Description
Dog Breed: Great Dane. Meet Gunner – The Gentle Giant Who Survived the Desert When Gunner was found wandering alone in the Arizona desert, he was nothing but skin and bones—his ribs visible, his eyes pleading for help. Despite everything he’d been through, his tail still wagged when someone finally stopped for him. Originally, another rescue had planned to take him in, but when they backed out at the last minute, Gunner showed up at our door—and of course, we opened our hearts and our gates. ❤️ Today, this stunning Great Dane weighs about 130 pounds and could still use another 8–10 pounds to fill out to his ideal weight. He’s a sweet, playful, people-loving boy who adores other dogs and enjoys attention, affection, and being part of the pack. Gunner is dog friendly, social, and active, but he’s also gentle and grateful for every soft bed and kind hand that’s come his way. Because we don’t have any history of him with small children, a home without young toddlers is recommended. Great Dane experience is a plus—someone who understands their size, heart, and need for companionship. Gunner is ready for a fresh start, a family who will never let him go hungry or alone again.

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.
