Hank is a sweetheart of a puppy that loves to play and snuggle. He is approximately 4 months old, and has the best little happy personality. He is curious about everything. So far loud noises are the only thing we have found that he is scared of (lawnmower, train, fireworks) and zoomies from other dogs confuse him. He sits and stares with his little head cocked sideways until they finish and then he is ready to jump in and play.
His favorite toys so far are ropes and shoes but we are working to curb the shoe fetish. Bones and the ears of his foster brother are also fair game for chewing. Hank will pick up sticks during his daily walks and happily carry them for a while until something else catches his eye. His is comfortable in a harness and leash when walking, but needs continued work on his manners.
Hank is still underweight and we are feeding frequently to try and beef him up. He is currently around 40 pounds. He loves food and treats, and responds well to treat training so far.
He gets along well with dogs of all sizes and is excited to meet them all. He also loves all the people he meets. We have taken him on pack walks in the neighborhood and on a few public outings and he has done well. He has been comfortable at the vet’s office so far and all the techs and vets have adored him.
Hank is comfortable in his crate. He eats and rests in it, and sleeps in it at night. He is sleeping up to six hours at night before needing a bathroom break.
Housebreaking is coming along. We let him out frequently and he knows to use the bathroom outside. However if he has to go and we don’t catch it he will still go in the house. Hank is being fostered in Pilot Mountain NC. A fenced yard and giant breed experience is required. If interested in giving Hank a forever home you can email us at info@greatdanefriends.com for an application!
