ABOUT LINK
Link is a 3 year old Great Dane mix that loves hanging with people and exploring outdoors. Link came to HAP from a high-intake shelter partner in Georgia, where he was at risk of euthanasia simply for his size. Despite being a big boy, Link is truly a gentle giant and very well-mannered with people. If anything, watch out for his extreme tail wags! He has been overlooked for so long because of his size and strength, but Link hasn't given up on finding a family to call his own! He enjoys spending time in our fenced fields to get his zoomies out and play with his friends. He loves to sniff and explore too, making him the perfect adventure buddy! After some time outside, he melts into a snuggly baby and loves getting back scratches. Link has participated in our Doggy Day Out program, take a look what our volunteers had to say about their day with him:
"Link was the BEST boy this morning on our trail walk. He's a big guy, so he might look like he would be a handful, but he is the sweetest, chillest, marshmallowiest boy. He has irresistible velvety ears that he likes having rubbed. Really hope someone adopts this sweet guy soon."
"Link and I had a good, long hike today at Carousel Park! He's a handsome guy with plenty of energy. He loves to take in all the smells and sounds of outside. He knows 'sit' and will look for that tasty reward! Overall, he has plenty of energy for a hiking buddy and you'll be rewarded with his affection! He welcomed being pet and liked to lean on me for love!"
Link would do best with adults or children that are comfortable with a large breed pup, as he is taller than most kiddos! He is very overstimulated by other dogs in his space, so a home without other dogs would be best. Link cannot live with cats.
**Link is seeking a home as your only pet.
