Today is National Great Dane Day! We would like to take this opportunity to re-introduce Raider!
Raider is a 9-month-old Great Dane puppy with a heart as big as his paws. This handsome boy is completely deaf, but don’t tell him that—it doesn’t slow him down one bit. He is an incredibly sweet, affectionate, cuddly boy who loves being close to his people.
Raider came to us emaciated and underweight, and at 115 pounds, he is still growing and gaining the weight he needs. Despite a rough start, he has blossomed into a happy, loving puppy and has so much life and love ahead of him.
He has been well socialized with dogs, cats, and kids and is doing wonderfully in foster care. Raider is crate trained, potty trained, and while he can be a little sensitive in new situations, he is a playful, loving puppy who continues to gain confidence every day.
Because Raider is completely deaf, he requires a home with a physically fenced yard. Experience with deaf dogs and/or giant breeds is a plus, but the right family willing to learn and commit to his needs will be considered.
Raider will leave our rescue vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, dewormed, f***l tested, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.
Because Raider is a giant breed puppy and needs much more time to grow, he will be adopted on a neuter contract with a refundable deposit, with neuter to be completed at the appropriate age.
If you’re looking for a gentle giant in the making and a devoted best friend, Raider may be your boy. 🐾
Applications can be submitted at www.rescuepetsinc.com/adopt.
Raider is a very special boy, and due to his unique needs, the application process may take longer than usual as we work to find the best possible match for him.
