Clause Great Dane Sedalia, CO

Clause is a happy dog who will win you over with his goofy petsonality. He loves shaking his toys, chasing balls, and trying to get his foster siblings to play tug. He brings you toys and will hit you with them when he thinks it's time to play. He's a pro at destroying toys and thinks destuffing them is just too much fun. He loves finding the loudest toy in the house if he thinks it's too quiet to help liven up the place.

He has done amazing with every other dog he has met in social settings. He walks decently on a leash and knows sit and leave it. He is still learning what manners are and likes to push the boundaries when he gets hyper and will jump up. He does get mouthy when he plays, and has no regard for his size. He does respond well to "ouch". Because of this, no children under the age of 12 in his forever home. Clause has been fostered with cats who have been patient with him, but he does chase and tend to put his mouth on them as well so has to be monitored whenever he is with them. He would do best in a home without feline temptation.

He does have some separation anxiety that is slowly improving, but is very much a velcro dog who wants to be with you whenever possible. He can get destructive when left alone even for shorts amount of time, so is kenneled when needed, though he tends to be noisy in his kennel. He goes in without a fuss, and eats his meals there as well as he has shown some signs of resource guarding.

He would do best in a home where he is not left at home alone often. He doesn't have accidents in the house when let outside on a regular basis, but still gets tripped up by changes in routine. He sleeps at night in bed with his fosters. His ideal family would work from home and have other dog siblings to play with him.

Clause was being given away for free on Craigslist. He was in rough shape, with skin and ear infections from untreated mange as well as being kept in a waste filled kennel. He stood hunched lacking muscles in his back legs. He was fed pig feed and smelled so strongly that even after multiple baths, he still could be smelled from over 10 feet away. He had to have a calcified hematoma removed from his side. He's come so far with all new hair growth.
