang out for a bit, then he was adopted by another worthy family.
Like many, my world was irreparably destroyed on May 20, 2013. We thought it was just a storm but things spun out of control and my family lost everything in the tornado in Moore Oklahoma. Thankfully we were safe but the house is gone and my family will need some time to rebuild… their home and their life. They decided it was best to give me a chance to find a family in a stable environment and BDHPI eagerly pitched in to help with the effort.
Meet Mr. Alexander, a 2 year old, Harlequin, male Great Dane whom we adoringly refer to as Blade! He is a sweetheart, a leaner and a lover. He loves to be around people and will quickly become your permanent shadow. Blade is timid and a little leery of men at first, but warms up quickly. He is housetrained, kennel trained, and knows sit, down, no, off and out, but could benefit from a refresher obedience class to brush up on his skills.
Hey There, I’m Delilah. I’m a 4 year old, Fawn, English Mastiff and I’m looking for an amazing new family. See I was diagnosed with something called Addison’s Disease and my family couldn’t afford my expensive monthly injection. Addison’s, is an endocrine system disease that when treated with proper medicines, renders me just like every other healthy Big Dog.
Seems like Zhor got the short end of the tug rope in this game of life. He rolled the dice and found that the other players in the game weren’t necessarily playing fair. Zhor is a 2.4 year old, Male, Merle, Great Dane that lived with 2 smaller dogs in his original family. Those dogs were trying to show him who was boss by eating all of Zhor’s food.
The sky is constantly changing and I find peace when I look up. With all of the changes that I have seen within the last month, the sky has been there for me, changing with me. My name is Bogie and if you knew me before, you would have seen me with my family, on our land in the mountains.
Care to dance? We could Cha Cha, Polka, or better yet, let’s Tango! Yes, that sounds perfect, although my version of the Tango might be a little different than yours. I’m Tango and in my world this romantic dance revolves around herding and choreographed organization of other critters… no sudden dips or fancy dresses in my rendition of this classic. I’m a 2 year old, male, Anatolian Shepard Mix and I take my herding pretty seriously.
Hi! I’m Loki, that long-legged, beautiful, lady that you’ve been searching for. I’m a Fawn, 4 year old Anatolian Shepherd and I'm looking for my forever love! My family was going through some pretty heavy changes, like a divorce coupled with moving, and they felt that they couldn’t provide me what I needed, so they thought it better to help me find a new home. Don’t cry for me, because I know that there is new life on the horizon!
My name is Riley and I’m a 21 month old fawn, male Great Dane and I’m hanging out with the cool folks at BDHPI to see about finding a forever family! My parents, up until now, felt like they couldn’t spend enough time with me, so I was starting to get bored… Behaviorists everywhere will tell you that “A Tired Dog is A Happy Dog”, so letting a Big Puppy keep himself occupied just isn’t a good idea.
Say hello to Dr. Doolittle! This 1 year old, male, Great Dane came to BDHPI because this owner was put in jail for a domestic violence. You can only imagine the images that this Big Baby has seen and he could use a fresh start to make some new memories. He is still a puppy so he has plenty to learn and his foster family will be working with him to determine what he already knows and teaching him the basics that he still needs to master.
I’m a hand me down dog. I’ve been handed down and around so many times, that no one is even certain where I started from. My name is Hank and it seems that I’m a 2 to 3 year old, fawn, male, English Mastiff and I really just want a family to love me forever. This last family decided to give me up because they didn’t have enough time for me. Maybe you will have enough time for me.
Welcome to my world. I’m Charlie and I’m looking for new life. I’m still a pretty young male Dogue de Bordeaux at 2.5 years of age and I lived previously with 1 other male dog, 4 female dogs and 6 cats…I got along great with everyone except the other male dog. See, the verdict was still out on who was the Main Guy around these parts, which caused a few dust ups.
There are all kinds of Bones; Dinosaur bones, chicken, bones, leg bones, but you’ve never seen bones like these Big Great Dane Bones; that’s what will be hanging around your house if you pick me as your new friend! My name is Bones and I’m a 22 month old, male, brindle Dane and I’m an active sort of pup.
