It'll pump a little heat onto the garage, but that won't be a bad thing for most of the year and it really won't matter in the summer when the garage is oven hot anyway. In the meantime, it'll just vent into the crawl space between the house foundation and the garage foundation. Otherwise it's a 35ft run to the outside wall. That's too far to vent a dryer.

This house we moved into 18 years ago had the dryer vent into the garage, panty hose filter and all.
One day, on a Saturday, we had a load of clothes drying and I was in the garage, working on one of my radio control airplanes. Did the same routine the next Saturday.
Each night thereafter I started having some really weird dreams. They were in black and white and always included ferns and jungle-like foliage. Basically, my own personal movies behind my eyes.
We had a gas dryer. I'm sure you can connect the dots.
