FOREVER FAMILY NEEDED
Meet Wally — a gentle, majestic Great Dane who’s ready for a fresh start. He was found wandering near a busy street in Los Angeles, CA, alongside two Aussie puppies, and spent a month in a crowded shelter before a new foster family stepped in. He was transported from California to a foster home in Magnolia Texas, where is staying until we could find him a new loving home.
Wally has the tall, lean build of an American Great Dane with Euro facial features - minus the drool! He is about 3 years old, has just gotten neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. He is potty trained, and uses a doggy door like a pro. He really enjoys being close to his people — he’ll happily follow you from room to room and rest his head in your lap, a typical Velcro Dane.
