We are so excited to be a part of changing the future for this handsome male Great Dane called Neville. Recently we were asked to help this one year old fawn colored boy to find a home and to do all the vetting from the ground up. You see, Neville was orphaned at birth when his momma died and he was hand- raised and fed by a woman who dearly loved him and still does. Eventually, she realized she was overwhelmed due to his size and the future of caring for him (she was a senior lady) and sadly she surrendered him to Critter Cavalry Rescue. Soon our foster mom who has two Great Danes herself, quickly figured out that Neville had only been around his Great Dane dad and siblings all his life and it was a sight to behold when he met the variety of dogs at this new foster home. Neville tucked his tail and ran with sheer fright! He has since embraced all the foster dogs, cats, horses, donkeys and pigs as his friends. This special boy doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. And if you know the Dane breed traits, he is all of those and more. He loves to run and play with all his new dog friends and we think he believes he has died and gone to dog heaven with all these friends to play with.
Eager to please, Neville is the happiest when he puts his huge head in your lap to absorb all the love from his foster mom. He loves to be petted and told how good a boy he really is. He is still a wee bit timid of new things and he will seek out a kind human to lean on for reassurance that all is well. He is not in the house 24/7, but close to being housebroken all the same. He has been neutered and we talked his stomach for the prevention of stomach flipping later in life. This common malady effects the large breed dogs in high numbers and the reality of it happening is huge. It is costly and often how large dogs end up in the ER at the expense of well over $5000 with no guarantee that the emergency surgery will save the dog. We try to give this all-important insurance by tacking the stomach to help prevent any future flipping of the stomach. We know that Neville will be the love of some family’s life if he is chosen. We will require a fenced yard and someone that does not leave him 8-9 hours daily for work. Shorter work hours away are fine, but he will be lonely if left crated for 8-9 hours.
