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. Meet Odie, the king of comfort — a gentle giant who has perfected the art of couch surfing (and we’re not talking the travel kind ️). At 7 years young, he’s still got plenty of pep in his paws but prefers a life of leisure, snuggles, and parading his beloved stuffed toys around like prized treasures. Odie is goofy, affectionate, and loyal to his humans. He enjoys car rides , easygoing walks , and quiet afternoons just hanging out. He’s polite with visitors, calm in new situations, and happiest when he’s near his people ❤️. He’s also a great communicator — you’ll get a gentle nudge when it’s time for dinner ️, and if you’re slow to sit down for cuddles, he might follow you from room to room until you get the hint. While he’s a pretty chill guy, Odie does have some quirks—he’s a bit of a counter-surfer (bread is his weakness) and may have a touch of separation anxiety when left too long. He’s housetrained, trustworthy with free roam, and walks nicely on a harness—just be ready to redirect him if a fence-line dog starts talking smack . Odie’s lived happily with another Great Dane, greets strangers with grace, and doesn’t seem bothered by squirrels ️ or cats from a distance. He’s not a high-energy dog but still enjoys short bursts of play and the occasional zoomie session that reminds you he’s still just a big puppy at heart . Odie’s wish list for his forever home: ✨ Calm, easygoing household (older kids or adults preferred) ✨ Humans home often enough to keep him company ✨ A fenced yard for sniffing, sunbathing, and toy parades ✨ Possibly a chill doggie roommate ✨ Plenty of soft spots for napping and stuffed animals for collecting Health-wise, he has mild arthritis and one adorably unique oval-shaped pupil (he was born that way—it doesn’t affect his vision ). If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who will fill your couch, your camera roll , and your heart —Odie is ready to meet you. More about Odie: House trained: Yes Allowed free roam but will counter surf if something appealing is available (Bread!) Good with kids: Yes, respectful, older children Good with dogs: Yes – has previously lived with another Dane Good with cats: Unknown – but was okay at a distance Calm and well mannered Walks well on a leash Mild energy but still likes to play

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.
