Everyone please read! Great Danes are amazing dogs, but please always research the responsibilities of being a giant owner before you dive in! 🐶 ❤️

🎬 “The Friend” Movie was released this weekend, and while I love seeing this breed that we all love get attention, I am also concerned. 🫣
‼️We’ve seen this cycle too many times. People fall in love with the idea of a Dane, but not the reality.
Why Do People Surrender/rehome Great Danes?
🚫 “I didn’t know they got this big!” (They can reach 150-200 lbs!)
🚫 “They eat too much!” (Be ready for a BIG food bill.)
🚫 “Vet bills are expensive!” (Danes are prone to bloat, joint issues, and heart disease.)
🚫 “I don’t have enough space.” (Even couch potatoes need room to stretch out.)
🚫 “I don’t have time for training.” (A poorly trained 150-lb dog = disaster.)
🚫 “They’re too needy!” (Danes are Velcro dogs and hate being alone.)
🚫 “We had a baby/moved/got divorced.” (Dogs are forever, not just when it’s convenient 🙄.)
Thinking About Getting a Dane? Do This First:
✔️ Research the breed thoroughly before making a decision.
✔️ Be financially prepared—Danes are expensive to care for.
✔️ Commit to training and socialization—a well-behaved Dane is a happy Dane.
✔️ Understand their medical risks—bloat, joint issues, and heart problems are common.
✔️ Have the space and time to give them the life they deserve.
