Meet Sharkbait, the lovable 8-year-old canine with a heart as big as his size! Despite his name, this gentle giant isn't scary at all - in fact, he's as sweet as can be. Sharkbait may be a Great Dane mix, but he firmly believes he's a lap dog, ready to snuggle up with anyone who will have him.
While Sharkbait may not hear as well as he used to, that doesn't stop him from enjoying life to the fullest. He may miss a command here or there, but his enthusiasm more than makes up for it. And who needs words when his eyes speak volumes of love and affection?
Sharkbait's social circle includes some furry friends, though he prefers the company of dogs who understand his larger-than-life personality. Unfortunately, he's not a fan of feline friends, so a cat-free household would be ideal.
One thing to note about Sharkbait is his size - he's a big boy! While he adores children and their boundless energy, he may inadvertently knock over smaller kids in his excitement. But don't let his size fool you; underneath all that brawn is a gentle soul who just wants to play and be loved.
If you're looking for a loyal companion who's equal parts goofy and affectionate, Sharkbait might just be the perfect match for you. Come meet this delightful dog and see if you're the lucky family who gets to take him home!
