Description
Dog Breed: Great Dane (medium coat). Hello! My name's Apollo! Weight 86.2# but my ideal weight is somewhere between 95# and 105# I'm a sweet, playful pup who is working on adding a few extra pounds so I can be at a healthy weight. I love running around with my dog friends and playing with my toys. Of course, since I came into the shelter underweight, I do LOVE my food and I may tried to steal snacks off of countertops if given the chance. Be sure to bring in any current dogs in the home with you to meet me! FWACC reserves the right to place me in the best fit home!

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.
