My story

Introducing Patch! Happy  Active  Social  Affectionate Personality: Patch is a playful and joyful Great Dane whose antics light up every room he enters. Despite his deafness and partial blindness, he exudes happiness and energy that are truly contagious. Submissive yet full of life, Patch thrives on companionship and play. Socialness: Patch loves the company of other dogs and would do best in a home with one or two canine companions to share in his playful escapades. His interactions with cats are unknown, so slow and structured introductions would be necessary. While Patch enjoys being around people of all ages, a home without young children is ideal due to his size and exuberance. Likes: Playing with his canine friends. Snuggling with his family. Playing outside and enjoying the fresh air. Ice cream treats (his favorite indulgence!). Hogging the bed or couch for his naps. Dislikes: Being left alone for extended periods. Training: Patch is housebroken and crate-trained. He does well with hand signals and touch for communication of commands. He has been trusted with free roam for short periods of time while his foster family is away but may get a bit rambunctious if left for longer periods of time while having free roam. He does do well being crated during a standard workday. Health: Patch is on a generic form of Prozac to help manage his anxiety. He also has "happy tail," a result of his wagging enthusiasm, which occasionally causes minor injuries. Otherwise, Patch is in good health and ready to share his love and joy with his forever family. Forever Home Requirements: A physical fence of at least 6 feet is required to ensure his safety due to his deafness and partial blindness. He would love a mid-size to large yard to play in. A home with one or two playful and gentle canine companions is ideal. No young children; older children or adults are best suited to match his size and energy. Fun Fact: Patch’s tail wags with so much enthusiasm that it sometimes causes his "happy tail" to break open—a testament to just how thrilled he is to be around his loved ones! His vibrant personality shines through his expressive eyes, inviting you to embark on a journey of love and companionship. Patch is eager to become your loyal friend. If you are the friend Patch is waiting for, please contact us by following one of the steps below. 1. If you have already completed the application process and are an approved adopter with UMGDR, please contact Patch’s Placement Coordinator at michelle@thegreatdanerescue.com to learn more about him. 2.
