Oreo

Meet Oreo<br/>Location: Mission, TX<br/>Date of Birth: 05/01/2024<br/><br/>Oreo is a young Great Dane with a big personality and an even bigger heart. At around 90 pounds, he may be considered on the smaller side for a Dane, but he firmly believes he is the perfect size to be a lap dog. Oreo is affectionate, playful, and loves being close to his people.<br/><br/>Oreo enjoys playing with toys, especially loud squeaky toys or crinkly toys. One squeak is usually all it takes to start a game of fetch. He also loves relaxing around the house and will happily stretch out wherever he chooses, even if it happens to be right in the middle of the room. Like many Danes, he is convinced that wherever he lies down instantly becomes the most important spot in the house.<br/><br/>He is kennel trained and does well riding in the car. Oreo sometimes goes into his kennel on his own when it is time to settle down, though occasionally he will try to avoid bedtime by flopping onto the floor and refusing to move. He is a smart dog with a playful and sometimes stubborn streak.<br/><br/>Oreo is currently pad and kennel trained but may mark occasionally when free roaming the house. His foster home has another dog that marks, which may contribute to the behavior. With consistency and continued training, this should continue to improve.<br/><br/>He is currently working on his leash manners and can pull when excited. Oreo has also recently shown some dog reactivity, and his foster family has begun training to help him feel more comfortable around unfamiliar dogs. With proper introductions and time to adjust, he has done well living with other dogs.<br/><br/>Oreo currently lives with several dogs of various sizes, including small dogs and larger dogs, and enjoys playing and running around with his canine companions. Introductions to new dogs should be slow and structured so he has time to feel comfortable.<br/><br/>He has also lived with cats. As a puppy, one of his best friends was the family cat. Now that Oreo is much larger, the cats in the home are less interested in playing, but he continues to coexist safely with them. He may occasionally chase when the other dogs do, but he has not shown aggression toward the cats.<br/><br/>Oreo does well with adults and has not had issues with visitors entering the home. He may bark when someone arrives at the door but settles once they come inside. When excited, he may jump up to greet people, so continued training will help reinforce calmer greetings. Because of his size and enthusiasm, a home with older children or teens would likely be the best fit.<br/><br/>Oreo is currently heartworm positive and undergoing treatment. His activity is somewhat restricted during this time, but once he has completed treatment he will be able to return to more active play and outdoor time.<br/><br/>The ideal home for Oreo is one that will be patient while he adjusts and continues his training. He is a smart dog who learns quickly with consistency and structure. Oreo thrives on companionship and will do best with a family who enjoys having their dog nearby and involved in daily life.<br/><br/>For someone looking for a loyal companion, a playful personality, and a very large cuddle partner, Oreo has all the qualities that make Great Danes such beloved family members.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Oreo, please complete an adoption application.<br/>https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176
