Mainly posting to vent a bit, but also wondering if anyone has any resources that I'm not currently utilizing.
I've finally decided to add another Dane to my household. I don't have too many requirements, I'd prefer a 1-3 year old dog but would consider slightly younger than 1 if it was otherwise a good match. I want a playful companion for Titan, as none of my other dogs will engage with him very often. Doesn't need to be good with cats, I'd prefer a dog who was good with kids.
I've been looking for a few weeks now and am really having difficulty locating any prospects, or even avenues through which to conduct my search. A vast majority of rescues will not adopt to me, as I do not have a fenced yard and Titan is intact. I've been perusing sites like Hoobly and classified ads to see if an older Dane is posted there needing to be rehomed, but I refuse to give money to anyone who is backyard breeding and rehoming a dog they've used to produce litters.
I'm not quite sure how to get word out that I'm looking for a Dane, whether I should just contact local breeders or what, but it's getting very frustrating. I'd love to rescue but can't and supporting a byb is out of the question. I've found one young female I quite liked, but the phone number on her ad is disconnected even though the ad was renewed several days ago.
All I want to do is give another dog a good forever home. Anyone have any ideas for ways to find an adolescent/adult Dane needing a home?
