My story

Hello Great Dane Aficionados! My name is GEORGE and my foster mom says I am perfect - which makes me blush just a little. This is my second time with Great Dane Friends. I was adopted about 4 years ago at age 4, but my family was moving into a camper while they build a new house and they didn’t think it would be the best place for me. I was sad for a bit leaving my skin siblings, but I love everyone I meet and I know there is a family out there just waiting to meet me.   Foster mom says that I have no understanding of personal space, but that is just because I love everyone so much and I just want to smoosh my big old head against you so I can get LOVE - ‘cuz it’s the best. FM says I have such a calm, debonair nature that I am a great companion for going out and about on the town and meeting everyone from little kids to adults and other pups too. A drool towel might be helpful though, because I do occasionally leave some drool art around.   I live with two furry foster sisters, right now, and they are CRAZY! I have a good time wrestling with them - especially the smaller, wildest one. I can lay on the couch and she just jumps all around and we wrestle - I guess you could call that lazy play, but it works for me! When we’re all worn out I love just snuggling with everyone on the couch.   I’m hoping for a family who will include me in their activities and take me out and about to explore the world with them. I enjoy car rides and would probably make a great travel companion even in a camper, I think. I don’t need a crate at all and am a very good boy when left home alone.   I am house trained, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccines. Being as I am a senior boy, I’m hoping my new family understands the importance of joint supplements and any other care necessary to keep me walking well for years to come - we’ve got exploring to do, ya know!  George is being fostered in Asheville NC. If interested in adopting you can email us at info@greatdanefriends.com*****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions. We require a fenced yard (exceptions made on a case by case basis - NO exceptions for puppies or deaf/vision impaired dogs - no invisible fencing), that stairs in the home be covered with some sort of slip resistant material to prevent injury, that all other animals in the home be up to date on vaccinations as well as spayed/neutered and that all dogs live inside as a part of the family. Our approval process consists of an application, vet and reference checks, phone interview and house check. Please email us for an application or if you have any questions.*****   June 8, 2025, 2:48 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt George, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
