Whiskey

My story

Meet Whiskey – Your Happy, Fun-Loving Gentle Giant Hello! My name is Whiskey, and I’m a 1½-year-old female Great Dane with a heart as big as my paws. Life has changed so much since I first arrived at Central Arizona Animal Rescue, and I’m thrilled to share my story with you. If you’re looking for a dog who’s full of love, resilience, and joy, keep reading—because I might just be the perfect match for you! From Scared and Unsure to Thriving and Joyful When I was first surrendered, I didn’t know what was happening. My world had turned upside down, and I was scared and unsure of everything around me. But thanks to the kindness and patience of the amazing people at the rescue, I’ve blossomed into a confident, happy girl who loves life! Every day brings new adventures, and I’m ready to share those adventures with my forever family. What Makes Me Special I’m a true gentle giant—big in size, but even bigger in heart. I absolutely adore playing and hanging out with other dogs. Whether it’s romping in the yard or relaxing together after a fun day, I’m happiest when I have furry friends around. If you already have dogs at home, that’s a huge bonus because I’ll fit right in! And guess what? I recently attended an adoption event, and I was AMAZING with kids of all ages! Gentle, patient, and sweet—I loved every minute of meeting new friends. It was such a fun day, and it showed everyone just how loving and adaptable I am. Social Media Star When the rescue first posted me on Facebook, I blew up the page! My big personality and adorable face brought in dozens of inquiries. Unfortunately, only one person came to meet me, and while they decided not to adopt, that just means my forever family is still out there waiting for me. Could that be you? My Health and Training Here’s what you should know about me: Great with other dogs – I love having furry friends! Wonderful with kids – I’ve proven I can be gentle and loving. Healthy and ready to go – I’m spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Still learning leash manners – I’m eager to learn and will thrive with consistent training. I’m young, strong, and full of energy, so I’ll need a family who’s committed to helping me continue my training. Walking nicely on a leash is still a work in progress, but I promise I’ll try my best. With your guidance and patience, I’ll become the perfect walking partner. Why Adopt Me? Great Danes like me are known as gentle giants. We may look imposing, but our hearts are soft. I dream of being your loyal companion, your couch buddy, and your walking partner. I want to greet you with happy tail wags when you come home and rest my head in your lap when the day is done. If you give me a chance, I’ll give you unconditional love in return. Ready to Meet Me?