Howdy folks, my name is Bella! I am a 3 year old, Fawn, female English Mastiff who is ready to embrace a brighter future. You see, life has been tough for me and I have been bounced around to 5 different homes so far in my short life. My original owner used me as a breeding dog and didn't feed me enough so I was emaciated from having puppies when they gave me away on Craigslist.
Meet, Stella! This 5.5 year old, Harlequin, beauty queen is a Great Dane and true to her breed, she is a leaner and a lover. She is house trained and would love a home with a dog door to the backyard or someone home a lot to let her out regularly. Stella is a well-behaved, mature gal who is completely trustworthy with free roam of the house and is not a chewer or a digger.
Meet Cammie! This adorable girl is 7 years young and a beautiful, Brindle, English Mastiff. She has impeccable manners and is already house trained, crate trained, leash trained, and she knows sit, lay, come, and all of her basic commands. Cammie is an inside dog who is super mellow and laid back overall, but also a puppy at heart who likes to go for walks, car rides and have plenty of stuffed Kongs, Nylabones, filled bones, and natural bones to chew on.
I’ve been created not to give or receive love, but to make puppies. Not to be touched, or praised, but to advance financial pursuits of a heartless human… and yet I’m still prepared to offer my companionship, my love, my loyalty. My name is Sue and I WAS a breeding Great Dane female. During my 2.5 years of life, I’ve barely been outside the confines of my crate.
Meet Athena the 2 year old, Black, beautiful female Great Dane! How this sweetheart could end up a stray, emaciated, and behind bars in a shelter is beyond us. All we know is that she is loving her new life at her foster home and all the good food and comfy spots to lay! Athena was around 40 lbs underweight and suffering from Demodex mange but we are happy to report that she is now on the mend.
Meet, Janie! Janie is a 2 year old, Brindle, female English Mastiff who is happy to put her puppy mill days behind her. She was seized and in horrible condition, completely emaciated when she came into rescue but has transformed into a beautiful, healthy girl now. Now it's time to teach her the basics of indoor living! Janie is responding well to a structured routine, knows come and lay down, and does fine crated with a comfy bed and stuffed Kong to chew on.
Meet our friend Bosco the 5 year old, Merle, Male, Great Dane. He is Big Boy that was used as a breeding dog until his owners moved and relinquished him to a rescue. Thankfully, he has found his way to BDHP and we are putting him on the path to being a beloved, family pet. Bosco has been taught some pretty good habits along the way, so he is house-trained, crate-trained, leash-trained and knows how to sit and lay down.
Meet Max! This charming boy is a 7 year old, Tri-pod, Neapolitan Mastiff, primarily black in color with some cool gold stripes blended in. Max is an intelligent pup that has been taught all the manners suitable to a Mastiff. Max is not only house-trained but, he is leash-trained and literally will walk himself with the leash in his mouth. With a pup that smart, you can only expect that he is a good listener and obeys all the commands that he is taught.
My name is Dillon,
Hello, I’m Willow, a spry 6 year old, female St. Bernard mix and I’m new to the BDHPI scene. I used to be with a family but I thought the grass would be greener on the other side of the fence, so every now and then I would hop that 5 ft fence to check out the other side. My owners didn’t like that and were worried for my safety, so they thought it best to give me up so that I could find a family with a big heart and a 6 ft fence.
My name is Beau and I have no home… but I’m hoping to change all that. I’m a 1 year old, male, Cane Corso and I was a pet store puppy. My parents purchased me less than a year ago and they are in our fine military and they are getting sent overseas. They were told that they couldn’t take me because of the confinement period and stuff, so they sent me on my way with their best wishes for a good life.
My world is a little shaky and I’m going to need to find a special, compassionate person to settle things down for me. My name is Ellie and I’m a 6 year old, Merle, Female, Great Dane and I have Wobbler’s Syndrome. This disorder makes me a very special girl with visible trembling and decreased balance. My people have managed my problem with steroids but they have too many stairs in their home which present a serious challenge for me.
