Description
Dog Breed: Great Dane (short coat). Hi! My name is Archer but my foster mom calls me Archie. I'm a smart boy and answer to both names. I was born on November 19, 2018 which means I'll be 7years old soon. I act very young for my age and love to go for short walks (I walk very nicely on a leash) and especially love car rides. I play very enthusiastically with my foster sister who is only 2 years old. There are 3 cats in the house but I ignore them. I have been to PetSmart and Lowes and have done really well. I'm still a little hesitant of big men and of little kids ( kids 12 yrs and up would be best) but we are working on that! When they are around I like to hide behind mom! I'm a very smart boy and know all my basic commands but don't really like the STAY one. I'm potty trained and trustworthy in the house but would prefer being with you to being left behind. I had some skin issues, ear infections and eye infections when I arrived but those are all clear now. I am a super sweet boy who is looking for a soft place to land...a FOREVER home of my own! Please consider this sweetest older boy. Archer is being fostered in Jacksonville NC.

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.
