My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Ben!
This one-year-old, 83-pound Great Dane is a total heartthrob—complete with a stunning merle coat, one striking blue eye, and the soul of a big, goofy puppy. Ben may still fill out another 10 pounds, but he’s on the more petite side for a Dane mix.

He’s a gentle, underconfident boy who’s just starting to discover the world. His personality is all sweet, a big sensitive softie. He’s dog- and cat-friendly, and does great with children. At his core, Ben is just a big baby looking for love, leadership, and life experience.

Ben needs a home that understands big dogs and is ready to help him gain confidence through positive reinforcement, structure, and consistent socialization. A backyard would be ideal, along with a family who has time to devote to training, exercise, and lots of affection.

If you’re looking for a lovable, slightly shy gentle giant who’s ready to bloom, Ben could be your perfect match.

Let’s find this big-hearted boy the forever family he deserves!
