Male Dog, Great Dane
Great Dane (Short Coat)
Description:
Helloooo World! Let me introduce myself - my name is AUGGIE, short for Augustus, but Foster Mom says that is way too formal for me. My previous owner surrendered me to an animal shelter, but thank goodness Great Dane Friends came and got me out of there. I am about 18 mths old, but I have the small stature and puppy face that will keep me looking young forever - your very own perpetual puppy. I am a smart boy, who does know a few things, but Foster Mom says I have more to learn. I am the bestest boy at sitting and I always throw in a bonus paw shake when my butt hits the floor. Sometimes my paw shaking enthusiasm almost throws me off balance. I am learning to Wait for my food dish and it so HARD when the food looks so good. I can’t stop the drool and Foster Mom laughs because I usually get two matching drool bubbles on either side of my mouth while I wait - just release me lady so I can EAT! And another Auggie bonus - I am very neat and always wipe my face after a good meal but for some reason using the couch as a napkin gets me in trouble - jeez, so many rules! Foster Mom says I need some practice walking on leash and just being a little braver out in the world. I am curious about other dogs and sometimes my enthusiasm gets a little loud when we are out and about. I’m a fairly vocal guy and an awesome singer aka howler, so I just can’t stop myself from being verbal. When I play with my foster sister, who is half my size and very sassy, we get fairly loud trash talking with each other. Did I mention what an awesome snuggler I am? Please do provide me with a pillow and soft blanket or I will just have to take yours - sorry a puppy’s gotta do, what I gotta do to stay comfy. I have gotten a little snarky when I’m trying to snuggle with Foster Mom and my Foster Sis comes up, so I am having to work on sharing or she says no more snuggles for me - UGH, so much to learn! I am crate trained but have my own room right now because my happy tail had to heal. Foster Mom says I am about 75% housetrained. I’m really good about letting you know I have to go, but if you aren’t around sometimes a boy just can’t hold it. I promise I’m working on that. If you feel your life is needing an Auggie - well HERE I am! Please contact my friends at Great Dane Friends at [email protected] and they’ll hook us up. Auggie is being fostered near Asheville NC *****Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love covers NC and surrounding states for adoptions.

Our approval process consists of an application, vet and reference checks, phone interview and house check. Please email us for an application or if you have any questions.*****
