My story

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

Mouse is a gentle 4-year-old Great Dane. True to her breed, she’s not a high-energy dog—she’s happiest with a nice walk, some thoughtful training time and play, and plenty of cozy moments on the couch. Once she trusts you, she loves to cuddle and will happily wag her little tail with just words of affirmation.

Mouse finds confidence through structure and positive reinforcement. She likes playing with other dogs, though—as with many Great Danes—she needs thoughtful boundaries to avoid over-exercising and to support her long-term health. Her ideal home will understand the importance of moderation and ongoing care that helps giant breeds thrive.

When Mouse first came into our care, she was very fearful of the world around her. Through patience and consistent support, she’s blossomed into a loving, affectionate companion. She’s still a cautious girl—very gentle, but sensitive—and will need continued, proper socialization to help her flourish.

Mouse would do best with adopters who are committed to her long-term physical and emotional well-being. In return, she offers quiet devotion, a loving presence, and the kind of bond that feels incredibly special because you earned it.

Mouse is house trained, can walk on leash, knows some basic commands, and is doing well building recall so far. Due to her size, we recommend a home without small children.

If you’re looking for a sweet, tender giant who just wants to feel safe and loved, Mouse might be your girl. 💛

Additional adoption info

Please visit www.hopeanimals.org/adopt to learn more about our adoption process and to complete an adoption application.

Adoption Fee includes spay/neuter*, microchipping, up-to-date vaccinations, and current heartworm and flea/tick preventatives.

*If pet is not old enough to be spayed or neutered prior to adoption, a $50.00 credit will be paid to your vet at the time of surgery.

We require a veterinary reference for current pet owners, and pets must be up to date on vaccines and heartworm preventative. We meet potential adopters in their homes and introduce the pets to the family's current pets to see if it is a good match. A copy of our adoption contract can be requested via email.
