Gwen - Great Dane / Mixed Dog For Adoption

View more

ily and has settled beautifully into life with her foster home, which includes four kids between the ages of 10 and 15. She is incredibly loving and affectionate, always ready to curl up with her people, but also knows when to take a break and retreat to a quiet spot. Gwen is wonderfully tolerant of the ups and downs in her busy household, and nothing fazes her—not even the occasional meltdown from the kids. Like many Danes, Gwen has very little sense of personal space. She’ll happily sprawl across you, your board game, or whatever happens to be in front of her if it means she gets to be close. One of her most endearing habits is offering her paw to gently ask for attention—or nudging your phone out of the way so you can give her both hands for pets. She loves her walks, usually one or two a day with her gentle leader, and after that she’s content to relax for the rest of the day. She’s housebroken, crate trained, and rides well in the car. Gwen is highly food motivated, which makes training easier, though it also means mealtime is full of her happy dances. She hasn’t quite figured out toys yet, but sometimes sneaks off with a stuffed animal only to drop it a few steps later. She also has a funny, hoarse bark that catches most people by surprise the first time they hear it. This girl loves being outside and will happily stretch out on a bed in the yard for hours if you let her. She does well with her canine foster brother after a slow introduction, and she’d likely do best with laid-back dog companions if she has them. Gwen can be protective of her family and suspicious of new people, especially if they come into the home. Because of this, she would thrive in a quieter household without many visitors, with older kids or teens, and with adopters who understand her need for patience and thoughtful introductions. With her big heart, gentle soul, and silly, lovable quirks, Gwen is ready to find a family that will cherish her as much as she’ll cherish them. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will give you her paw (literally and figuratively), Gwen just might be the perfect match. ========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! form.jotform/51994996709176 .
