Story
🐾 Meet North (aka Nosey Northy!)Age: ~2 years oldBreed: Great Dane mixWeight: ~55 lbs.💛 About NorthNorth is the sweetest, goofiest boy with a big heart and an even bigger curiosity about the world—hence his nickname, Nosey Northy! He is always eager to explore, sniff, and learn everything he missed out on while in the shelter.He loves being near his people but is not overly needy. North is the perfect balance of playful and relaxed—he enjoys bursts of fun with his toys, especially his ducky toys, but is just as happy being a total couch potato and cuddle buddy afterward.He is also a BIG foodie (cheese is his current favorite!) which makes him highly trainable and very motivated to learn.⚡ Energy LevelLow to moderateNorth would be perfectly happy with one good walk a day or a fenced yard where he can explore, sunbathe, and be his curious self.🏡 Ideal HomeNorth would thrive in a moderately active home that enjoys walks, playtime, and adventures—but also appreciates a good snuggle session. A fenced yard would be a huge bonus for him to safely explore and relax.🧠 Training & BehaviorHouse trainedCrate trained (but does not need to be crated)Potty trainedKnows: sit, stay, down, shakeWorking on: jumping when excited + coming when calledLeash skills: improving quickly with training and very receptiveNot destructive and not a chewer (just a goofy, clumsy boy learning his space)No resource guardingExtremely food motivated and eager to learn🐕 SocializationDogs: Loves other dogsPeople: Very social and friendlyCats: Previously reported not best with cats (has not been tested in current foster home)Kids: Not yet tested, but expected to do very well due to his gentle, social nature🚗 Personality & LifestyleNorth is confident and unbothered by noise, storms, or new environments.
