Dutch's Story

**Fostered in Mobile, Alabama**<br/><br/>Meet Dutch! <br/><br/>Big paws, bigger personality, and an even BIGGER heart! Dutch is an approximately 15-month-old Great Dane puppy who is still figuring out how to be a grown-up, but one thing he already has mastered is being an absolute lovebug!<br/><br/>Dutch is a professional snuggler, and getting a good picture of him is nearly impossible because he is either on the move or trying to climb right into your lap. This big boy believes personal space is overrated, and if there’s a chance to cuddle, he’s taking it!<br/><br/>He's wonderful with older children, but because of his size and typical puppy enthusiasm, we would not recommend a home with young children. He showed no interest in cats while out on a walk, but his compatibility with cats in the home is still unknown. A confident, dog-savvy cat may be a possibility with proper introductions.<br/><br/>Dutch has some pretty impressive accomplishments under his belt! He's potty trained and will alert at the door when he needs to go outside. He walks nicely on a leash, loads into the car well, and is a pleasure to take out in public. He's very food motivated and catches on to basic commands quickly. He's still working on keeping all four paws on the floor (counter surfing is apparently a puppy specialty!) and learning his crate routine. He isn't a fan of going into his crate, but with a little treat motivation, he settles down quickly.<br/><br/>His favorite things include stuffies, Yak chews, frozen treat balls, and, of course, snuggling with his people. He would happily sleep in bed with his human every night if given the opportunity!<br/><br/>Dutch has also come such a long way physically. He still needs to put on some weight, but he has made tremendous progress. His front legs have corrected, his wounds have healed, and he's beginning to build muscle. It's been wonderful watching him grow stronger and healthier!<br/><br/>Dutch is still very much a puppy in a giant body. He'll need a family willing to continue his training, provide structure, and give him plenty of love, patience, and opportunities to grow.<br/><br/>If you've been looking for a giant-sized best friend who will make you laugh, keep you company, and take up approximately 90% of your bed, Dutch might just be your guy!<br/><br/>He's come so far, and his happily-ever-after is still waiting. Could it be with you? <br/><br/>Dutch is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and on routine heartworm prevention. <br/><br/>His adoption fee is $400. To apply to adopt him go to www.nwflgdr.com/adopt. There you can read over our adoption requirements before applying.<br/><br/>Please Note: NWFLGDR does not transport dogs. We require all approved adopters to pick up the dog in person.

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.
