Just Giants and their network of gracious volunteers work tirelessly to provide care and find homes for these awesome giant breed dogs. Ones that require large financial commitments and can be incredibly difficult to home. Not everyone is capable and able to handle these loving animals.
Our story with Just Giants began about 2 years ago. The rescue was called to help remove a Great Dane from a terrible breeding situation. Kept in a vacant home full of filth this poor girl was being breed to sell her puppies in order to fund the owners drug habit.
They took her in and helped fight a lengthy legal battle to terminate the owners rights. While doing so no one knew she was pregnant. She birthed 13 pure Great Dane puppies. The volunteers stepped up and took care of mom and puppies until the all found suitable homes.
This was an enormous undertaking. Only made possible by the financial support of donors. The medical care, supplies, food, and more were needed to care for these giant, wonderful animals. Without it these dogs would have suffered.
Our Thor was a part of that litter. We cannot think of our crazy life without him. We are so grateful that the rescue was able to step up and provide what was needed to save mom and her babies. Ensuring they landed in loving, deserving homes.
This is just one story that saved 14 dogs. There are countless other stories. The financial burden these giant dogs need when neglected in order to care for the medical needs is large. I am amazed that they are able to do so much great work within their limited budget. I can only imagine how many more could be saved with additional resources. Please consider helping them continue their good work in saving more of these gentle giants.
Amazing rescue!! Very easy yet thorough adoption process. When you adopt from them, it feels like you join their family. My dog was timestamped at another shelter for medical needs and behavioral issues but Just Giants were willing to take her in and give her a chance at life, even though she was 15 hours away. Two years later, she is thriving thanks to Just Giants and her foster family. They disclosed every detail about my dog prior to adoption. You can tell they put the effort in to find the perfect home for each dog. So grateful for them and the fresh start they gave my dog. They literally saved her life! (Bonus: it’s a foster ran shelter, so the dogs get to unwind in a home rather than a stressful shelter environment).
I have been apart of this amazing rescue for 8 years. As of January I and another volunteer took over as Co-Directors! We have the most amazing rescue family that make it all happen! Blessed is an understatement for all the long hours and hard work everyone puts in! I couldn’t imagine doing what we do for so many sweet fur babies without the support of our team and supporters.
Just Giants Rescue gave us our first big baby to love. This organization saves these beautiful giant souls from terrible situations, nurses them back to health through loving foster homes and necessary vet care. They do all they can to make sure they go to the right forever home giving them a second chance for the life they deserve. There is never a shortage of giant dogs that need their help. This organization can only do their work with the help of donations and volunteers. They are hero’s who save lives and we will always be grateful for the beautiful soul they gave us to love!
My Wife and I have a passion for and love of all animals and our particular fondness for Great Danes.
Back in 2015 we were looking to adopt our first Great Dane and came across a relatively new rescue specializing in large breed dogs. Having just had a pretty negative interaction with a different Great Dane Rescue we quickly found that this new rescue was made up of an amazing group of people who quite simply "got it!" and we adopted our 1st Dane, Carson. Since then we have always had a great relationship with the volunteers at Just Giants and have been able to support them through donations received from our Halloween Display. We have adopted 4 incredible Great Danes from Just Giants
All through the years with which we have been associated with Just Giants we have always been amazed at the passion and dedication of everyone involved with the rescue and have tried to express the gratitude for the enrichment they have brought to our lives through their rescue efforts.
