I'm a handsome Great Dane, estimated to be between 1 and 2 years old, and I'm on the lookout for my forever home. While I may not be a tiny puppy anymore, I still have plenty of love and enthusiasm to share. I'm currently in the process of mastering the art of potty training, but I do have the occasional accident indoors. With consistent guidance and patience, I'm making progress every day. I must admit, I do struggle with separation anxiety, so I'm hoping to find a compassionate owner who can offer me the security and reassurance I need. One of my most endearing qualities is my love for food and my eagerness to learn. I thrive on positive reinforcement and would really flourish with someone who can dedicate time and attention to my training. I'm highly intelligent, so I pick up commands quickly and am always eager to please. Although I can be a bit shy around new people, especially men, I promise I'm incredibly sweet and affectionate once I warm up to you. I'm currently working on improving my recall and responding to my name after a few tries. While I do enjoy some off-leash freedom in close proximity, it's best to wait until I'm more settled in my new environment before fully trusting me off-leash. With my large size and high energy levels, I require a minimum of 2 hours of exercise daily, making a fenced-in yard an ideal setup for me. I get along well with other dog friends and really enjoy socializing and playing with them. Given my size and energy level, I'd likely thrive in a home with pre-teen children or older. Due to my unknown background or history, my past experiences may impact my behavior in unpredictable ways, but with patience and understanding, I'm sure to become a cherished member of your family! Are you ready to open your heart and home to me? If so, I can't wait to meet you! Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label. We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.

Story
Lucy is a lovable, typical goofy great Dane. She lives with one adult two young kids, and one teenager. It is a busy household with lots of friends and families in and out. Sadly due to job loss and having to move she needs a new home. She loves to do sleepovers with her two boys at their dads house and his little tiny dog. She has played with many doggy friends at doggy daycare and visits at home, she has entropion which by the time we were able to get an appointment job loss had happened and couldn’t afford the surgery to fix this so we use eyedrops per the vets recommendation. She otherwise is very healthy. She would love to be in a home with someone who is retired or works from home if she really loves to be with her people all the time. She typically sleeps in one of the kids rooms. She really is a very lovely dog.
