Bender likes to hide his bones in blankets

****Please SHARE Bender!*****

Bender is a 3-5 year old freckle-faced boy, with a long, tall body and beautiful brindle markings. We believe him to be a cross between a pointer or spaniel and a great dane. He may also have some terrier in there somewhere. Right now he is about 50 lbs, medium/large build, but he is on the thin side from his time in the shelter. He should put on a few more now that he is out and in foster care!

Bender is very calm and content, though every once in awhile he does prefer a little romp to get the zoomies out! He likes to chase balls and rope toys and will adore you for playing with him. He also loves to be stroked and petted, and will lean into you for rubs for as long as you will let him. He has an extremely soft and shiny coat and gets super duper wiggly and happy when you call his name!

Bender is very treat-motivated and already knows 'sit'! He is a fast learner and eager to please. We are working with him on some more commands and he is already doing so well! Bender also appears to be house- and crate-trained.

Bender would do best in a home with a decent sized yard and a nice fence. This way he can run and jump around outside safely. Bender generally walks well on a leash, but is not very used to the idea of going on walks! He can be a little protective of his handler and may see others as questionable when greetings are not exchanged. We hear that this is typical of great danes and we are working with him to be more relaxed when we are out and about. For potty purposes, he is more used just doing his business in the backyard!

Bender would do best with a confident owner who knows how to handle bigger dogs with respect and kindness. He has lived with a cat in the past and could probably live with one again. He also does best with friendlier, submissive dogs and is happy to be around them. If you have dogs, please let us know and we can set up a doggy meet! Because he is a bigger boy, he should also meet any small children (under ~8) in the house to make sure that it will be a good match.

Bender is already neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on his shots, so he is ready to go home with you today!

For more information on this super cool dog, please email me today! Bender will be wiggling.... I mean, waiting for you!
