Dane - Adopted!

This young Great Dane X , is a big bundle of soft sweetness!

Dane’s personality:
This big beautiful boy is a giant marshmallow! He has the best personality you could ask for in a doggy companion. He is sweet, calm, gentle, and walks so well on the lead. He makes the sweetest ‘chomping’ sounds with his mouth and isn’t shy about giving big sloppy kisses to express his love for you. Dane steals the heart of everyone who meets him!

Dane’s ideal forever home:
Dane would love a family to shower him with the love he deserves but could also suit a single person or a couple wanting to share their life with this amazing boy. Dane has spent time with a few other medium to large size dogs and has displayed great socialisation behaviour, enjoying a good frolic and play. He adores his best friend and roommate Zeus, and it is such a joy to watch them play together.
Dane will need a large fenced yard for him to stretch his long legs but to be also able to spend time with his new family inside. Due to his size, he will be best suited in a home with older children and with a family that has had experience with large breed dogs. Dane just wants love and affection and he will be happiest alongside his family in their day to day activities. He loves his current twice daily walks so this would need to continue as well.

Dane’s story:
Dane’s full story is unknown, but in January of this year, he was noticed wandering around on the streets of Taree by several members of the community. Through the hard work and love of these amazing people, he was caught and taken to the pound where he could be kept safe and fed. Sweet Pea Animal Rescue was then able to take him into care, where he has been ever since. This poor boy was very underweight on arrival by about 10kg and was not in good health after being a stray for so long. With time, love, and some high quality food to aid in putting on the weight, Dane is now the picture of health! Despite his rough time, he is nothing but a loving, gentle boy and is so deserving of a life that is so opposite to the one he would have had if it was not for the work of the community.

Dane’s medical history:
Dane came into Sweet Pea very underweight for a dog his size. He weighed about 30kg with his ribs and hipbones very prominent. Because of his great appetite, he has bulked back up now to a desirable weight – if not slightly more! He is now microchipped, desexed, treated for heartworm, flea/tick and intestinal worms, and is fully vaccinated.

More about Dane:
Dane is an approximately 2 year old Male Great Dane x with eyes that will melt your heart. Fun fact: Dane was only going to be a temporary name until another one could be thought of. Even after a poll for a new name amongst the volunteers (with Duke also a strong front-runner), the name Dane has stuck and no one can imagine calling him anything else! Dane is a very sweet boy who prefers to stand close to you – often leaning on your leg – instead of playing with toys. This big softie will often turn to you and seek some affection while on a walk and will continue on at a gentle pace once he has received his pats and praise. While he is a gentle boy 99% of the time, you should always be aware that if something grabs his attention e.g. bird in the grass, he does have the capacity to be very strong and could pull hard if you are caught off guard. However, he is responsive to commands and is just happy to be near you.

Dane has been with us for 4 months now and is more than ready to move on to the next stage of his life with a happy and loving family. Will that be you?
