Rescue of the month

Leaveau - Female Adult Mastiff

Leveaux AKA Monkey is 8 year old female Boerboel (South African Mastiff). She is such a sweet hunk of love that just wants to be where you are. Her tongue is almost always poking out a little bit, especially when she sleeps and it is adorable just like her. She is working on her house training, spayed, has yet to go all the way up stairs but if fine getting in and out of a car. Great with kids and very gentle in general though a little clumsy.

welcome to giant hearts giant dogs rescue

Our Dog Rescue

We are a non profit organization devoted to helping abandoned or surrendered giant breed dogs (Great Danes, Mastiffs, Saint Bernards and more) in the Virginia area. GHGDR is an all volunteer organization who dedicate their personal time to the giant breeds in need.

The giant breed dogs come to us from various situations: financial reasons, development of allergies, families moving away and unable to take the dog with them, and many more. Some dogs are found as strays with no identification to locate their original family.

Occasionally we will rescue dogs from hoarders or from abusive situations. The reason a giant breed dog comes to us is not as important as our mission to take care of the giant breed dogs, ensure they are healthy and find them loving forever homes. They all need our help and we need yours.

If you are interested in adopting a giant breed dog, start by looking at our Available Dogs page. They all come from different situations but they all share the desire to be loved and to love back. Our available dogs are just waiting to be by your side and keep your feet warm at night!

We are here to guide you and help you find the right giant breed dog for you and your family. If we don't have your perfect giant breed dog, we can help you with other rescue organizations to find the perfect giant breed for you. We only want to help each giant breed dog find a forever home. We make every effort to ensure the dog will be a perfect match for your family. Please contact us and we'll help narrow down which dogs will be best for you. If you are interested in learning more about Giant Dogs and some of the concerns, please visit our Information page.

After looking over our available dogs, please click here to submit an online adoption form through Petstablished. All adoption applications will be reviewed carefully and you will be contacted within 72hrs. Since we are an all volunteer organization with busy lives of our own, the best way to contact us is via email. We will respond as soon as possible, and we hope to hear from you!
