MOUSSE IS NOT AT THE SHELTER -- HE IS IN A TEMPORARY FOSTER HOME.To schedule an appointment to meet Mousse, please email: moussethegreatdane@yahoo.comMagnificent Mousse (M, 3-years-old, Great Dane) is the GENTLEST of gentle giants (and the giantest, too)! Every ounce of his 160-pounds is calm, affectionate, and delicately sweet. He has moments of goofy, playful energy, but mostly, he's a big potato.Mousse was purchased from a breeder as a puppy (yup, he's a fancy guy with AKC papers and such) and lived three years with the same family. They had to move into a small apartment, so Mousse ended up at Animal Aid, and then went to a fabulous foster family.Here's what they have to say:Mousse is super smart, potty trained, great on a leash, dog friendly, friendly with our kids (8 & 3-years old), eats well, no food aggression, loves treats, loves his toys, and is a wonderful dog. He doesn't get on couches or beds unless given permission. He lets us trim his nails, he bathes well in the shower once we coax him in, he'll even let us brush his teeth or scratch the gunk off with our fingernail (I know, gross but hey gotta keep his mouth clean). Mousse loves children, but he can get over-excited/anxious if A LOT of children swarm him at once, and, unfortunately, his foster family lives in a neighborhood where loud, playful kids are always running up to him on walks. They think sweet Mousse would be a lot happier with less chaos :)This gorgeous guy is longing to fill a forever home with love -- please SHARE THIS POST -- we know there are Great Dane lovers out there! ***Reach out to his foster family at moussethegreatdane@yahoo.com to schedule an appointment to meet him!The meeting will take place at Animal Aid Society, and Animal Aid Society will review all adoption applications.Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm. Hope to see you soon!PLEASE NOTE: Animal Aid Society observes a 40 mile adoption radius to facilitate post adoption support and follow ups.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER: Moose needs a Valentine to help him celebrate his birthday. HISTORY: Moose was born on Valentine’s Day in 2023. Moose came to MTM from a home in Kentucky. PERSONALITY: Moose is loving, playful and loyal. Moose may look full grown but he is very playful. Moose loves crinkle toys and tug of war ropes. Moose does get the zoomies usually at night before bedtime. He loves to play but just as much as he loves to play Moose loves to rest, snuggle and be pet. His favorite spots to be pet are on his head and behind his ears. Moose is also very loyal. He will let it be known when something is amiss. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Playing with crinkle toys, tug of war ropes, being pet and snuggling, going for walks. MEDICAL ISSUES: Moose came to MTM rather thin and needing to put on some weight (117.4 at intake) he has been gaining weight. Moose also has some calluses which he has oil being put on them to soften up the spots. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: The best home for Moose would be one where the adopter understands the needs of a Great Dane or large breed dog. One who is patient and willing to help train Moose to be the best dog he can be. Moose is leash trained (must be walked using a harness as he will very easily slip his collar), housebroken and crate trained but is still working on manners. He does jump when he gets excited and when he gets bored will chew on whatever he can find. Moose has been doing well with redirection when receiving correction. Moose loves to be near his person or people and will follow around. Moose prefers to be wherever the people are. He is an absolute love and would love a home where he can have lots of attention.

Story
Zeus is a very loving boy. He likes to be outside when it's nice out but doesn't mind the rain or snow. I purchased him from a breeder locally. He can be protective when others come in his yard. He also can be a little destructive if he's left by himself after about 6-7 hours. He can be the biggest goof ball when he's playing with my other small dogs. He doesn't mind cats, unfortunately I'm not sure with kids we don't have any and he hasn't been around them. He doesn't mind a bath as long as you have a big enough tub to put him in. He doesn't like tight spaces. I've never had him in a kennel so I'm not sure how he would react. He's 2 years old and about 200lbs.
