My story

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

Chico is a blind 10 week old Harlequin Great Dane mix. He is very smart and adaptive.
He learned to navigate around the house and out into the yard very quickly.
He also learned to find his food and water bowl, and loves to chew on toys.
He sleeps in his crate or just crashes on the floor when he is tired. He is house trained, he just needs to learn where the back door is so he can ask to go out.
He is wearing a Halo bumper harness so he does not run into things - he bounces off and redirects himself. He wears this while learning where things are in a new environment.
He walks on a leash - but likes to be very close to your feet for reassurance he is going the proper direction.
He is a hungry boy - and very food motivated with treats. He is learning the clicker means treat and to obey the command given.
He is good at meeting people - a little cautious but with reassurance he is good.
Not a huge fan of the car (he rides in a crate as a puppy) but after a quick song he goes to sleep.
He is testing his boundaries and needs a steady routine and to learn how a good puppy should act. He can be a feisty boy at times and needs redirection with toys and calm gentle correction. Training will be a requirement of his adoption. He would do best in a home with another dog to help guide him and play with him.
Chico is a beautiful sweet boy who just needs someone to teach him to be the best boy he can be. He will grow into a big handsome hunk. He is good at meeting other dogs and is young enough to go to a home with cats and children, as long as he gets the training he needs. Please consider giving Chico a home, he is just an amazing dog!
