What Great Danes are like to live with
Despite the name, the Great Dane's origins lie in Germany, where its ancestors hunted wild boar in packs. The Royal Kennel Club calls it a "muscular and elegant descendant of boar hunters" and says the hunting instinct is still there.

Great Danes in Norwich: your questions
Tap a question to expand
How many rescue Great Danes are available for adoption in Norwich?
As of 8 November 2026, no Great Danes are listed for adoption in and around Norwich on LocalPetFinder. Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.
How long do Great Danes live?
The Royal Kennel Club gives the Great Dane a lifespan of under 10 years, and Dogs Trust says typically 10 or more. For a rescue dog, ask the rescue what vet checks it has had, and ask your own vet about its health.
Are Great Danes good family dogs?
The Royal Kennel Club says the Great Dane makes a wonderful family dog, kind and loyal to its family. PDSA adds that, because of their size and strength, they may not be ideal with smaller children. Every rescue dog is an individual, so ask the rescue whether this dog has lived with children and what kind of home they think suits it.
How much does it cost to adopt a Great Dane in Norwich?
Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.
Are there Great Dane puppies for sale in Norwich?
No. We don't list animals for sale. Every Great Dane on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. Rescues rehome animals rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross puppies under six months start from £525. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. If you searched "great dane puppies for sale Norwich", the Great Danes here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.
Can I get a free Great Dane to a good home in Norwich, or one under £500?
Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
Are there Great Dane puppies for adoption in Norwich?
