Story
Meet Geeno (a.k.a. Grandpa Gee) - Big in Size, Bigger in Heart.Geeno is an extra-large, extra-special senior Great Dane with a heart as grand as his paws. After being found scavenging through neighborhood trash cans just to survive, this gentle giant landed in animal control-emaciated, exhausted, and in need of some serious TLC. At just 113 pounds when he arrived, Geeno has now worked his way back to a healthy weight of 145 pounds. Geeno is missing one eye, likely due to an old injury, but it`s fully healed and causes him no discomfort. He has some skin tags (typical for a dog his age!), and the ones that needed attention have already been removed. He`s also been neutered and had a full dental, so he`s feeling fresh and fabulous!Currently living with two other dogs in his foster home, Geeno does well with slow introductions, but deep down, he`d love nothing more than to be your one and only. He`s a classic Velcro dog-loyal, loving, and never far from your side. If you`ve got love to give, Geeno wants it all. Though he`s a senior, Geeno still has plenty of pep in his step! A fenced-in yard is a must, as he enjoys stretching those long legs and trotting around like the majestic boy he is. That said, a home with no stairs is ideal, as his back legs are beginning to show signs of age, and we want to keep him comfortable as long as possible. He will need to stay on Gabapentin for life (at the adopter`s expense) to support his mobility.Geeno is house-trained, crate-trained, and a perfect passenger in the car. He`s a total lovebug who will happily settle into your lap (yes, all of him), snuggle up in your bed, and make himself right at home.If you`re ready to open your heart to a gentle soul who`s been through a lot and still has so much love to give, Geeno is waiting for you. Help us give this beautiful boy the retirement home he so deeply deserves. Apply today to meet Geeno-- your loyal companion in a giant, lovable package.Adoption fee is $140Email: kristym@almosthomefoundation.netAlmost Home Foundation`s adoption requirements:1) Be at least 21 years of age2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household3) Have approval from the residence owner4) Have valid ID with current address5) Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home6) Live in the suburbs surrounding Schaumburg (Illinois Residents only)*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts o
