Beauregard

Description

If you’ve always dreamed of life with a gentle giant, Beauregard is ready to make that dream come true. This handsome Great Dane is everything people love about the breed—big, goofy, affectionate, and completely convinced he’s a lap dog. Personal space? Not in Beauregard’s vocabulary! He wants nothing more than to be by your side, soaking up attention and handing out kisses. Like any true Dane, Beauregard’s size and puppy enthusiasm can lead to some hilarious moments. He’s been known to tumble off the couch, wipe out during the occasional zoomie, and accidentally clear an end table with his wagging tail. He never means to cause trouble—he’s simply an oversized puppy still figuring out just how big he is. Beauregard loves everyone he meets and has done well with other dogs, though they can sometimes be intimidated by his size. He lives peacefully with cats, mostly giving them a curious sniff before moving on. He enjoys squeaky toys, bully sticks, walks, car rides, and, most of all, spending time with his people. He’s potty trained on a schedule, keeps his crate clean overnight and for 4–5 hours during the day, and settles down quickly after a minute or two of barking. Beauregard is very food motivated, already knows “sit,” and is making great progress on leash manners. He may still get excited by squirrels, rabbits, or dogs he’d like to meet, but with continued training he’ll make a wonderful walking companion. Despite his goofy puppy energy, Beauregard has an incredibly gentle heart. He has shown no resource guarding, happily shares his space, and truly just wants everyone around him to be happy. His one “enemy” is the vacuum cleaner—not because he’s afraid of it, but because he’s convinced it’s trying to attack his people! Because he’s still a growing puppy who doesn’t always realize his size, Beauregard would do best with school-aged children or older. His jumping has already improved tremendously, and with continued guidance he’ll mature into the laid-back couch potato Great Danes are famous for. Great Danes do have unique health considerations, so adopters should be familiar with the breed or willing to learn. In return, you’ll gain one of the sweetest, goofiest, most loving companions you could ever ask for. Beauregard is the total package—a gentle giant with a playful spirit, a heart full of love, and an endless supply of snuggles. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will happily join you on adventures before curling up on the couch at the end of the day, Beauregard is your boy.   I’m a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready! **Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work! Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.  T his puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void.  We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.   Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee.  Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application. We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
