Description
Dog Breed: Great Dane. LOCATION: Minden, Louisiana DOB: 5/17/2014 When you look back on today, you will remember this as the day you first met the beautiful and grand Dakota. Her foster mom calls her “an angel” and all the girls at the vet’s office gush over how sweet and well behaved she is. Miss Dakota may be a senior gal but with all that life experience comes wisdom. Dakota is potty trained, crate trained and knows some obedience commands such as Sit, Go Potty and Up. She loves car rides and going for walks. One of her favorite things to do is hold down the couch and snuggle up with a toy and a human. She is not a Velcro Dane but she does love to get her loving. She also will bury her head in your lap for neck scratches. If you stop and she isn't done, she will give you the paw, or nudge/flip your hand up to get more. She has been around other dogs and isn’t afraid to speak her mind with them if needed. She would best thrive in a home where she is the only dog, or a home with a low-key male dog (she doesn't want to share her space with female dogs). She does want her food all to herself and needs to be fed separately from other dogs. Cats? Easy-peasy-like a walk in the park. Dakota can get nervous around tiny humans. Her ideal home would have children over the age of twelve. She’s hoping her new family would be okay letting her sleep in the bed with them. She promises to be respectful of your space and not be all up in your business. Her right rear paw does have a pronounced deformity. Her foster family calls it her “bunny foot.” The vet said it’s ok but she will need to be monitored for arthritis as she goes along. She can run, spin, play tug-o-war and so far has not stopped her from being pretty amazing. And if she is given a squeaky ball to play with, you've pretty much made her day, week, and year. Nail trims are not as fantastic of a time for sweet Dakota. She has those done at the vet's office. Dakota was with one family for her whole life. Due to unforeseen circumstances out of her control, she is now looking for her second, and hopefully, last family. Will you be that family for her?

Overview:
The Great Dane is an impressive and regal breed, often dubbed the "Apollo of Dogs" for its dignified stature and noble appearance. Originating in Germany, where it was historically bred for hunting boar, this giant breed is renowned for its immense size and striking presence. Physically, Great Danes are characterized by their tall, muscular build, short coat (available in various colors like fawn, brindle, black, blue, and harlequin), and expressive eyes. Despite their formidable size, they possess a surprisingly gentle and affectionate temperament, making them wonderful family companions. They are known for being patient with children and generally get along well with other pets. While their size might suggest otherwise, Great Danes can adapt to apartment living if provided with sufficient daily exercise, as they are not overly energetic indoors. However, prospective owners should be aware of certain health considerations, including a predisposition to bloat (gastric dilatation-volvulus), hip dysplasia, and certain heart conditions, necessitating careful breeding and regular veterinary check-ups. Overall, a Great Dane offers a loving and loyal addition to the right home.
