Male Dog, Great Dane
Great Dane
Description:
LOCATION: Oak Island, NCDOB: 10/01/2022Meet Bruno, a stunning merle Great Dane with the heart of a gentle giant and the soul of a loyal partner. If you know and love the breed, you’ll instantly recognize that signature Dane blend of goofy charm, emotional sensitivity, and deep devotion — Bruno is all that and more.Bruno’s story has been shared through his foster dad’s TikTok and Facebook (look for Dan Roehrs if you’d like to follow his journey), and it’s clear this boy has come a long way. He’s a sensitive soul who’s been through some tough moments, but with patience and structure, he’s blossomed into a funny, affectionate companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side.He’s got that classic Great Dane work ethic — he loves to do things with you. Whether it’s a walk, a little training session, or just hanging out while you get things done, Bruno thrives when he’s part of the team. The more he gets to “work,” the easier he is to manage, and the happier he becomes. Give him a daily routine and a few walks (or a dog park visit to see his buddies), and he’ll reward you with a calm, loyal presence at home.When he’s off-duty, Bruno’s favorite activities include snuggling up in blankets, “borrowing” laundry from the hamper, and showing off his adorable bouncy dance when he’s happy. Once you’ve earned his trust, you’ll see that big puppy energy shine through — and he’ll keep you laughing every day.Bruno has one lingering fear — parking lots. He rides nicely in the car as long as the windows aren’t wide open, but pulling into a lot can still be scary for him. He’s made huge progress through gentle, consistent work, and with patience and empathy, he’ll continue to improve.He’s been fantastic with other dogs, large and small, and he’s a regular at the dog park, where everyone compliments his good manners. He’s also done well around cats and has been calm and tolerant with young kids who approached him unexpectedly. Around adults, he’s a total flirt — especially with anyone willing to give him a good scratch session.Bruno would do best in a home with someone who understands the gentle, giant-hearted nature of Danes — a person or couple who can give him time, consistency, and plenty of love. He doesn’t need acres of land; a backyard and daily walks are plenty for him. What he does need is companionship and mental engagement. He’d be perfect for someone who works from home or a retiree with an active lifestyle.With continued training, Bruno has the intelligence and temperament to excel at advanced obedience — even service work isn’t out of the question. But at the end of the day, he’s happiest lounging at your feet, wrapped up in his favorite blanket, knowing he’s finally home.If you’re ready to welcome a loyal, goofy, and deeply loving companion into your life, Bruno’s ready to meet you — and win your heart.========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176 .Note: SRGDRR adopts nationwide and offers transport options to help you find your perfect match!
