Description:

Pure bred Great Dane, good w/ children & great w/ other dogs big & small.  Rides great in the car but does not know he can 'just jump in' so you have to give him a little boost, hopefully he will learn, but in the mean time prepare to help a very large boy up!  You must research the breed fully, how to feed & vet them before applying.  A large fenced yard & training classes are recommended.

He was surrendered to LDDR because his family ran a day care & altho he is great w/ children most of them were afraid of him & it was not fair to keep him crated or separate from them all day.  He was also very thin & 'wormy' when he came into my foster care so I believe they were have trouble affording a large breed dog.  He is being vetted, dewormed & eating good so he should be in tip top shape in no time :-)  (We are also scheduling a 'tummy tack' along w/ his neuter to help prevent future problems w/ bloat & other stomach issues that plague the large breed dogs... but you will still need to educate yourself on these issues & take proper precautions)

He is a gentle giant & a joy to have around.

Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal.

Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.

The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label.

Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by.
