Huey's Story

*Fostered in Pensacola - 6ft fence required*<br/><br/>Meet Huey - A Gentle Giant possessing a Very Soft Heart<br/><br/>Huey is a big marshmallow disguised as a 3 year old Great Dane — sweet, sensitive, loving, and unintentionally funny. This poor boy spent months on the run before finally finding safety with NWFLGDR, and while those days are behind him, he’s still learning that he no longer has to live life like he’s in an action movie.<br/><br/>Huey will need an understanding, patient family to help rebuild his confidence in “scary” situations. Garbage trucks? Absolutely not. They make him quiver and search for cover like they personally wronged him. Walks under the big blue sky are still overwhelming, and outdoor adventures currently involve locating the nearest hiding spot just in case the world gets too loud.<br/><br/>Because of this, Huey will REQUIRE a well-rounded, confident canine companion in his new home — someone who can show him the ropes, demonstrate that life is actually pretty great, and help him feel brave. Huey gains confidence by watching other dogs, and a calm, world-savvy friend will be essential to his success.<br/><br/>At home, Huey is pure gold. He knows how to use a dog door and does so appropriately for his doggie duties…though he does enjoy carrying his toys outside to gently bury them in a carefully curated cocoon of dirt (yes, bury — artistic choices were made). Foster mom strongly suspects Huey and his foster sister, Kealey, are actively plotting to repaint the inside of the house using dirt from the outside.<br/><br/>Huey loves to play, even though he looks awkward doing it. His play style is endearing, clumsy, and guaranteed to make you laugh — think long legs, unsure coordination, and a lot of “wait, is this how I'm supposed to do this?” energy. He’s joyful, goofy, and tries his very best.<br/><br/>Huey doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body. He’s wonderful with other dogs of all sizes and firmly believes that all cats should want to be his friend too (results may vary). <br/><br/>Huey loves people deeply and seeks affection in the most gentle, unassuming ways — even if he’s unsure of you at first, his heart always wins - if you have hands to give him lovins he will be there. Treats won't reel him in - love will.<br/>Food is optional. His people are not….Huey will leave his food bowl mid-meal just to make sure you didn’t disappear. In fact, he’s convinced the bathroom is a magical portal that swallows humans whole, and he will check on you repeatedly to ensure you survived the toilet vortex.<br/><br/>Huey is still learning that he doesn’t need to run, hide, or watch his back anymore. He has free roam of the house and yard at all times BUT, foster mom closes the dog door when she leaves just in case something scary happens while she is gone. Huey knows how to sit - we are working on stay. He kennels easily without too much vocal drama. Huey's leash skills need work, and until his confidence grows, he should be considered a flight risk. With time, consistency, and fun, positive adventures (and his canine role model), Huey will continue to blossom.<br/><br/>Huey is a soft, silly, deeply loving soul looking for a home that understands healing takes time — and that laughter, patience, and companionship make all the difference.<br/><br/>If you’re ready for a gentle giant who will steal your heart, check on you in the bathroom, and make you laugh daily with his awkward play moves… Huey is waiting.<br/><br/>Huey is neutered, vetted, fully vaccinated and chipped. His adoption fee is $350.<br/><br/>To read over the adoption requirements before applying, please go to www.nwflgdr.com/adopt. <br/><br/>Please note: NWFLGDR does not transport. All approved adopters are required to pick up the dog from his or her foster

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.
