Hi there! I’m Arizona, a charming and strong Great Dane located in Greeneville, Tennessee. Let me tell you a bit about myself from my perspective!
I’m a doll, but don’t let that fool you—I can be a solid guard dog. I alert quickly to anything that approaches the house and am cautious of strangers, but I’m fiercely loyal to my household. I bark sparingly and am generally very quiet. Also, I don’t lick at all.
Like most Danes, I’m torn between two elements. I love to be doted on and enjoy my naps. I’m still young, so I have bursts of energy, but it’s clear that I’m waiting for a home to keep me, nourish me, and love me.
I’m very well house-trained but not happy with crates or being restrained. When my current family leaves the house, they let me have the whole place. If I’m closed in a room, I can damage doors and frames. I do chew, but if my toys are present, that makes me happy. Just keep counters and tables clear of anything you want to be spared.
I yearn to play with other dogs, but my size can be an issue for smaller dogs. I’m ‘happy’ punchy, meaning I throw my weight around when I want to play, which can be scary for smaller animals or create quick tension. I would likely work best in a home without dogs or with dogs my own size.
I’m strong—all muscle, especially in my forelegs and shoulders. During a vet visit, the vet said I have the veins of an elephant, which is true. I can scale small and even relatively large fences without much effort. It seems I’ve been a stray most of my life, so this might be my first instinct in a new home.
Once I settle with my new family, I’m content and happy, looking for love and my chew toys. I nap often. But if you want a house guarded, I have the boom in my voice to make sure I’m heard and understood.
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and protective companion, I’m your girl. Can’t wait to meet you and become a part of your family!
Love, Arizona
