Description
Dog Breed: Great Dane (short coat). For more information about this Dane, please visit our website at rmgreatdane. Adoption Applications link can be found on the home page. Special Needs: Daily heart medication ($18 per month) Kevin’s photos say so much about his past. It is clear this boy has been let down before but we at RMGDRI want to help turn things around and provide the love and medical care Kevin deserves. We are in need of a special foster family willing to support his recovery. Because we have limited information on Kevin, the ideal home will have no other dogs or cats. We will consider older, dog savvy teenagers but given limited history, a home with children is not ideal. Like most shelter surrenders, we have limited information on Kevin. We know based on a vet examination, he will have significant health needs. We as a rescue will cover his medical care. We need a loving foster home that has the ability to take him to doctor appointments as needed and provide whatever medical care is required in the home. We would like to get him out of the shelter as soon as possible. Kevin will likely remain on medical hold (foster) status with the rescue due to his health needs.

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.