Hi, my name is Jordan! I am a 1.5 year old, Merle, male Great Dane. You know, like Scooby Doo? I am just as goofy and a really good boy who is house trained, crate trained, leash trained, and I know how to "sit" on command. I have always lived inside and I am still very much a puppy who likes to play with toys and need plenty of stuffed kongs, nylabones, and natural bones to chew on to keep me out of trouble.
Hello– I’m Jello. I know, your first thought went to that bright, squishy bowl of joy that we all love, but I’m something different. I’m a mellow Jello off of the Mastiff menu. I’m about 2 years old and unlike the jiggley food, I only get better as the days go by. I’m a fawn, female and I have excellent table manners; no begging or hanging around your plate… No sir, not me. I won’t bark at you or jump too high.
My name is Jack and I’m a 3 year old, 107 lb, black, male, one-eyed, Great Dane mix and as fate would have it, I’ve found my way to BDHPI to look for a new family. I found my way here with the help of my previous owners. Not only did they have me, but they had a Big Mastiff and 8 other dogs that I followed around the cattle ranch. Well, Mr. Mastiff had the bright idea to start chasing the calves on the property and sadly, I felt the peer pressure of the pack.
O
I may walk a little funny, but it’s just part of my charm, my unmatchable personality, my ‘je ne sais quoi’. My name is Bella and I’m the Great Pyrenees, puppy girl, with the bad knees that is going to steal your heart. At 7 months old, I’ve been diagnosed with severe luxating patellas which simply means that my knees play tricks on me and the joints don’t line up properly.
Say hello to Daisy (aka Kali)! This buttercup of a pup is joining us to begin a new chapter in her life’s story. Not a lot is known about this petunia’s past, but what is certain is that she is a 100lb, Black, Neapolitan Mastiff.
Meet Scout. Scout’s mission, should he choose to accept it, is to find a new family that will spend endless quality time with him. Scout is a Fawn, Male, 4 year old, Great Pyrenees / Anatolian Shepherd crossed breed and sadly, he was let go by his family because their situation changed.
Roses are red, Violets are blue, Daisy is hoping to be rescued by you! Hi there, I’m Daisy, a Harlequin Great Dane and I’m quite the experienced lady. At 10 years old, I’m surprised to be looking for a new family to spend my retirement years with. It seems that my person found herself on the wrong side of the law and her mother can’t take care of me any longer so here I am.
Princess is a 4 year old, Fawn, female English Mastiff. BDHPI swooped in to help give her a much needed "happily ever after" and ensure she finds her castle and a forever family of her very own! This poor girl came to us grossly underweight, weighing only 97lbs when she should be more like 150lbs at her ideal weight.
Say hello to Chief! This mature gentleman is a Fawn English Mastiff and he is determined to find his new home through BDHPI. Chief comes to us because his owner inherited he and his sister, Brynn, from his uncle who passed away a year ago. He then found himself in a position where he could no longer afford to feed or care for them so they were surrendered to BDHPI. Chief is a very sweet boy and is good with other dogs and has a submissive personality.
My Dad got hurt and couldn’t take care of me anymore. When he damaged his spinal cord, our whole world changed. I hope he’s going to be ok and I really miss him and I know that he really misses me too, but we agreed that finding me a new home was the right thing to do.
Hi, my name is Zeus! I am a 2 year old, Fawn, male Boerboel Mastiff. I was taken to a dark, cold place with metal bars and I heard my owners telling the shelter worker that they had "No money and no time to take care of me". I don't know exactly what that means, but I am pretty sure that it wasn't my fault I ended up there.
Say it with me. “I really, really want a home. I really want a home.” I think everyone should have a mantra, a focus, a dream, and this is the one that I’m sticking with until I find my forever home. My name is Jade Isabella and I’m a 3 year old, Dark Blue, female, Great Dane and I thought my days of saying these words were over.
Brindle; Male; Cane Corse; Dog; Sweet; Mellow; Non-Aggressive; Hugger; Gentle; Good with Dogs; Improper Ear Cropping; House trained; Not destructive; Yes, these words explain what my attributes and attitudes, but they don’t come close to explaining who I am, how I got here and how I’ve spent the last 7 years of my life.
