Description
Dog Breed: Great Dane. URGENT: Foster or Foster-to-Adopt Needed for Kaya Kaya is about 4 years old, around 105lbs, a gentle giant who is incredibly sweet, calm, and loving. She was rescued from the NYCACC last summer, after being being found as a stray. She’s mellow and cuddly at home and playful and athletic outside. She loves people, is great with dogs, and has been wonderful with kids. She is super interested in squirrels outside but is trained on a halti; no guarding or behavioral issues. She is not yet spayed, but will be, in our care! Her owner loves her deeply and has done everything right for her, but a sudden family situation (a young child with asthma and dog allergies moving in) means he urgently needs help placing her. He does NOT want her going back to the shelter. Kaya deserves a soft landing - whether that’s a foster or foster-to-adopt home. If you’ve been thinking about welcoming a new dog home and love big breeds, this is an amazing, easy dog! Pickup will be at our storage facility in South Brooklyn. Submit an application now, to help us give Kaya a new start and the froever home she's been dreaming of!

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.
