Description
Dog Breed: Great Dane (short coat). Meet Roy Roy’s story is a heartbreaking one — but it’s also a story of resilience, healing, and hope. Roy was surrendered to the PSPCA in horrific condition. After sitting in the shelter for six days, they reached out to us, and we immediately stepped in. Roy was severely emaciated, and his bladder had herniated into his scrotum. He was rushed into emergency surgery, where he underwent a bladder repair, gastropexy, and was neutered. The first couple of weeks with us were understandably difficult for Roy. His past had not been kind. His previous owner failed to feed him properly, and he was constantly attacked by other dogs in the home. Roy was never socialized and was only allowed outside at 3 a.m. for bathroom breaks. He missed out on being a puppy — on safety, consistency, and love. But Roy is proving every day just how incredible he is. For the past month and a half, Roy has been attending Gypsy K9, where he has truly been thriving. He has learned how to interact with other dogs and has been enjoying playtime and structured socialization. While Roy is shy at first and needs time to build trust, once he feels safe, his true personality shines through — affectionate, silly, and a total goofball. Roy is: Neutered and Gastropexy Crate trained House trained Obedience trained Dog friendly with proper introductions Roy is looking for a patient, understanding home that will continue to help him grow and show him the life he always deserved.

Breed overview
Great Dane

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.