Boo is a 6 year old, Fawn, female Bullmastiff female who is ready for a fresh start! She was badly mistreated in her prior home, but surprisingly does not hold her past against us humans and could not be any sweeter. Her entire back end wiggles as she wags her tail and she is a happy-go-lucky girl who just wants to be loved. Boo loves to give kisses, go for walks, and car rides are always fun adventures.
He grabbed my leash and called, “Come on Mina, it’s time to go.”
Meet Mya! This beautiful, 4 year old, Great Pyrenees female has a thick, gorgeous white coat and is a true supermodel. She is a very well behaved girl who is house trained, crate trained, leash trained, and knows sit, stay, down, and shake. True to her breed, Mya is an excellent guard dog and will bark and patrol her property when she is outside.
Callie is an adorable, 1 year old, tri-color, female Saint Bernard. She and her littermate, Dozer, ended up homeless when their family lost their farm and had to move into an apartment. She is the sweetest thing in the world and just a goofy, loving puppy. Callie doesn't appear to have much prior training but she is very treat motivated and eager to please so we don't expect it will take long before she is a good canine citizen and a proper lady.
Pearl is a stunning, 1-2 year old, Fawn, female Great Dane. She was found as a stray so we don't know much about her history but it is evident that she has been bred before. She is very shy and timid in new situations and will need a new family willing to continue working with her on building her confidence and helping her to come out of her shell. Pearl doesn't have a mean bone in her body and she gets along very well with other dogs and cats.
Luci is an adorable, 2 year old, 80 lb, Mantle female Great Dane who was on death row at a shelter until her new life began when BDHPI came to her rescue. We suspect that she may not have had the best past given how skinny and shy she was, and we just can't imagine how anyone could neglect or mistreat this sweetheart of a dog. She warms up quickly and is a typical Dane lover and leaner once she is comfortable.
Maggie is a 2 year old, Brindle, Fila Brasileiro.
Darla is an adorable, almost 2 year old, Blue, female Neapolitan Mastiff. Her entire body wiggles as she wags and she is a very happy girl! She gets along okay with some other large dogs after proper introductions and time to work out her place in the pack, but does have some aggression issues and would probably do best in a home without any other animals. She definitely cannot be around any small dogs or cats of any kind and does have a strong prey drive.
Nikki(pronounce Nike) is a very distinguished, 9 year old, white, male Great Pyrenees. He is house trained, crate trained, not destructive, and he walks nicely on leash. He is a very good boy who does not chew, dig or get on furniture, but true to his breed, he will bark when outside patrolling his yard. Nikki gets along well with other dogs, although he does prefer to be the boss, loves people, and is a very friendly, mellow boy.
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Calypso the Great Dane! This beautiful 5 year old, spayed female, Mantle Dane is looking for a new forever family to call her own and BDHPI is going to help her find just the right folks. Calypso has had a great life with her family, but unfortunately the addition of a toddler to the home has been stressful for her.
Bebe is a beautiful, 2.5 year old, Black, female Great Dane. She is epileptic and suffers from seizures but we have them well managed on daily medication. She is also blind but after only a couple of weeks she learned her foster home so well you can hardly tell she can't see. Bebe is house trained, not destructive, and her crate is her safe place. She will often go in to take a nap when she is feeling overwhelmed or just tired.
Napoleon(aka Bourque) is a handsome, 2.5 year old, Fawn, English Mastiff. He weighs 150 lbs currently and is just about the sweetest boy you can imagine! He is loving, affectionate, and truly devoted to his humans. Bourque is leery of men initially, but he does warm up with time and treats. He is good with other dogs and is house trained, crate trained, dog door trained and not destructive.
Chaya is a beautiful, 2 year old, Brindle, Presa Canario female. She is very sweet, loving, and affectionate to all she meets and her back end doesn't stop wiggling. She is good with other dogs, but is a dominant breed and can be aggressive. She is doing really well in a stable pack of larger dogs at her foster home with no cats or small dogs. Chaya is great with older kids! She is house trained, crate trained, and treat and praise motivated.
