Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hey there, I'm Fred, the mighty Great Dane! I'm only 7 months old, but I'm already pushing the scales close to 90 pounds. They say I'll probably top out around 200 pounds when I'm all grown up. With my sleek black fur and boundless energy, I'm a real looker, if I do say so myself. Oh, and I'm a boy, in case you were wondering.
I've already got the whole house training thing down pat, and I'm not too shabby when it comes to hanging out in my crate, especially if there's some yummy food involved. But hey, who can blame me for being a bit food-motivated, right?
Now, I haven't had much experience with kids yet, but I'm a total social butterfly with other dogs. As for cats, well, I did give chase to one when I met them, but my foster mom thinks I'll grow out of it with some proper guidance. Yep, I'm still a bit of a wild puppy, trying to figure out how to use all four of these paws of mine.
If you're thinking about bringing me home, just keep in mind that having a fenced yard would be awesome for my safety. And I'll definitely need some training to help me be the best dog I can be. But I promise, with my playful spirit and gentle nature, I'll bring a whole lot of love and laughter to your home.
Local adoptions only. We do not adopt out of the state of Illinois. Fred is being fostered in a private home. Appointments to meet him will be set up for approved adopters only. His adoption fee is $500 which includes all age appropriate vaccines. He is neutered, microchipped and Heartworm negative. He has also been kept on both flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. Please visit our website and fill out an application if you are interested. http://newstartdogrescue.org
