Denali's Story

Dog Name: Denali.<br/><br/>Breed: Catahoula/Pit mix.<br/><br/>Sex: Female.<br/><br/>Age: Soon to be 6.<br/><br/>Weight: 76lbs.<br/><br/>Medical needs: None.<br/><br/>Housebroken: Yes, she alerts at the door.<br/><br/>Crate trained: Yes. She goes in without issue and gets a treat. Sleeps quietly and sometimes retreats to it for a nap.<br/><br/>Good in the car: Yes. She'd prefer to be your co-pilot though.<br/><br/>Good on a leash: Denali is very strong! She is currently walked on a martingale collar. This prevents her neck from being harmed should she decide to pull. If she smells or sees something of particular interest, her instinct is to dig in and pull. She is pretty easily redirected, overall she walks pretty well.<br/><br/>Energy level: Medium. Denali enjoys a good game of fetch and will also entertain herself with toys or bones. If she's walked regularly and has time to play, the rest of the time will be spent snoring away.<br/><br/>Need a fenced in yard: No but she'd LOVE it. She loves to be outside, so you should plan to spend some time with her on a leash — walking, exploring and playing if no fence.<br/><br/>Dog Friendly: Dog selective. Denali is a bit nervous and insecure at first so she requires a slow introduction. In other words, she shouldn't be forced to interact with any dogs immediately and may require space and time to observe before meeting. She does best with dogs her size or bigger because she does think she should be the CEO.<br/><br/>If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive home: No, she would love to have you all to herself.<br/><br/>Cat friendly: No.<br/><br/>Kid Friendly: Yes.<br/><br/>If yes, what's the youngest age: She had exposure to a range of ages in her previous home and foster home. I have not observed her with any small children but feel comfortable saying 10+ due to her size.<br/><br/>Traits that make your foster special: What can I say? This girl is gorgeous even with her seasonal flank alopecia imperfections — just makes her that much more special. Denali is a total love bug when she's comfortable with you. She just wants alllllll the loving. She will usually plop herself in front of you and put her head in your lap and request some pets or she will plop ON you and request them as well. She is also quite the silly goose, her personality is very fun! Denali was previously adopted but was returned to GRR. Her owner experienced an unexpected medical emergency and was no longer able to care for her. When she first came to her previous foster home she was reserved and nervous. Her tail didn't move much and though she sought them out for love, it took her about 10 days to fully relax and show them her whole, silly personality. When Denali came to us (her current foster family) she was nothing but love and her true self right off the jump! It was a great transition from one foster family to another. If you can imagine a happy, little hippo, then you get the picture. Denali can be found zooming around the yard, playing ball (she is a ball fanatic!), taking a sniffari or lounging around the house just relaxing. As stated she LOVES to be outside and would love to show you her cool jump moves! This big girl has some hops! She's settled in quite nicely and now it's time for her take the next big step and find her fur-ever home. If you're looking for a companion that will motivate you to get outside then reward yourself with a little Netflix and chill, Denali is your girl. FYI: Denali WILL require multiple meets not just with the pups in your household but also with you if you are interested in adopting. She is not for the faint of heart (at first), it takes her some time to warm up to new people but once you're in, she's all love. She is also not the kind of girl you can show off to your friends — she prefers to social distance. So if you have a lot of guests over constantly and wanna trophy to show off — she's not your girl. If you have guests over, that is fine but she will prefer to be in her safe space. Please respect the princesses wishes.<br/><br/>Foster's Location: New Castle, DE.<br/><br/>Application can be found here: https://www.grrde.org/adoption-application (if you already have an approved application on file email GrassRootsDE@gmail.com and ask the app team to pull your app)
