Hello! My name is Tux, and I am a sweet and gentle Great Dane Mix puppy looking for a loving family. I might seem a little shy at first, but once I feel comfortable, you'll see my sweet and silly side. I get along great with other dogs, so if you have furry friends, I’ll fit right in!
As a puppy, I'm still learning the ropes of leash walking, but I'm doing well for such a new skill. Potty training is coming along nicely, and I’m proud to say I'm learning to do my business outside consistently. I love playing with all types of toys and am a big chewer—my favorite toy right now is a rubber pumpkin. While I haven't quite mastered the game of "fetch" yet, I think it would be a fun game for me to learn. I play "tug" and "tag" all day with my dog friends at my foster home.
I’m not a fan of being left alone, but I'm working on it and know this will improve as I feel more safe and secure with my loving family. I'm also still getting used to regular household noises like the vacuum.
I do have some separation anxiety, but having my mastiff friend around helps me stay calm. It's getting better, but I still panic when crated alone. I think I would do best in a family that already has a playful dog I can learn from and romp around with.
I love toys, cuddles, food, treats, walks, blankets, people, and other dogs. I'm not a fan of loud machines like vacuums and blenders, and I don't like being left alone for too long. I've found my voice, but I don’t use it very often.
If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, and slightly goofy companion, I might be the perfect match for your family. I'm ready to fill your life with joy and cuddles!
All of our Great Danes are altered, if medically possible, fully vetted, micro-chipped, and on heartworm prevention or treatment prior to being adopted. Thank you for considering adopting a rescue dog, you're saving a life when you adopt.
