Status: ADOPTION PENDING- Not accepting new interest at this time
10/16/2022 Introducing Bravo!
Bio (Updated 12/7/22):
- 2 Years Old
- Female spayed and stomach tacked (gastropexied)
- Black with minimal white markings
- Located in Baldwin, WI
Basic Info:
- Came into the rescue with little in the way of training/socialization skills
- Thrives off positive reinforcement
- Unknown how she would react to a home with cats. She was indifferent to them at the vet but has not lived with them
- Plays well with all dogs (small, large, male, female)
- She can go from 0 to 60 in no time, but like most young Danes, also from top speed to total chill just as quickly too
Likes:
- Snuggling: she is very affectionate and loves cuddle time
- Running and playing outside. She has good recall, but her foster home still recommends a large fenced in area for her safety, as she gets overly excited during her zoomies and can run out of bounds:
- Car rides: she gets in and out willingly and sits or lies down during rides with no problem
- Toys: particularly squeaky ones and chew ones
- Ice: she loves ice cubes and runs to the fridge for them when she hears the ice machine noise
Dislikes:
- Being alone. She is not used to being left alone and has displayed anxiety and barking issues in as short as half an hour when people are out of sight. Her foster mom is home based for work so she has not been left alone on a regular basis except occasional outings up to a few hours. Bravo has done fine with limited free roam during those periods.
- Being crated:She can spend about 2 hours max in the crate if given something to occupy her time. When attempted to leave her crated, camera surveillance shows her scratching, barking, whining, and biting the cage. She needs continued work with crate training.
- Sudden movements can startle her. If frightened she will cower and crawl, run or hide behind a person she trusts.
- Not a dislike, but she has developed some possessiveness of her main caretaker (who is a woman) while in foster care, This is something that will need continued work/training
Medical Notes:
- None, she is a healthy young girl!
Hard Requirements For Forever Home:
- Previous large dog experience
- If there are children in an adoptive home they must be large dog savvy age10 or older as Bravo is very big, strong, active and not aware of her size or boundaries.
- A home that is committed to continued training and working on socialization skills. She was a COVID pup without much socializing/training and really deserves the chance to be her best doggy self!
