Cyrus's Story

Fostered in Fort Walton Beach, Florida <br/><br/>**Fence required**<br/><br/>Meet Cyrus<br/><br/>If you have ever wondered what it would be like to be loved with the intensity of a thousand suns… Cyrus is ready to show you.<br/><br/>Cyrus is a 2-year-old, 140-pound Great Dane currently living his best foster life in FWB FL and he has one very clear goal in life: to be as physically close to his humans as possible at all times. Personal space? Never heard of it. Boundaries? Sounds fake.<br/><br/>Cyrus is not just a lovebug. He is a full-on, smothering, Velcro, hug-delivering professional snuggler. When you walk in the door, he does not simply greet you. He embraces you with his entire body like you have just returned from a year-long voyage at sea. Every day. Even if you just went to check the mail.<br/><br/>Every human is his best friend. The cashier at the pet store. The neighbor across the street. The random stranger at a food festival. He thrives off attention and affection and will happily make eye contact until you understand that petting him is now your full-time job. Ignoring Cyrus is not an option. He will gently but persistently remind you that he exists and that your hands are, in fact, meant for him.<br/><br/>Despite his size, Cyrus is convinced he is a lap dog. Couch cuddles are mandatory. If you sit down, he will sit down on you. He sleeps peacefully while you are away, but once you return, it is showtime. Hugs, wiggles, leaning, and dramatic displays of devotion are guaranteed.<br/><br/>He is wonderful with people and fantastic with children. He enjoys playing rough and loves a good game of tug of war. He would thrive in an active household that includes him in daily walks, car rides, and community outings. He absolutely loves car rides and is always ready for the next adventure, especially if it involves meeting new admirers.<br/><br/>Cyrus is house and potty trained. He does not need another dog to be happy because, quite frankly, humans are his favorite species. He can do well with other dogs ***with proper introductions*** but he is primarily people-focused. Cats are unknown. He strongly dislikes the crate and would prefer a home where he can be part of the action. A fenced yard is required. His leash manners are mostly good, though he can pull a bit when excitement gets the better of him. His recall is decent but not perfect.<br/><br/>At home, he takes his job as loving protector seriously. He will calmly keep watch over the house, but his main focus remains ensuring you never, ever forget how adored you are. He does have one small cyst on his left front paw that does not cause him any discomfort.<br/><br/>Cyrus would do best with a family who appreciates giant breeds, does not mind being leaned on at all times, and understands that owning a Great Dane sometimes means becoming furniture. If you are looking for a loyal, affectionate, hilariously over-the-top love machine who believes you are the best thing that has ever happened to him, Cyrus is ready to attach himself to your heart and your hip.<br/><br/>Cyrus is fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $400.<br/>To read over the adoption requirements before applying to adopt Cyrus, please go to www.nwflgdr.com/adopt.<br/><br/>Please note: NWFLGDR does not transport. All approved adopters are required to travel to pick up the dog in person from his or her foster parent.

NW Florida Great Dane Rescue Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Our adoption requirements are as follows: 1. All Dogs and Cats in your home MUST be spayed or neutered. We will call your vet to verify this. We allow exceptions in rare medical instances upon verification with your vet only. 2. All Dogs and outdoor Cats in your home MUST be current and have been kept historically up to date on annual vaccinations and monthly (or semiannual) heartworm and flea prevention. We will call your vet to verify this. We allow exceptions to this in rare medical instances upon verification with your vet, ONLY. 3. You must be a minimum of 21 years of age to adopt and be able to prove you're financially able to care for a great dane should a medical emergency arise. 4. You must own the property in which you live or your landlord must be willing to verify that you are allowed to have a Great Dane in your rental home. We check property records.? 5. Our Great Danes require a sturdy fenced in yard, particularly young or active danes. Generally, a six-foot or higher privacy fencing is preferred. In certain circumstances, the Board may waive this requirement depending upon the Dane's personality and temperament. Any such exceptions will solely be at the discretion of the Rescue Board. Under no circumstances will we consider invisible or electric fencing as acceptable. 6. We only adopt Dogs as indoor pets. We will not adopt Dogs to be used as guard dogs or to be kept out-of-doors. 7. A home visit is required for ALL adoptions, without exception. This is not a white-glove inspection, rather it is to ensure that the home is a safe environment for the Great Dane. 8. We do not transport. If you are applying from out of area or out of state, understand that if your application gets approved, you will be expected to pick up the dane in the location that he/she is being fostered. In addition, if the adoption does not work out, it is your responsibility to bring the dane safely back to us. 9. There may be multiple applications for the same Dog. Our Great Danes are placed in the home we believe most suitable for them, based upon their individual needs and temperament. 10. Before applying below, please expect this application process to take about two weeks. If you are applying from out of area or state, please expect a slight delay. It will take us more time to get the home visit set up. At any time, if you have questions about the status of your application, please email the rescue at nwflgdr@gmail.com.
