Story
Diesel - Male Great Dane
Age: 4 Years
Gets along with:
Cats: Needs slow introduction
Dogs: Yes
Kids: Needs slow introduction given size
Location: Northeast Indiana
Weight: 145 lbs
Diesel came into rescue very shutdown, but quickly came out of his shell to a happy Dane, and all that that entails (bouncy boy with a deadly tail). He has fit right in with the three other dogs and cats in his foster home. He is learning what toys are, but doesn’t play much yet. He will follow you around (even when vacuuming) and will help you in the kitchen. He spends the night in his crate, but would prefer sleeping in the bedroom (we will leave that up to his new home). He loves snuggling on the couch, and naps there regularly. He walks on a leash, but needs a little more work. Like most big dogs he like his head and ears scratched, but will turn around so you can scratch his butt.
Diesel would fit in almost any family. He is good with other dogs, but would be happy to be the center of attention as an only dog. He would like occasional walks, but is great at taking naps. His recall is still slow, so a fenced yard would be needed.
Diesel is ready to go to his permanent home. He has come out of his initial shell and is now demanding ear and butt scratches. He has gotten along with every dog, cat and person he has met. He does need a slow introduction, just because of his size. He is learning toys (mostly squeeky ones), and may even bring it back a couple times, but then he wears out. Loves sitting and sleeping on a couch, and given a chance, would love to snuggle at night.
Diesel could fit into any home. It would help if the home had some understanding of giant breeds (having your elbow pushed when cooking, pushing a screen out when curious). He is a fast eater, so will come with a slow feed bowl (it helps a little).
