Description
Dog Breed: Great Dane (short coat). Adoption Fee: $150.00. Meet Our Gentle Giant, “Herc”! This handsome 8-year-old male Great Dane may have a serious-looking face, but don’t let that fool you—he’s one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. At about 120 pounds, he’s a big boy with an even bigger heart. He loves a good game of tug of war or fetch, but he’s just as happy curling up on the couch for cuddles or settling in for a long nap. He’s great with kids and great with other dogs, making him a wonderful fit for many families. He has solid manners, can be called off pretty well, and can be trusted loose in the house when you’re away. His only little quirk? He can be a bit of a counter surfer—but with a dog this tall, who can blame him? If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal companion who blends playfulness with laid-back charm, this sweet boy is ready to steal your heart. Apply to meet him today at bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication

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.
