Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Ace, a beautiful Blue Merle Great Dane, who is in need of a special home to help him overcome his past and become the majestic, loving companion he’s meant to be. Ace came to us from a breeder in Louisiana, where he endured a harsh environment filled with loud yelling and little socialization. Because of his difficult upbringing, Ace is understandably cautious and fearful, but with the right guidance, he has the potential to blossom into the sweet, loyal dog we know he can be. At 2-3 years old, Ace has had some rough experiences, but he is fully vetted, neutered, chipped, and heartworm negative, making him ready to begin his healing journey with the right person. He thrives in a calm, consistent environment with individuals who are experienced with the breed and are willing to put in the time to counter-condition him. Ace has a special bond with women and would flourish best in a home with only female caregivers. While he does well with men at the kennel, he has shown signs of distrust toward men in public. He has also shown a tendency to growl at children, so a home without kids is ideal for him. Ace is an incredibly loving dog once he feels safe, and he adores other dogs—this is his happy place. His ideal home would provide him with opportunities for socialization with other dogs, as well as consistent training and structure. He would benefit greatly from doggy daycare and a structured training routine to help him build confidence and trust. This is not a dog for a first-time dog owner. We are looking for someone with extensive experience with dogs, and specifically Great Danes, who understands the complexities of this breed and is willing to work with Ace as he learns to trust again. He needs someone who can provide gentle guidance and a safe, predictable environment where he can thrive and heal. We believe in Ace's potential and see the kind, loving dog that he can be. To support his journey, the rescue will cover the cost of training and behavior work because we are committed to helping Ace become the majestic Dane we know he can be. If you're the experienced, compassionate person who can give Ace the life he deserves, you will be rewarded with a loyal companion who is ready to share his love and joy with you. We are only considering applicants with experience in handling large, complex dogs, particularly those with a background in working with Great Danes. If you think you’re up for the challenge of helping Ace heal and flourish, we’d love to hear from you.Click here to watch a video of Ace.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All potential adopters must fill out the adoption application.
