Woof! Hey there, pals! My name's Freight, and let me tell ya, I've got a story to bark about! I'm a proud 5-year-old Great Dane, standing tall and wagging strong. Life hasn't been all bones and belly rubs for me, but I'm a survivor, through and through!
You see, I've conquered the big bad Heartworm beastie like a champ. It wasn't easy, but with lots of love and care, I wagged my way through treatment and came out on top. Now, I'm feeling fit as a fiddle and ready to sniff out all the adventures life has to offer!
I'm a dog who knows how to enjoy the simple pleasures, like leisurely walks where I can take in all the scents of the world around me. Oh, and don't get me started on my love for hanging out with other dogs! There's nothing quite like a good old-fashioned playdate to get my tail wagging.
But hey, I'm not just a four-legged fluffball-I'm also a student! Yep, you heard that right. I'm currently hitting the books (well, more like hitting the treats) at Miracle Canine Training. They're helping me fine-tune my skills and become the best boy I can possibly be. And guess what? They even offer follow-up training to ensure I stay on my best behavior!
So, if you're on the lookout for a well-trained, lovable companion who's been through the ruff stuff and come out stronger on the other side, then look no further! Just shoot an email over to foster@cuyahogacounty.us, and we can arrange a meet and greet. Trust me, folks, you won't regret giving this good boy a chance to wiggle his way into your heart!
